The Oath (Save Yourself)

Verse 1 I walked the flood, it took my breath Cold to the bone, but it didn’t end me Water over mouth, fire in chest I stayed upright when the ground went empty The weight came down, it stripped my name What didn’t sink was never mine ⸻ Verse 2 I survived the fire Lost the life Everything false burned clean Spill the blood Not for pardon Just to see what stayed with me I didn’t run I didn’t ask I let it finish what it came to be ⸻ Verse 3 I walked the flood Still burning I stood in fire Still here No mercy in it No promise bent Just truth that wouldn’t move ⸻ Verse 4 Sacrifice didn’t save me It showed me what would hold No hand reached down Nothing answered Just heat Just water Just what I could carry alone ⸻ Verse 5 Lose the lie Spill the blood Stand where it breaks The flood takes the name The fire takes the light Save yourself
