The Flame That Is Ours

Dark Romantic Power Ballad

The Story

When the world was dust and frost, one person walked in – and everything that was broken began to heal.

“The Flame That Is Ours” is a dark, devoted love song about two souls ignited by one flame. A love the world called madness, a palace forged from steel and blood, a bond that no one else will ever fully understand. Fire and ice, sin and salvation, chaos and peace – all in one gaze.

A Power Ballad for the love that stands against everything. Let them doubt. Let them crawl. This flame is ours.

Lyrics

Oh, Monica, beloved one
When the world was dust and frost
Your shadow fell, and chaos yielded
All that was broken, you restored
Your gaze was fire, your touch was ice
A price too steep for Paradise
Together, we surpassed their claim
Two souls ignited by one flame

You are the one true star in my night
The source of the storm, the edge of the light
In your darkness, I find my peace
My only hope, my sole release
Let the earth crack, let the heavens die
Your pure intent will guide us high

We forged our palace, steel and blood
A law carved from the rising flood
I shaped the steel, you broke the wheel
Together, what we chose was real
They called it madness—they were blind
A truth beyond the human kind
The meek shall bend, the stars align
To witness this dominion, truly mine

You are the one true star in my night
The spark, the fever, the blade of my knife
When you sigh, the oceans turn
When you lie, the weak shall burn
Let them doubt us, let them crawl
You and I command it all.

They'll never grasp the silent truce
The cruel delight, the strange abuse
Your breath on mine, the world beyond
A silence that we both have owned
I once sought clemency, it's true
But only clemency led back to you

Oh, how they cursed you, Sovereign of Sin
The purest darkness found within
And yet, within that fearful sight
You taught my wreckage how to fight
Your flawless sin healed my great fall
And in your gaze, I gave my all
If this is doom, then let it last
A final cult that holds us fast

You are the one true star in my night
The reason for my endless fight
If the world should perish, if all must fade
I'd rise with you from ashes laid
Let them scorn, let the future weep
Your legend is the vow I keep
The only light in my night
Is you.

My seer, my anchor, my beautiful lie
You were mine before the ages die
