Two Paths in One Flame

Duel Disk waking up with a clean bright tone

Plastic light on my wrist like a promise I own

Duel Academy sunset, gold on the stone

I shuffle my cards, and I feel at home

I run down the hallway, bag on my back

Friends yelling my name, the world on track

A deck in my hands, a sky in my chest

Every Duel I jump in, I give it my best

Elemental HERO rising in the air

Neos in the distance, like a breath I can share

No crown on my head, just wind on my face

I play for the spark, not the finish line race

But sometimes the screen glow turns colder than night

A shadow in my voice, speaking under the light

Not a stranger, not a ghost, just a choice I denied

A quiet second heartbeat, waiting inside

I am the smile and I am the storm

I am the warmth and the edge of the form

Duel Academy taught me to stand with my team

But a Supreme King lives where the daylight can't reach

Same hands on the Duel Disk, same fire in my blood

Two roads in one destiny, drawn in the dust

If the cards can reflect me, then I can face me

Both of these voices are still me

Now the sky is a ceiling of ash and slow flame

No cheering, no color, only purpose and name

I do not chase joy, I measure the cost

I rule what remains, so nothing is lost

Darkness wears my cloak like a perfectly fit crown

Every step is silent, every doubt put down

I win because I must, not because it feels right

A kingdom of embers, held tight through the night

And somewhere in the heat, like a thread I can't sever

Yubel says nothing, but pulls me forever

I tell myself, this is how I protect

Cut away the tremble, keep only effect

Yet I hear that old laughter, faint through the steel

And I miss what it meant, to Duel and to feel

I am the grin in the morning light

I am the king in the flame at night

Elemental HERO in my open hand

Supreme King in the shadow where I learned to stand
