Lyrics
Intro - Quiet acoustic guitar and organ]
[Verse 1]
I found him in the dust and stone
Blood upon the autumn ground
His eyes were turned toward the fading sun
No breath, no voice, no sound
The world went cold and still that day
All color drained to grey
And something broke inside my chest
That won't be whole again
[Chorus]
I carry now this burning vow
Written deep in crimson fire
Every name, every face
Will answer to desire
The scales must balance in the end
Though my soul be the cost
I'll walk this road of ash and bone
'Til every debt is crossed
[Verse 2]
I track them through the faithless towns
From tavern door to door
Their laughter dies when I arrive
They've seen this face before
The first one begged, the second ran
The third one tried to fight
But vengeance moves with certain steps
Through the endless night
[Chorus]
I carry now this burning vow
Written deep in crimson fire
Every name, every face
Will answer to desire
The scales must balance in the end
Though my soul be the cost
I'll walk this road of ash and bone
'Til every debt is crossed
[Bridge - Heavy guitars and choir enter]
(Blood for blood!)
The reckoning comes swift and sure
(Blood for blood!)
No mercy lives here anymore
(Blood for blood!)
I am the storm, I am the blade
(Blood for blood!)
I am the price that must be paid
[Guitar solo with organ - 30 seconds]
[Outro - Quieter, reflective]
Now silence fills these empty hands
The fury's burned away
What remains when rage is spent?
Just dust and yesterday
I stand above the final grave
The vow at last complete
But Father, tell me what I've won—
This hollow victory?
[Instrumental fade - violin and organ]
