When the Dark Went Silent

Lyrics

The battlefield is breathing smoke and ash,
Gods and monsters, broken glass.
I taste blood and salt and fear,
But none of it compares to this right here.

Your wings are torn, your heartbeat slow,
Stars dim where your laughter used to glow.
You always said you’d find a way,
But now the night won’t let you stay.

I learned to live because of you,
Learned how to hope, how to choose.
You promised me forevermore—
Don’t let forever end on this floor.

No—
You don’t get to leave me in the dark,
Not after you became my spark.
The world can burn, the gods can bleed,
But I can’t breathe if you don’t breathe.
I’ll break the sky, I’ll beg the throne,
I’ll trade my soul, my flesh, my bones.
You said we’d face the end as one—
So wake up, Rhys.
I’m not done.

I feel the bond go thin, then still,
A silence sharper than any kill.
The stars you carry slip from sight,
And the night loses its High Lord’s light.

I remember Velaris at dawn,
Painted smiles, the hurt you’d worn.
You died a thousand times for me—
I won’t accept this being the last.

You taught me love is not a cage,
Not a crown, not a gilded stage.
You gave me choice, you gave me air—
So don’t you dare leave me here.

No—
You don’t get to fade to black,
Not after every scar we cracked.
I crossed hell just to come back whole,
I won’t survive losing your soul.
I’ll scream at fate, I’ll curse the sun,
I’ll tear the heavens one by one.
You are my home, my truth, my flame—
So breathe again.
Say my name.

If love is power, then feel mine now,
Every promise, every vow.
I am made of what you gave—
Light and dark and fierce and brave.

I’ll kneel to no one, beg no god,
But I will bleed if that’s the cost.
I choose you—hear me, stay—
The world needs you.
I need you.
Stay.

You don’t get to die for me,
Not when I finally learned to be.
Not when tomorrow waits our name,
Not when love is worth this pain.
I’ll pull you back from death’s embrace,
I’ll hold the night, I’ll take your place.
We are more than what they’ve done—
Come back to me.
Come back, my love.

The stars hold their breath with me,
Waiting for you to believe—
That even death can’t sever
What we swore would last forever
