Lyrics

"Voice of the Silver Flame"
Yves Stilmant © 2025

[Verse 1a]
I rose when thunder split the sky,
From mountains carved in days gone by.
The stars once whispered me to life--
A silver oath to end all strife.
[Verse 1b]
They feared the fire I never cast,
A shadow tethered to the past.
But in my chest, the light still burns,
For every soul the dark has turned.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not the storm, I'm what remains--
A shield that stands through loss and flame.
[Chorus]
I am Arakai, the silver flame,
A name they sing but can't contain.
Wings wide open over cries,
I guard the hope they can't disguise.
My heart is bound to every cry--
I fly for them... I'll always rise.
[Verse 2a]
I've watched the kings who rose and fell,
Fought wars the bards forgot to tell.
But still I soar through shattered skies,
To keep the last of truth alive.
[Verse 2b]
I could've vanished long ago,
A myth beneath the ice and snow.
But legends live when love still calls--
So I remain when empires fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not the end, I'm what survives--
The echo in a world that strives.
[Chorus]
I am Arakai, the silver flame,
No curse, no crown will stake their claim.
Over towers lost and time's disguise,
I shield the weak beneath the lies.
Their stories light my endless flight--
I burn for them... I'll always rise.
[Bridge]
Call me monster, call me ghost--
I carry those who need me most.
Not for glory, not for pride,
But for the child too small to hide.
[Double Chorus]
I am Arakai, the silver flame,
Their silent vow, their sacred name.
Across dimensions, death, and time,
My breath defends the last divine.
I fly for love, I fight for grace--
Their silent guardian in space.
I am Arakai...
I am their flame.

[Outro]
And when the stars forget my name,
They'll still be safe...
within my flame.
