I carved a path through shadow’s maze,
I faced the Stranger’s wicked gaze.
I swore that I would fight, would win,
But now the walls are closing in.
The air turns sharp, the ground won’t hold,
The darkness whispers, cruel and cold.
Each step I take, the harder it feels,
As doubt and fear sink in like steel.
"I had a plan, I had the key,
I thought I’d fight, I’d set us free.
But every move, he twists the game,
And every step ignites the flame."
Everybody has a plan,
Until the blow, until it lands.
A storm of pain, a sudden fall,
The taste of blood, the Stranger’s call.
Everybody has a plan,
Until you’re caught in shadow’s hand.
But I won’t break, I’ll stand, I’ll fight,
Through shattering dark, I’ll find the light.
The Stranger laughed, his voice a knife,
"Did you believe you’d claim this life?
You’re but a pawn in chaos’ tide,
A foolish spark, a fleeting pride."
He showed me glimpses of the end,
Of shattered realms I couldn’t mend.
"My power’s endless, yours is dust.
Surrender now, accept, adjust."
The plan I had was swept away,
A fragile hope consumed by grey.
But deep inside, a fire burns,
Through every twist, through every turn.
Everybody has a plan,
Until the blow, until it lands.
A storm of pain, a sudden fall,
The taste of blood, the Stranger’s call.
Everybody has a plan,
Until you’re caught in shadow’s hand.
But I won’t break, I’ll stand, I’ll fight,
Through shattering dark, I’ll find the light.
The room spins fast, the visions flare,
My mind is trapped, a snare laid bare.
The Stranger’s form, a looming shape,
His voice a venom I can’t escape.
"You think you’re brave, you think you’re strong,
But every step you’ve taken’s wrong.
This curse, this throne, it’s mine to keep,
So kneel, or fall to shadow’s deep."
I fell, I bled, my spirit torn,
But from despair, defiance born.
"You think I’ll yield, you think I’ll run,
But this is far from being done."
I rose, though broken, bruised, and weak,
Through gritted teeth, I learned to speak:
"You’ll never win, you’ll never bind,
The fire burns within my mind."
No plan survives the battle’s tide,
But hope can’t die, and neither will I.
You knock me down, I’ll rise once more,
The fight’s not done, there’s still a war.
Everybody has a plan,
Until the blow, until it lands.
A storm of pain, a sudden fall,
The taste of blood, the Stranger’s call.
Everybody has a plan,
Until you’re caught in shadow’s hand.
But I won’t break, I’ll stand, I’ll fight,
Through shattering dark, I’ll find the light.
Each wound, each scar, a lesson learned,
Through pain, my rage, my power burned.
The Stranger smirks, but I won’t bow,
My strength is here, it’s mine, it’s now.
The plan is gone, the game’s gone wild,
But still I stand, defiant child.
Through broken hope and endless night,
I’ll forge a way, I’ll claim the fight.
Everybody has a plan,
Until the blow, until it lands.
But plans can change, and hearts can burn,
I’ll fight, I’ll win, the tide will turn.
