I walk alone beneath the stars I guard

A thousand worlds behind this flame-scarred heart

Duty’s weight is carved in gold and steel

But I don’t know how to say what I feel

I keep it all inside

Like fire I must hide

Afraid of what might spark

If I let down my guard

These walls of fire, I built them high

To keep the storm locked deep inside

But in the silence, I still burn

For a voice, a friend, a bridge to learn

That even flames can yearn for more

Than duty’s crown and endless war

They see a warrior, calm and still

But inside rages a willful will

To scream, to cry, to laugh out loud

But I’ve been trained to fear the crowd

Emotions feed the flame

So I don't speak my name

Just stand in shadows tall

Afraid to ever fall

These walls of fire, I built them high

To keep the storm locked deep inside

But in the silence, I still burn

For a hand to hold, a twist, a turn

Where someone sees behind the flare

And finds the soul that’s hidden there

[Bridge] (soft, whispered)

Maybe one day I’ll let someone see

That behind the blaze…

There’s more to me

[Final Chorus] (rising and powerful)

These walls of fire, they start to crack

And I feel the warmth I’ve long held back

Not weakness now—this heart, it dares

To trust, to try, to say: I care

A spark alone is still desire

But love… love is the greater fire
