Lightning And Thunder

Do you remember when we were young
Running through fields where our story had begun
You reached for my hand beneath the willow tree
Two souls unbroken, wild and free

But whispers of power called out your name
Promised you glory, promised you fame
I watched you slip into the shadow's embrace
The darkness consuming the light in your face

Now here we stand on opposite sides
The fate of nations in our eyes
My heart is breaking but I must be strong
This is the moment we've feared all along

Lightning and thunder, our magic collides
Darkness and brilliance tearing the skies
The ground is shaking beneath our feet
Two forces of nature that were never meant to meet
Your shadows are rising, my radiance burns
The world holds its breath as the battle turns
We were sisters in magic, now enemies sworn
In this clash of titans, a friendship is mourned

Your eyes flash with power I don't recognize
The friend that I knew lost behind those eyes
You summon the void with a desperate cry
I answer with brilliance that lights up the sky

Every spell that you cast, I no longer recognize
Every dark incantation meets my light in the skies
We're dancing this deadly and terrible waltz
Where only one of us walks when destiny calls

The armies below us have stopped in their tracks
Watching two forces that can't turn back
I'm calling your name through the chaos and flame
Knowing that nothing will ever be the same

Lightning and thunder, our magic collides
Darkness and brilliance tearing the skies
The ground is shaking beneath our feet
Two forces of nature that were never meant to meet
Your shadows are rising, my radiance burns
The world holds its breath as the battle turns
We were sisters in magic, now enemies sworn
In this clash of titans, a friendship is mourned

The light breaks through and your darkness falls
I catch you gently as your power stalls
Your eyes find mine and I see you again
The girl by the willow, my dearest friend

I hold you close as your breathing slows
My tears fall freely, the ending I chose
Your voice is a whisper, barely a sound
But these final words shake the battleground

You smile at me through your fading pain
Telling me we'll laugh together again
When we meet beyond this mortal veil
Where light and shadow no longer prevail

I hold you tighter as you slip away
The price of power you had to pay
My friend, my sister, now lost to time
I'll carry your memory, your hand in mine

The battle is over, the silence falls
But victory feels like nothing at all
