Come Stand Before Me

Описание: After centuries of indirect war, Kira finally reaches the point where avoidance is no longer possible.

This song captures the moment when every delayed consequence, every misdirected collapse, and every carefully engineered silence converges into a single location. Droven never sought to defeat her outright. Instead, he exploited restraint, patience, and the spaces she chose not to occupy—turning distance into a weapon and time into cover.

Kira follows the trail backward. Patterns once dismissed as aftermath sharpen into intent. Every fractured world, every manipulated collapse, becomes proof of design rather than coincidence.

This is not a declaration of victory.

It is an acknowledgment that the pursuit is over.

Kira arrives knowing the meeting was planned by both of them—but only one side truly understands what is about to be unleashed. Droven wanted her to find him. He wanted her close. He wanted witnesses.

What he underestimated was that Kira does not arrive alone, and she does not arrive unchanged.

This song stands at the threshold between confidence and catastrophe—the calm before a revelation that will redefine the war itself.

Lyrics

I followed the fractures you left behind
The careful delays, the staggered time
Every silence pointed the same way
Every shadow bent when I named the shape

You hid in the space I chose not to claim
Let the smoke settle, let memory fade
But patterns don’t rot, they sharpen instead
And I don’t forget what I haven’t said

No more margins
No more mist
Every step
Leads to this

Come stand before me
No space left to run
Come stand before me
This long road’s done

Come stand before me
No delay, no plea
Come stand before me
Look at what you made of me

You thought restraint meant I’d stay blind
Thought mercy would slow my stride
You measured distance like it was defense
Counted on patience to dull my sense

But every world you scarred taught me more
Every quiet loss sharpened the score
You never faced me, that much is true
You just made damn sure I’d come to you

No more angles
No disguise
Every road
Ends tonight

Come stand before me
No space left to run
Come stand before me
This long road’s done

Come stand before me
No delay, no plea
Come stand before me
You wanted this to be seen

I didn’t chase
I aligned

I didn’t rush
I took my time

Every move
You thought you owned
Walked you straight
Back to the throne

Come stand before me
No shield, no flame
Come stand before me
Say my name

Come stand before me
The count is clear
Come stand before me
I’m already here

You planned the meeting
Every breath, every scar

Just one thing you missed

I don’t arrive alone
And I don’t arrive unmarked
