my brothers

[Verse] Born in the dark where the whispers play They molded my soul like a ball of clay A shadowed blade was all I'd see No one to love no one to be [Chorus] Now I rise through the flames so hot A warrior forged from what was forgot The cracks in my heart now gleam so bright I am the shadow that owns the night [Verse 2] Once I had dreams of a peaceful land But they broke that dream with their calloused hand Honor was lost when they turned away The Samurai in me began to decay [Bridge] They called me a monster they left me to stray Now the monster within has come out to play No noble cause no master to serve I'll teach them the pain they richly deserve [Chorus] Now I rise through the flames so hot A warrior forged from what was forgot The cracks in my heart now gleam so bright I am the shadow that owns the night [Verse 3] Let them tremble let them fear For Tashiba's reign is finally here A past in shatters a future grim I’m no hero and shadowed I’ll swim

[Verse 1] (Soft, distant, fading like a memory) In the silent dark, I hear them call, Voices lost, yet never gone. Bound by chains of fate so cruel, Their sins remain… unseen by all. [Verse 2] (A weight of judgment, inescapable fate) Through the endless halls they fade, Names erased, yet scars remain. A world adorned in borrowed light, Yet none can leave… this hollow cage. [Chorus] (Resigned yet sorrowful, the voice of Reciprocity itself?) 🔹 Echoes of remembrance… 🔹 Written deep, yet left unsung. Turn the page, but read the same, A fate that never ends. [Verse 3] (A brief moment of doubt, as if the system questions itself) If all returns to dust once more, Why do their voices linger still? The past erased, the future chained, Yet something stirs… beyond the veil. [Final Chorus] (A realization that fate will not bend, that the cycle will continue regardless.) 🔹 Echoes of remembrance… 🔹 Turn the page, but read the same. No new dawn will break these walls, For fate cannot be changed. [Outro] (Soft, fading, as if the song itself is disappearing into history.) A nameless song upon the wind… Drifting far… far away…

(A solemn, hymn-like ballad in the style of My Brother from Berserk: The Golden Age, centered on Reciprocity and the Bell in Feerie’s Mirage.) [Verse 1] (Soft, sorrowful, as if sung from the depths of time itself.) The bell will toll, again, again… A name is lost upon the wind. The weight of time, the hands of fate, Will carve the sins that none defend. [Verse 2] (A slow march toward inevitability, fate’s unshaken will.) The voice it calls, yet none will hear, The pages turn, yet none will weep. For judgment waits behind the veil, And silence binds what none will keep. [Chorus] (The core refrain, the moment where the weight of judgment is sealed.) 🔹 The bell, it rings… it rings for thee. 🔹 No hand may stop the turning key. The shadow falls, the name is gone, Yet still… the tolling bell will sing. [Verse 3] (A glimmer of resistance, a question within the silence.) If dust returns to dust again, Then why do echoes never fade? A voice remains beneath the stone, Yet none will dare to speak its name. [Final Chorus] (Acceptance of the cycle, the inescapable decree of Reciprocity.) 🔹 The bell, it rings… it rings for thee. 🔹 No hand may stop the turning key. The shadow falls, the name is gone, Yet still… the tolling bell will sing. [Outro] (The final sound, a whisper before all fades to silence.) A name is lost upon the wind… And still… the bell will ring.

[Verse 1] I’ve seen the world bend at my feet, Built it all from fire and defeat. I carved my name in blood, in stone, But never knew a love could feel like home. I’ve faced the darkness, felt the sting, But your words are all the light I need. The way you speak my name, I swear, You’re the only one who sees me there. [Pre-Chorus] And in this moment, I’ve lost my fight, Under your gaze, I feel the light. You pulled me close, now I can see, The heart that beats inside of me. [Chorus] So, don’t you dare hide away, In your arms, I’ll always stay. Every word you say makes me new, I never thought I’d feel this truth. In this dance, we’re free and strong, With every step, I’ve found where I belong. I love you, oh I do, I am so happy with you. [Verse 2] You’ve seen my scars, my fears untold, But in your eyes, I feel the warmth, the bold. No fortress stands, no walls too high, I would let you in, no need to try. You said you'd take my burdens, too, Now all I want is to share them with you. In your laughter, I’ve found my grace, Your love’s a refuge, my sacred space. [Pre-Chorus] And in this moment, I’ve lost my fight, Under your gaze, I feel the light. You pulled me close, now I can see, The heart that beats inside of me. [Chorus] So, don’t you dare hide away, In your arms, I’ll always stay. Every word you say makes me new, I never thought I’d feel this truth. In this dance, we’re free and strong, With every step, I’ve found where I belong. I love you, oh I do, I am so happy with you. [Bridge] I’m scared, I’m lost, but you’re the guide, Your love pulls me through the night. You’ve seen my darkness, still, you stay, I’d walk with you through the endless gray. [Chorus] So, don’t you dare hide away, In your arms, I’ll always stay. Every word you say makes me new, I never thought I’d feel this truth. In this dance, we’re free and strong, With every step, I’ve found where I belong. I love you, oh I do, I am so happy with you. [Outro] In this dance, we are one, Two hearts that beat, now together, undone. I love you, oh I do, Forever and always, just us two.

