Between Blade and You

**[Verse 1]**

Steel beneath a velvet dress,

Eyes that hide no tenderness,

She walks where lesser hearts retreat,

With quiet thunder in her feet.

A silver promise, sharp and bright,

She guards her own through every fight,

No crown upon her head is worn,

Yet kingdoms listen when she's sworn.

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Don't mistake her silence for fear,

She's been standing strong for years,

When the world demands a sacrifice,

She'll pay the cost, but name the price.

**[Chorus]**

She won't bend, she won't break,

Every step is a choice she'll make,

For the ones she calls her own,

She'll turn a battlefield to stone.

Grace like fire, heart like steel,

Never showing what she feels,

If the night comes crashing through,

She'll stand between the blade and you.

**[Verse 2]**

Business deals beneath the moon,

Every move is measured soon,

A mother's heart behind the throne,

Protecting what she calls her own.

She knows the price that power takes,

She knows the promises it breaks,

But when the danger draws too near,

Her voice becomes the thing they fear.

**[Bridge]**

No angel came to save the day,

No hero showed them where to stay,

So she became the shield instead,

With every warning left unsaid.

**[Final Chorus]**

She won't bend, she won't break,

Every step is a choice she'll make,

For the ones she calls her own,

She'll turn a battlefield to stone.

Grace like fire, heart like steel,

A hidden warmth she won't reveal,

And when the final echoes fade,

She'll still be standing unafraid.
