🎭 Intro (flüsternd, kaum Musik) I saw him… in broken glass… (Pause) He looked like me… before the past. 🎸 Verse 1 I buried names beneath the mud, washed my hands in borrowed blood. Told myself it had a cost, never said what truly was lost. I wore the mask, I played it right, called it war, called it light. But every step I justified… was just another truth that died. 🎻 Pre-Chorus (Violine setzt ein) I told myself: this had to be But something kept on watching me… 🔥 Chorus The mirror calls me a liar, says I fed the fire. Every choice I defended just twisted the wire. I built my own empire of blame, hid behind duty and name. But the man staring back at me… knows I’m the one who changed. 🎸 Verse 2 I saved a few, I lost a world, watched the banners burn and curl. Every “right” I thought I chose left another open wound. They called me savior, called me king, never saw the cost it brings. I wasn’t led… I wasn’t chained… I walked that road again… again. 🎻 Interlude (nur Violine + Atem) (Flüstern, verzerrt) “You chose this…” “No… I fixed it…” “You made it worse.” 💥 Chorus (größer, verzweifelter) The mirror calls me a liar, says I crowned the fire. Every war I prevented just climbed higher and higher. I tried to outrun my own name, rewrite the end of the game… But every version of me… still ends the same. ⚔️ Bridge (ruhig → eskalierend) I saw him… before the fall… (ruhig) He still believes… he can change it all… (lauter, brüchig) I believed that too. 🩸 Final Chorus (fast schreiend, dann brechend) The mirror calls me a liar… but I know it’s true… I wasn’t broken by fate… I became what I do. No gods, no curse, no design, just a thousand crossed lines… And somewhere back there… he was still… fine. 🌫️ Outro (nur Violine, leer) (Flüstern) Don’t become me… (Pause) …please.
