“After the Final Stand”

#symphonicmetal #gothicmetal ‪@JohnTheodorou‬ The ground still hums with broken hymns, Ashes float like names on the wind. Moonfire fades along my veins, Just quiet sparks and phantom flames. The banners lie in tattered rows, Blood-red threads on fallen snow. I taste the smoke of all we’ve burned, For every dawn that won’t return. I hear the Guardians in the silence, Every vow they swore for me. Their echoes stitched in ruined stone, A choir of ghosts around my feet. After the final stand, when the steel has left my hand, And the war drums drown in distant sand… I’m counting every shadow by the names I can’t say again, Every star another absent friend. We saved the world from breaking, but I broke along the way— I’m the price Elaris had to pay After the final stand. The Echo Children sleep at last, Their trembling threads no longer cracked. The relic’s whisper fades to glass, No more futures folding back. The Veil-Moon hangs in wounded light, A scar across the thawing night. I walk the path of shattered shields, Through fields that won’t forget this field. I hear my mother in the quiet, Seraphiel behind the veil— Her fractured voice in shards of time, “Live, my child, and tell the tale.” After the final stand, when the steel has left my hand, And the war drums drown in distant sand… I’m counting every shadow by the names I can’t say again, Every star another absent friend. We saved the world from breaking, but I broke along the way— I’m the price Elaris had to pay After the final stand. If I close my eyes, I see them— Guardians in Moonfire rain, Laughing in a time before the ruin, Calling out my mortal name. Every blade that rose beside me, Every shield that met the storm, Now they’re constellations carved In scars along my arms. I am the Echo Queen, but I Would give my crown of ash and light To hear them breathing one more time In this forgiven night. [Breakdown – whispered/spoken] “Sleep now, my city… Rest now, my choir of bones… For all that you gave me, I’ll carry you home.” After the final stand, I am trembling where I stand, But I’ll hold this fractured, healing land. I’m naming every shadow till the dawn can speak again, Till the fallen learn to rise as wind. We saved the world from breaking—now I learn to live again, Walking through the ruins hand in hand With ghosts that understand. After the final stand… I’m still here to bear the brand, Elaris breathing softly in my hands After the final stand. Moonfire threads go dim but never die, They sleep like embers in the sky. And if tomorrow asks what brought us here, I’ll answer with their names And every fallen tear.
