Lyric

Sunlight dancing on the cobblestone

Wiping the sweat, I was standing alone

But then I caught your eyes, so fierce and bright

A single petal falling in the light

We didn’t need a thousand words to say

You stole my heart and took my breath away

Ten beautiful years walking down this street

No children to hold, but our lives were complete

"As long as you're here, I need nothing more"

That was the promise we made by the door

Oh, I thought this melody would never end

My lover, my home, my absolute best friend

I swore to be the shield that keeps you safe

A simple vow in our sunlit place

Yeah, a simple vow in our sunlit place

Shadows fell upon the White Tiger Hall

Framed by the greedy, I was destined to fall

This wooden collar heavy on my chest

But the thought of your danger is what hurts the best

To keep you breathing, I must let you go

I sign the paper in the freezing snow

"Forget my name, find a brand new dawn"

You beg and you cry, but the line is drawn

Oh, I tear away the hands that pull me near

My soul is shattering, but the choice is clear!

I sever the thread of our woven fate

Leaving you behind at the exile gate

Leaving you behind in the freezing hate

A letter finds me in the mountain rain

You took your own life to escape their pain!

Why did you stay so brutally true?!

My foolish mercy only ruined you!

Hear me now, heaven! Hear the Panther’s cry!

I’ll make the corrupt and the wicked die!

The winter peony, forever asleep

I’ll paint the snow red, a promise I’ll keep

My blade will sing for the love we lost

I’ll burn this empire, no matter the cost
