[Intro]
Ooooh, shadows callin’ my name…
Runnin’ through the fire, but I’m lost in the rain…
I wear my armor, but it don’t hide the pain,
‘Cause love cuts deeper than the blood in my veins…

(Beat drops: 808s + alternative rock guitars enter.)

[Verse 1]
Heavy steel on my chest, but my heart stays exposed,
Riding through the battlefield, haunted by your ghost.
Blood on my hands, but the war ain't done,
Every sword that I swing, still fightin’ for the one.

Golden hair in the moonlight, soft like a prayer,
I held you close, but fate wasn’t fair.
Castles and towers, love on the throne,
But a knight’s road is cold when he’s ridin’ alone.

[Chorus]
Ooooh, my heart is wrapped in armor,
But for you, I drop the sword.
Ooooh, roses bloom where battles thunder,
Love’s the only war worth fightin’ for.

(Instrumental break: guitars and synths swell for emotional effect.)

[Verse 2]
I left my helmet on the ground, feel the weight of the crown,
Lost kings, dead dreams, still I hold it down.
Flowers in my hands but the petals turn black,
Every war that I fought, I just wanna come back.

They told me love’s weak, but they never held you,
A knight with no queen is a king that’s untrue.
I built these walls, but you tore 'em apart,
Now I'm standin’ in ruins with a rose in my heart.

(Beat intensifies, guitar riffs build tension.)

[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, was it all for nothin’?
Shadows whisper when the stars stop burnin’!
I would trade my blade for a night in your arms,
But a knight never rests when he’s covered in scars!

[Chorus]
Ooooh, my heart is wrapped in armor,
But for you, I drop the sword.
Ooooh, roses bloom where battles thunder,
Love’s the only war worth fightin’ for.

[Outro]
So here I stand, on the edge of the fight,
A soldier in love with a queen in the night.
Lay down my shield, let the echoes fade,
Armor and roses, I die in your name.

(Fade-out: acoustic guitar and ambient synths, last whispering echoes.)
