Call Me Arbiter - Arbiter's Grounds (Zelda)

Verse

Stone breath, ledger chest, I’m gatekeeper in the gloom

Flagstones remember footsteps that I file up in my tomb

Vines curl round the columns where the bells still ring at dusk

River under arches hums the law in water, rust and musk

Tapestries of dust tell tales of knights who broke and bowed

Carvings mark the verdicts written when the moon was loud

Ganondorf thought he could step to me he learned real quick I’m the big AG

Took his shadow off the map left his thunder for my registry

Pre-chorus

I hold the threshold I hold the code I keep the records tight

Ruins whisper, footsteps falter when I step into the light

Chorus

Call me Arbiter I run these Grounds I keep the scale aligned

Stone oath ledger and blade in hand I don’t unmake the line

Bring your crown bring your claim bring your blood and bring your plea

I read the name I mark the fate this ground remembers me

Verse

Crypts beneath the archways stash the echoes of the wars

Templates of the false and true are scored on chapel doors

I move like mortar grinding past the moonlit, salted stone

Each verdict like a bell that tolls for debt that won’t atone

Soldiers tried to bargain mercy with the clink of stolen coin

Found their names in iron script where the ivy won’t rejoin

Enemies fall swift and sudden under ledger and my hand

No one disrespects the order written in this land

Bridge

Centuries stacking like the pages in my chest

Every oath a weight every step a test

I keep the balance though the world tries to sway

Arbiter stands steady at the edge of day

Chorus

Call me Arbiter I run these Grounds I keep the scale aligned

Stone oath ledger and blade in hand I don’t unmake the line

Bring your crown bring your claim bring your blood and bring your plea

I read the name I mark the fate this ground remembers me

Outro

Big AG on the threshold names fall into dust

Scales swing steady truth stays heavy iron rust

Arbiter speak the final word no mercy for the sly

These Grounds remember every soul that passes by
