I'd make the same choice, hand on my chest, Even knowing this is what's left! I saved a thousand, lost just one— Myself, the only casualty of what I've done! [Final Chorus] I took the deal, I broke the pact There's no undoing what I've backed My soldiers live, and that's the truth I hold Even if my own name feels cold I don't regret the war I won I only mourn the woman I've become [Outro] The banners rise, my people cheer And no one asks what I left here #EpicMusic #CinematicMusic #OrchestralMusic #DarkFantasyMusic #FemaleVocalMusic #EpicBattleMusic #MythologyMusic #DarkOrchestral
