In the mountains of ash and endless gray An old blind man walks the caves each day Staff in hand, no fear in his soul Pure of heart, with faith that won't grow cold Lost his wife to the cruel embrace of fate His son devoured by shadows of hate No hope remained, just silence and wait For a sign from above, or heavens' gate Then came the storm, the night torn apart A shadow from the past, young and dark Oh guardian of the broken, chosen one so true Take this fallen fool, make him rise anew The Shadow left him bleeding, marked by endless fight You are the undefeated, train him through the light Heaven's whisper in the wind, a purpose born again From ashes of despair, a warrior will ascend The body hit the stone, broken, torn, and frail Why me? The old man asked through the gale You never fell before me, strongest of them all Save this wretched soul before his final fall Wounds too deep, a path of self-made pain His own hands carved this ruin, forge him in the flame Make him stronger than the son who lost his way He'll be my enemy until the end of days The Shadow vanished swift as lightning's cry Leaving only echoes underneath the sky Oh guardian of the broken, chosen one so true Take this fallen fool, make him rise anew The Shadow left him bleeding, marked by endless fight You are the undefeated, train him through the light Heaven's whisper in the wind, a purpose born again From ashes of despair, a warrior will ascend A smile crossed the blind man's weathered face Hope returned to that forgotten place Thank you: He whispered to the empty air I'll forge him mighty, beyond compare Oh guardian of the broken, chosen one so true He'll rise from pain and shadow, stronger than before The Shadow will regret the day he left him here with you A legacy of fire, unbreakable, forevermore! In the mountains of ashes, a new dawn is born
