The Vow of the Crimson Flame

Ashes fall like snow on broken lands
Echoes cry where angels once would stand
Chains were wrapped around a silenced soul
But fire sleeps in embers dark and cold

I was cast into the night
Drowned in fear, stripped of light
Yet through the smoke I found my name
A whisper born of flame

I rise with the crimson flame
Burning brighter than their hate
From the shadows, I reclaim
Every truth they tried to break
With a sword of sacred pain
I carve my vow into fate
I shall never kneel again

Steel and blood now shape my crown
Marching storms won't pull me down
What was taken shall return with fire
Fueling wrath, reborn desire

Every scar a sacred mark
A beacon in the dark
I am the howl beyond the gate
The echo time can't erase

With the crimson flame
Burning brighter than their hate
From the shadows, I reclaim
Every truth they tried to break
With a sword of sacred pain
I carve my vow into fate
I shall never kneel again

(Algor, the usurper)
You took my voice
You fed me lies
But I forged a warcry from every silence
(Ashka Cindergut)
And now I burn, immortalized

I rise with the crimson flame
Let the heavens feel my name
Through the ashes, I became
More than flesh, beyond the pain
Every wound a crowned domain
Every fall was not in vain
I swear: I won't kneel again
