On that day, if places reversed Would I have your life, would you have mine? A coin between us, turning through time One vow to master, one vow to find They write me small, forgotten and still Pride slips loose, I miss the thrill Names turn sand inside my fist A quiet tempter calls, I don’t resist Let me fall all the way down Write me in ash, not in a crown Take every ladder out of my sight I’ll learn the floor before I rise Walls of reason, soft decay A thousand lessons, stripped away Each choice a gate I overstep The steel remembers what I forget The mirror hums, but not for me One blade sleeps, the other bleeds A shadow born of borrowed pride Chasing echoes I left behind Let me fall all the way down Write me in ash, not in a crown Take every ladder out of my sight I’ll learn the floor before I rise (I rise) Catharsis as armor, ledgers run dry Burden to blade, I sharpen the why Pattern rewired, the lines recut A devil in red fades from the cut Blue discipline steadies the hand Sheath–draw timing splits the span Call down the still world into lines Let the divide decide what binds Cast me your gravity, I carve it to flight Veil me in darkness, I’ll turn it to fright All that resisted sharpened the edge World marks the line, I break the pledge Old names flake, the newer stay Azure ribbon shows the way Sigils align where choices meet I count from zero, clean, discrete (Ledgers are closed, the debt is dust) (Steps fall in order, I keep the trust) (The brother of blaze recedes from view) (Calm as a verdict, I am now redrew) Cast me your gravity, I carve it to flight Veil me in darkness, I’ll turn it to fright All that resisted sharpened the edge World marks the line, I break the pledge (Summon the silence, let time unfold) (Draw from the void, I make mercy cold) (Every division, a promise is shut) (I am the balance) Let the judgment cut Judgment cut
