[Intro]
I never wore a crown
I never held a throne
I only traced the heavens
And walked the night alone

[Verse]
My hands were made for ink and light
For fragile maps in candlelight
Not swords that ring, not shields that break
Not wars that make the mountains shake
Yet every road I ever drew
Was leading me to something true
A line beyond the fear I knew
A door that only hope passed through

[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall before the morning
Let the map fall from my hand
But let the stars remember
I tried to understand

[Chorus]
This is Arian's oath
I will carry the flame
Through the shadow and storm
I will call every name
Not a king, not a saint
Only one heart of light
This is Arian's oath
I will stand for the night

[Verse]
I saw my home beneath the grey
I saw the dragons fade away
I heard the forest hold its breath
I saw a crown that tasted death
But in the dark where terrors rise
I found the road behind the skies
And if my fear still walks with me
Then courage means I still go free

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the thief command the thunder
Let him tear the heavens wide
I have friends beside my sorrow
I have stars to guide my stride

[Chorus]
This is Arian's oath
I will carry the flame
Through the shadow and storm
I will call every name
Not a king, not a saint
Only one heart of light
This is Arian's oath
I will stand for the night

[Solo]

[Bridge]
Every path begins unseen
Every legend starts afraid
Every dawn was once a dream
Every light was once remade

[Chorus]
This is Arian's oath
I will carry the flame
Through the shadow and storm
I will call every name
Not a king, not a saint
Only one heart of light
This is Arian's oath
I will stand for the night

[Outro]
I never wore a crown
But I can bring one home
