The Blade, The Light
Ashes of Eden
I will walk beneath quiet a sky
Where every wing removed to move
My armor felt too heavy
For heart that still remembers you
For a heart that still remembers you
They call me light
But I still walk through shadows
They call me blade
But I am carved and hallow
If this is what the throne commands
Then let me bleed before I follow
And the cries of heaven in my chest
Not a single soul could hear me break
The hallow feels like a chain in a vow
I swore I could never shake
He fell
And still his absence stains my hands
I stay
But even angels drown in what they cannot withstand
If loyalty is a sacrifice
Then I have died a 1000 times
And the trumpets called my name
The sky turned cold the ground ignited
Duty never asked if I was frightened
It only says obey
So I marched out alone
With trembling breath and burning bones
If heaven won't weep for me
Then let the battlefield at least know my pain
I am the blade
I am the light
I stand alone
Against the light
If every angel turns away
Then I will be the one who stays
My duty is my curse
My pride
I break, I bleed but, still I rise
I am the blade
I am the light
The first wings fell, before I spoke
The feathers turning red in flight
I whispered they never hear
To God's who never answered mine
Every step was guilt and rage
Every strike of him denied
And with every life I took for faith
Something holy in me died
I feel the heaven's tremble
But they won't tremble for me!
If this is what the lord commands
Then let my wrath set angels free
I tear the sky
I shattered wings
I break the ones who challenge him
I crush their halos underfoot
And let the light extinguish them
I break, I burning
I break, but I do not bend
I tear the earth in half
If it means I stay in his hands
Come on by one or come as legions
I'll the stats out of the sky
And end your treasures
This is my war
This is my right
I am the blade
I am the light
I am the pain
I am the light
And their voices crown my name
I felt the weight of heaven's praise
But praise can't heal the heart that breaks
For all the hearts I could not save
Even after all I've slain
Even after all this might
I still fall to my knees
At the memory of that night
I won the war
I kept the light
But even now
The angel cries
I am the blade
I am the blade
I am the blade
I am the blade
I am the light
