One More Dawn

Song: One More Dawn Artist: SHADOWFORGE MUSIC Lyrics: Why does he fight, When he can finally rest from duty? Why does he carry the weight alone, When no one asks him to anymore? The war has faded from the maps, The banners no longer wave. The world he bled to keep alive Has almost forgotten his name. The sword beside him gathers dust, The scars have learned to heal. He could close his tired eyes... And never lift the blade again. But somewhere a child still cries. Somewhere hope is growing thin. He hears the call that others don't... And quietly stands again. They ask him, "Why keep fighting? Haven't you given enough?" He smiles through all the silence, Though every breath is rough. "I don't fight because I have to. I fight because I can. If my strength can spare one soul, Then that's where I'll make my stand." He dreams of peaceful mornings, Of watching seasons slowly change. Of living like an ordinary man, Untouched by fear or pain. But peace is more than something found. It's something people keep. Sometimes it asks for one more soul To lose another night of sleep. Duty no longer holds these chains. No king commands his hand. No prophecy, no throne, no crown... Only the choice to stand. Perhaps tomorrow someone else Will rise to bear the flame. Until that day arrives... He'll answer. Again. So why does he fight, When he can finally rest from duty? Because love is louder than exhaustion. Because hope is stronger than despair. Because someone once stood for him... And now it's his turn To stand for someone else. One day he'll lay his sword to rest. Not because he grew tired... But because the world no longer needs him to fight. And when that dawn finally comes... He'll smile... Knowing he kept his promise
