Skelderheim - "Charles Mandrake and the Resonance Array" Title Track

Описание: A quiet life ends the moment a choice is made.

Charles Mandrake follows three teenagers who uncover a hidden observatory, a sealed portal, and a world that should not exist. On the other side lies Skelderheim, a medieval city bound by ancient rules, fragile alliances, and a role no one can refuse.

This song is the title track inspired by the book, capturing Anna’s journey from an ordinary girl into the Orra-Kai—the one who must stand when others cannot, and bear the cost so others may live.

The music reflects the heart of the story: sacrifice, responsibility, and the moment where there is no turning back.

LYRICS:

I used to move like a shadow does,
Quiet steps, eyes down, breathe slow.
Kept my voice where it never was,
Let the loud world pass and go.
Then the sky went dark at noon,
And the city learned my face.
Every promise came too soon,
Every road became a place.

They don’t see the nights I break,
They don’t feel the fear I hide.
One hand on the flame I take,
One foot still on the other side.

Say the name I didn’t know, Wear the weight, don’t let it show.
If I fall, I fall in shame, If I stand, I stand alone.
Skelderheim, hear my vow tonight, I won’t run from the firefight.
I was a Girl on the road, Now I step into the unknown.

Every street has eyes of steel,
Every door remembers blood.
But I learned what’s true is real,
Not the stories fear has spun.
I’ve seen love turn into law,
I’ve seen hope held like a blade.
And I hate what I still want,
And I can’t unmake what’s made.

I’m not ready, I’m not sure,
But the flame won’t take “not yet.”
So I breathe and I endure,
And I pay the honest debt.

Guitar SOLO

Say the name I didn’t know, Wear the weight, don’t let it show.
If I fall, I fall in shame, If I stand, I stand alone.
Skelderheim, hear my vow tonight, I won’t run from the firefight.
I was Anna on the road, Now I step into the unknown.

I feel the old life tug at my sleeve, Like a tide that wants me back.
But there’s a line I won’t unsee, And a door I won’t unlatch.
Let them doubt me, let them stare, Let the hunters crowd the gate.
I won’t hand this world my fear, I will stand for you.

Say the name I didn’t know, Wear the weight, don’t let it show.
If I fall, I fall in shame, If I stand, I stand alone.
Skelderheim, hear my vow tonight, I won’t run from the firefight.
I was a girl on the road, Now I'm still the unknown.

Now I step into the unknown.
