Night splits like an oath on stone. Wind carries names the dark has grown. Footprints burn where doubt once lay. I lift the flame and cut away. Whispers circle hungry mouths. Let them choke on smoke and vows. I am the torch of the mountain. Bright against the storm. Fire
in the marrow. Truth in living form. Shadows break and scatter when I call them by their name. Torch of the mountain. And I walk the ridge in flame. Mask after mask falls off the night. Echoes confess beneath the light. Rope of rumor, thread of lies. I pull it once and watch it die. Silence holds the
higher ground. Hear the iron of my sound. I am the torch of the mountain. Bright against the storm. Fire in the marrow. Truth in living form. Nothing in the valley can unmake what I became. Torch of the mountain. I crown the ridge with flame. Let the night keep its stories.
