[Intro – Sparse piano, low strings humming like breath through a cathedral] They called it destiny. They said I shone. But I was just… Alone. [Verse 1 – Gentle melody, slow and mournful] They placed a crown on my young head, And whispered, “She’s divine.” But every time I closed my eyes— The blood was always mine. They gave me wings I couldn’t feel, A smile I had to fake… And told me pain was holy If it’s for the others’ sake. [Pre-Chorus – Rising strings, quiet desperation] I prayed to stars that never moved, I waited for a voice. But heaven never answered me— Just silence made by choice. [Chorus – Full orchestra, slow grandeur, tragic resolve] I was never chosen, I was sacrificed. A name engraved in frost. A statue for their fairy tales— But my soul was what they lost. I bore their sins in sacred light, And smiled until I cracked… But this altar isn’t holy— It’s just a trap. [Verse 2 – Softer, nearly broken] The younger ones looked up to me, They saw the shimmered veil. But I was just a storybook With blood beneath the tale. I tried to warn them with my eyes, But they still danced and sang… And I… I stayed behind To take the fangs. [Bridge – Voice trembling, like an old cathedral collapsing] I begged the stars to let me die— Not to end, but to be free. But even death was dressed in gold, And called a destiny. Now the mirror shows my true face, The one they swore would never be… But if I am the monster— Then who made me? [Final Chorus – Climactic, voice soaring over strings and organ] I was never chosen, I was sacrificed. A lamb in ribbons red. Praised me while they watched me rot, Then mourned once I was dead. Don’t call it fate, don’t call it love— I burned so they could live. But now there’s nothing left to save… And nothing left to give. [Outro – A cappella, soft and echoing like a prayer fading into stars] I was never chosen… I was sacrificed. And still, I smiled. …So they wouldn’t cry.
