Verse 1:
In the shadows where I tread,
Armor strong, yet heart is lead.
With my sword, my fate I carve,
But your gaze? It makes me starve.
Chorus:
Oh, Heart of Stone, I will not bend,
A warrior forged, not made to mend.
But every night, in the moonlight's gleam,
I find myself lost in a foolish dream.
Verse 2:
I was raised on tales of fight,
Held my ground ‘neath the battlefield's light.
Yet you, a flower in a castle high,
Make me wish to be the one to fly.
Chorus:
Oh, Heart of Stone, can’t you see?
I’m just a guard, not meant to be free.
But every laugh in your soothing voice,
Makes my stubborn heart give in to choice.
Bridge:
Daydreams haunt the edges of night,
What if I let love be my fight?
A warrior's life seems all I know,
But with you, my heart's willing to grow.
Verse 3:
You dance among lords, I stand aside,
In silk and grace, no place for pride.
But when the sun falls and shadows glow,
I find myself dreaming of you, you know.
Chorus:
Oh, Heart of Stone, can’t you see?
I’m just a guard, not meant to be free.
But every laugh in your soothing voice,
Makes my stubborn heart give in to choice.
Outro:
So here I stand, a rock unyielding,
A heart of stone, but slowly yielding.
For in this battle of sword and fate,
I find I’d fight for love, it's never too late.
