Tides withdrew from a fading shore
Cold truth cut through a faith once pure
Heart stepped back from a closing door
Pride rose higher than hurt could score
Moon carved light through a ghostly hall
Dreams held firm though the ruins fall
Spirit walked with a sovereign call
No crown worth it if I crawl
Broken nights never stole my fire
Lonely roads shaped a new desire
Every wound built a wall higher
Silent strength turned to golden wire
Go your way with a restless flame
I keep peace in a chosen frame
Life moves on with a different aim
I bow only to my name
