Chosen lyrics

The sky grows dark, the air grows cold Two figures stand where fate is told One made of light, one wrapped in shadow The armies still, the world holds its breath below She takes my hand and says: You need to go Her eyes are calm but burning with a glow This is my fight, my burden, not your own I'll face the dark so you may still go on I hear my people calling out my name They pull me back, they shield me from the flame I let them lead me, stumbling, turning away And tell myself this isn't my battle today But something tears inside me like a broken chain I stop, I breathe, I turn and face the rain She wouldn't leave me, not for the world entire So I run back, I run back, into the fire I will not leave you standing in the storm I will not let the darkness take the one I swore To walk beside through every rise and fall You are my chosen, chosen above all Let the fates decide, let the heavens roar I'm not the one that prophecy was written for But you are mine and I am yours to keep I will not let you fade, I will not watch you sleep I break the line and there she stands alone His magic raining down like shattered bone She lifts her arms and meets him flash for flash And then the dark descends, a blinding crash She falls, she falls, the light goes from her hands He turns to me, the last who dares to stand But even as his power reaches out for me I raise my own and answer, let it be The world goes white, I feel the edges fray But through the smoke I hear her voice scream my name She rises, bloody, burning, will not stay down Two beams collide, two stars bring tyrants down I will not leave you standing in the storm I will not let the darkness take the one I swore To walk beside through every rise and fall You are my chosen, chosen above all Let the fates decide, let the heavens roar I'm not the one that prophecy was written for But you are mine and I am yours to keep I will not let you fade, I will not watch you sleep Silence falls where the thunder broke She lies in ash, I kneel in smoke I take her face into my hands and say I'm here, I'm here, don't go, don't fade away She opens her eyes, the barest breath of light A broken smile through all the dust and night She whispers softly, I hear every word The truest thing that I have ever heard They call me chosen, chosen of the stars But you chose me, through every wound and scar You chose to stay when all the world said run You are my chosen, not the stars, you are the one And the smoke gives way to morning light Her hand finds mine, her eyes arise I hold her close through fading night As the last of winter dies
