Blood oath

(Distant thunder. Eight slow heartbeats.)

MELIKA (Whisper):

Before the crown…

Before the throne…

There were eight of us.

MEMBER 2:

Eight different scars.

ALL (Whisper):

One night.

(Deep bass rises.)

MELIKA:

And one oath.

⸻

[VERSE 1]

MEMBER 1:

I came from a place where the lights burned low

Walking through the dark with nowhere to go

MEMBER 2:

I had a voice, but nobody heard

So I learned to speak without saying a word

MEMBER 3:

I followed the moon through a city of gray

Searching for someone who could show me the way

MEMBER 4:

Then I saw eight shadows crossing the line

Different hearts, but the same blood inside

⸻

[PRE-CHORUS]

MEMBER 5:

One by one, we found each other

MEMBER 6:

Strangers turning into sisters

MEMBER 7:

Every fear became our power

MEMBER 8:

Every scar became our armor

ALL:

We didn’t know what we’d become…

MELIKA:

Until the darkness called our name.

⸻

[CHORUS — ALL]

BLOOD OATH!

We made a promise in the dark

BLOOD OATH!

Eight flames, one beating heart

No matter where the night may lead

No matter what the world may say

We stand together, side by side

And never turn away

BLOOD OATH!

Written deeper than a name

BLOOD OATH!

Eight shadows born from the same flame

We weren’t born as VAMPIRES—

MELIKA:

We became them.

ALL:

BLOOD OATH!

⸻

[VERSE 2 — Formation Story]

MELIKA [RAP]:

First one came with a dream in her eyes

Second brought the fire she kept inside

Third had the courage, fourth had the fight

Five saw the future hiding in the night

Six brought the rhythm, seven brought the flame

Eight stood beside us and remembered the name

Different roads, different pasts, different ways to survive

But when we stood together—

ALL:

We came alive.

⸻

[PRE-CHORUS 2]

MEMBER 1:

They told us we were too different

MEMBER 2:

Too dangerous, too ambitious

MEMBER 3:

But every difference made us stronger

MEMBER 4:

And every voice made the chorus louder

MEMBER 5:

So we raised our hands—

[CHORUS — ALL]

BLOOD OATH!

We made a promise in the dark

BLOOD OATH!

Eight flames, one beating heart

No matter where the night may lead

No matter what the world may say

We stand together, side by side

And never turn away

BLOOD OATH!

Written deeper than a name

BLOOD OATH!

Eight shadows born from the same flame

We weren’t born as VAMPIRES—

MELIKA:

We became them.

ALL:

BLOOD OATH!

⸻

[BRIDGE — Storytelling / Emotional]

(Music almost completely disappears.)

MEMBER 8:

Do you remember the first night?

MEMBER 7:

When we didn’t know each other’s names?

MEMBER 6:

When all we had…

MEMBER 5:

Was a dream?

(Heartbeat.)

MEMBER 4:

Then one hand reached out.

MEMBER 3:

Then another.

MEMBER 2:

And another.

MEMBER 1:

Until there were eight.

(Silence.)

MELIKA:

We had nothing to inherit.

MELIKA [BUILDING]:

So we built our own kingdom.

ALL:

VAMPIRES!

(Bass drop.)

ALL:

ONE BLOOD!

ONE OATH!

ONE NAME!

⸻

[FINAL CHORUS — MAX ENERGY]

ALL:

BLOOD OATH!

We made a promise in the dark

BLOOD OATH!

Eight flames, one beating heart

From eight different roads we came

Now we’re standing in the same place

Eight voices, one destiny

Eight shadows, one name

MELIKA:

We weren’t born together—

MEMBER 1:

We found each other.

MELIKA:

We weren’t given a kingdom—

ALL:

WE BUILT IT!

ALL:

BLOOD OATH!

BLOOD OATH!

Eight flames, one beating heart

(Deep heartbeat.)

ALL:

Born in the dark…

Made to shine.
