Madness

Описание: “Madness” captures the moment when the threat finally clarifies.

After witnessing Roc’Dena take the life of a god, Xazaran explains what she has always known but never stayed to see: the end state. Not the casting. Not the mechanics. The result. A god erased, a multiverse permanently cursed, and a silence that spreads outward forever.

The dagger Droven wields is not simply powerful. It is unstable by design. It contains the essences of hundreds of former Horsemen — wills, instincts, perspectives, and methods compressed into a single artifact. Roc’Dena was never meant to be carried or executed by one mind. It normally requires multiple Horsemen to divide the burden of intent and consequence.

The dagger removes that safeguard.

According to Xazaran, the danger is not that the dagger overwhelms its wielder. It doesn’t seize control or force obedience. It teaches. It aligns. It refines decision-making until hesitation feels like weakness and mercy feels inefficient.

That is what Kira hears in Droven now.

Not rage.
Not grief.
Resolve.

This song is not about chaos or loss of control. It is about certainty becoming lethal. About hatred learning patience. About a mind being slowly convinced that it is correct before it ever questions itself.

Xazaran makes one thing clear: carrying the dagger for too long destroys the wielder completely. Even she could not do it without eventually losing herself. That realization reframes Droven’s actions — not as erratic escalation, but as calculated inevitability.

“Madness” lives in that realization.

They are no longer hunting a monster.
They are tracking conviction.

Lyrics

You speak like every step is set
Like every ending’s been reviewed

No shake in how you draw the line
Just outcomes calmly chosen through

You don’t sound angry
You don’t plead

You sound prepared
You sound agreed

Every word lands measured, neat
Like it was weighed before it fell

Not driven by impulse or fear
But something colder, trained, and held

I don’t hear chaos in your tone
I hear precision settling in

The kind of focus that convinces you
You’re right before you begin

It isn’t fury in your stare
It’s certainty without restraint

I see the madness in your logic
Clean, composed, and calmly bent

There’s madness in the calm you keep
In how you let the silence lead

Madness in deciding loss
Before you ask what’s guaranteed

There’s madness in your discipline
In how it sharpens every claim

Not screaming for blood or praise
Just proving pain remains

And you don’t flinch

You carry weight that never sleeps
A pressure set inside your mind

It doesn’t push
It doesn’t pull

It tells you when to realign

A hundred wills collapsed to one
No argument, no sound

You don’t hear conflict in the blade
You hear consensus locking down

Every choice comes quicker now
Every doubt gets shaved away

Because the madness isn’t breaking you
It’s teaching you how long to stay

This isn’t falling into dark
It’s stepping forward, eyes wide open

The madness lives inside the thought
That nothing here is broken

There’s madness in the control you wear
In how you spread it without strain

Madness in calling it balance
While everything else feels pain

There’s madness shaped like foresight
Filed smooth enough to trust

Not chaos tearing worlds apart
But patience grinding dust

She told me what it does to minds

Some power doesn’t seize the will
It teaches it to comply

Some weapons don’t demand obedience
They wait until you justify

Anything that carries hundreds of selves
Will eventually choose its own

Not screaming you into ruin
But convincing you you’re alone

There’s madness in how this feels right
In how it fits so clean

Madness in surviving long enough
To call this not obscene

I see madness behind the mercy
Behind every reason you keep

Because hatred without urgency
Is how madness learns to sleep

We’re not facing rage

We’re facing resolve

And the longer it thinks

The harder it is
To stop
