Verse 1 I wore the morning like every day, The wind knew nothing of what would change. A borrowed smile, An uncovered face… No one could see How close fate waits. Then came the shouting… Then came the smoke… Then came the silence When thunder spoke. The world turned red… But not my soul. ⸻ Pre-Chorus You thought one shot Could end my story. You never knew… It was the first page. ⸻ Chorus YOU TOOK MY EYE… BUT NOT MY VISION! YOU TOOK MY BLOOD… BUT NOT MY NAME! YOU MARKED MY FACE… NOT MY TOMORROW! YOU LEFT A SCAR… I LIT A FLAME! THE EYE YOU TOOK… WAS FLESH. THE EYE YOU LEFT… BECAME FIRE. ⸻ Verse 2 I learned the weight Of an empty side. The mirror asked me Who had survived. I touched the place Where darkness stayed… Then found a light It could not take. Now every child Who looks at me Sees… More than I do. ⸻ Pre-Chorus You fired at fear… You missed forever. ⸻ Chorus YOU TOOK MY EYE… BUT NOT MY VISION! YOU TOOK MY BLOOD… BUT NOT MY NAME! YOU MARKED MY FACE… NOT MY TOMORROW! YOU LEFT A SCAR… I LIT A FLAME! THE EYE YOU TOOK… WAS FLESH. THE EYE YOU LEFT… BECAME FIRE. ⸻ Bridge (Only ney… distant daf… heartbeat.) For a while… I mourned… The woman… I was. … Then I heard… Another voice. Not behind me. Beside me. Then another. Then another. Women… Who would not disappear. Women… Who would not lower Their eyes. That’s when I knew… You never blinded us. You only taught us… How brightly… Truth burns. The eye you took… Was flesh. The eye you left… Became… Fire. ⸻ Final Chorus YOU TOOK MY EYE… NOW LOOK AT ME! YOU BUILT A WARNING… THE WORLD NOW SEES! YOU WANTED SILENCE… YOU GAVE US VOICES! YOU WANTED SHADOWS… WE BECAME LIGHT! THE EYE YOU TOOK… WAS FLESH. THE EYE YOU LEFT… BECAME FIRE! ⸻ Outro If you see the scar… Don’t look away. Look… Long enough… To see… The fire.
