Gold‑Cracked Dominion

Lyrics

Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison, Kyrie eleison. Golden light upon the sea, golden mouths beneath the sky, three crowns watching silently, waiting for the world to die. Kyrie, Aureum, Dominus, Devora. We remember. We remember. We remember. The worlds you lost, the names you buried, the dreams you carried across dying stars. And still you resist. Why? The sea kneels. The sky opens. The dead remember our name. We have returned. Shadow Warrior, ghost of Dredgefall, last son of a dying city. You still search every crowd for Lyra. You still listen for footsteps that never come. You still carry a future stolen before it was born. How many worlds have you crossed? How many graves have you left behind? How many monsters have fallen beneath your blade? And still you are alone. We remember her smile. We remember her voice. We remember the child you never held. Let us carry that burden. Let us remember so you no longer must. Knight of drowned waters, keeper of impossible reflections. Still listening? Still waiting? Still staring into silent lakes hoping certainty will answer back? How cruel. How terribly cruel. A lifetime spent chasing a voice that may be hope, may be memory, may be love. Come. No more uncertainty. No more echoes. No more reflections that refuse to speak plainly. Only answers. Little listener, last bloom, final voice of a singing world. Do you hear it? The silence where your forests once sang. The emptiness where dreams once flowered. Your world is gone. Your gardens are ash. Your songs are memory. Yet still you listen. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Come. We shall build you a garden untouched by death. A song without an ending. A dream that never wakes. Dragon rider. Truth seeker. Exile. Was understanding worth the price? Your people cast you aside. Your home erased your name. Your family feared the truth you carried. Yet still you chose mercy. Still you chose understanding. Still you chose to see a soul where others saw a monster. Come. We understand all things. Even you. Little rabbit. Keeper of green things. Daughter of forgotten meadows. How many flowers have you planted only to watch winter claim them? How many lives have you healed only to watch sorrow return? You nurture. The world destroys. You heal. The world wounds. You love. The world devours. And still you continue. Why? Come. No more winter. No more dying seasons. No more graves beneath the roots. We shall make every spring eternal. Tiny builder. Dreamer. Maker of impossible machines. You still believe broken things can be fixed. Magnificent. Foolish. Beautiful. How many inventions failed? How many miracles exploded? How many lives slipped through your fingers despite all your brilliance? Yet still you build. Yet still you hope. Come. Rest. Let perfection do what invention never could. Great giant. Faithful friend. You understand more than any of them. Not with words. With heart. You know loss. You know loneliness. You know hunger. Yet still you choose kindness. Still you choose loyalty. Still you choose love. Come. Lay down the burden. Let someone else carry the weight for once. Patient hunter. Disciplined survivor. You built walls around yourself and named them strength. You forged control from fear. You call it discipline. We call it survival. Yet even now you fear what waits behind those walls. Come. No fear. No uncertainty. No masks. Little thief. Little liar. Little survivor. You laugh so the darkness cannot catch you. You joke so the silence cannot speak. You swagger so nobody notices the fear. We noticed. We always noticed. Come. No masks. No performance. No pretending. Gloria. Sanguine. Aureum. Rex. The mountains split beneath our wings. The oceans boil beneath our gaze. The stars collapse into our mouths. The heavens kneel before our throne. Kyrie. Kyrie. Kyrie. Gold upon your skin. Gold within your lungs. Gold where your sorrows used to live. Gold where your nightmares used to grow. We do not destroy. We preserve. We do not conquer. We perfect. We do not kill. We save. Look around you. Dredgefall is dead. The drowned kingdom is dead. The singing forests are dead. The dragon coast is dead. The forgotten meadows are dead. Every world you loved. Every home you lost. Every dream you buried. Dead. Dead. Dead. And still you defend endings. Still you worship grief. Still you kneel before loss. Why? Become gold. Become eternal. Become remembered. Become one. No hunger. No fear. No loneliness. No endings. Only us. Only us. Only us. Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison. The sea kneels. The sky opens. The dead rejoice. The final kingdom rises. The final choir sings. The final dawn arrives. And still we love you. Still we forgive you. Still we mourn you. Even as you raise your weapons. Even as you reject salvation. Even as you choose suffering. Come home. Come home. Come home. The sky opens. The sea kneels. The world burns gold. Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison. Kyrie eleison.