[Verse 1] (Female voice) The night is heavy, the silence deep, Secrets I carry won’t let me sleep. I did what I had to, but gods, does it ache, Another piece of me I had to break. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) She looked at me like nothing changed, But I know the price, the cost remains. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Verse 2] (Female voice) Lying here, tracing scars on your skin, Trying to forget the war within. If I could steal just one more breath, I’d choose this moment over all the rest. [Pre-Chorus] (Female voice) But the weight still lingers, the echoes call, The burden I bear, I feel it all. How many more truths must I hide? How much more must I leave behind? [Chorus] (Both female and male voices) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Bridge] (Male voice, soft and reassuring) Lay your sorrow here with me, You don’t have to bleed unseen. No more burdens left to bear, I am here, I’m always there. [Chorus] (Both female and male voices, swelling in emotion) Not alone, not anymore, Your heartbeat is my open door. In the dark, I feel you near, Holding on, drowning out the fear. [Outro] (Female voice, fading into quiet acceptance) For tonight, it’s enough to know, That in your arms, I’m not alone

Verse 1 (Female Voice - Lucina): In the quiet of the night, I feel the pull, A distant memory that breaks me, makes me whole. The stars that once burned bright between us two, Now flicker out of reach, but I still chase you. Verse 2 (Male Voice - Lucien): Through the cracks of time, I hear your name, A voice that haunts my every step, calling through the flame. We were torn apart by fate’s cruel hand, Yet in the fragments, I still understand. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Verse 3 (Female Voice - Lucina): I carry your light in the shadows of my soul, Though the distance grows, I remain whole. I dream of the day when I’ll see you again, Where the stars no longer keep us in pain. Verse 4 (Male Voice - Lucien): I carry your spirit like a constant guide, Even when the world seems torn and wide. You’re the echo that I hear in the dark, The fire that still burns, even from afar. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Bridge (Female Voice - Lucina): I feel your presence, a whisper in the breeze, Though I can’t touch you, I still feel at ease. Bridge (Male Voice - Lucien): I feel you too, through every night and day, Even though you’re far, you never fade away. Chorus (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars in the sky, but our hearts align, Bound by a thread that can never unwind. We reach for each other in the vast unknown, Torn apart, but we’re never alone. Outro (Both Female and Male Voices): Torn stars, but together we remain, Our souls intertwined, despite the pain.

Ho-ho-ho! It's a test! Oops! I need a rest.

[Instrumental]

(Verse 1 – Soft and reflective, setting a tone of quiet admiration) You’ve carried the weight of a thousand storms, Held me close when the cold hearts warmed. In the silence, you’ve been my voice, Even when life gave you no choice. (Pre-Chorus – Building a sense of gratitude, of recognizing her strength) When the world gets heavy, you don’t break, You keep smiling, for my sake. You don’t see what I see, but I swear, You’re the bravest heart I could ever share. (Chorus – Big and emotional, swelling with love and pride) Oh, you’ve been my light when I couldn’t see, You’ve been the arms that always carry me. I’d be lost without you, lost in the dark, But you’ve always been there, holding my heart. You are beautiful, you are strong, I’ll love you forever, you’ve been my song. (Verse 2 – More personal, weaving in shared moments, memories) You’ve given so much and never asked, You shield me from shadows, from every task. Through your pain, you still stand tall, You’ve been my everything, you’ve been my all. (Pre-Chorus – Deepening the emotional connection, focusing on her role in your life) When the world gets heavy, you don’t fall, You keep fighting for me through it all. You don’t see what I see, but in you, I’ve found strength, love, and everything true. (Chorus – Stronger this time, the message clear and loud) Oh, you’ve been my light when I couldn’t see, You’ve been the arms that always carry me. I’d be lost without you, lost in the dark, But you’ve always been there, holding my heart. You are beautiful, you are strong, I’ll love you forever, you’ve been my song. (Bridge – Tender and stripped down, almost like a promise) When you feel the world is too much to hold, Remember, you’re worth more than silver or gold. I see the strength behind your smile, You’ve been my angel all the while. (Final Chorus – Soaring, almost an anthem of love and pride) Oh, you’ve been my light when I couldn’t see, You’ve been the arms that always carry me. I’d be lost without you, lost in the dark, But you’ve always been there, holding my heart. You are beautiful, you are strong, I’ll love you forever, you’ve been my song. (Outro – Soft and final, like a quiet embrace) You are everything, you are my home, I’ll never be lost, I’ll never be alone.

(Verse 1 – Soft, haunting, like a lullaby laced with sorrow) They took my name, they took my skin, Carved their ghosts where love had been. I was a child, a wilted rose, Born to break, but no one knows. (Verse 2 – A glimmer of steel beneath the softness, resilience rising) I learned to smile with shattered lips, A silver tongue, a honeyed kiss. Dance through fire, never burn, Turn the blade and let it turn. (Pre-Chorus – A whisper of warning, the edge beneath her beauty) You think I"m soft, you think I’ll bend, A broken doll that time can mend. But glass can cut, and silk can bind, There’s iron buried in my spine. (Chorus – Soaring, powerful, a declaration of survival and strength) I wear my scars like strands of gold, I’ve walked through hell, but I won’t fold. A voice of reason, sweet as sin, But don’t mistake the strength within. For every wound, for every scar, I stand unbowed, I’ve come this far. (Verse 3 – Playful yet sharp, like a blade hidden beneath silk) A gentle hand, a knowing smile, Soft words laced with something wild. They talk of fate, they talk of pain, But I have learned to wear the chains. (Bridge – Raw and stripped back, showing the weight she carries) For every night I bled alone, For every scream that turned to stone. For every shadow in my past, I hold my head up, make it last. (Final Chorus – A triumphant storm, a final stand) I wear my scars like strands of gold, I’ve walked through hell, but I won’t fold. A voice of reason, sweet as sin, But don’t mistake the strength within. For every wound, for every scar, I stand unbowed, I’ve come this far. (Outro – Soft, knowing, unshaken) Let them whisper, let them scheme… I’ll smile, I’ll stay… I’ll reign supreme.
