[Intro Instrumental - Hopeful strings, soft hymn-like chords. Gentle light before the storm.] [Intro] I held the dawn within my hands, burning clean and bright Believed that truth would never fade, believed in sacred light Your gentle voice was golden once, a promise warm and near I never thought devotion could be twisted by your fear [Verse 1] You spoke your vows beside my own, soft as holy thread I swore to guard you faithfully, no matter what lay ahead Sacred when spoken, poison when kept, your sweetest lie You turned my oath against me just to watch my honor die [Pre-Chorus 1] The light cracked open, showing all the rot beneath You let me fall to lift yourself, left me in broken peace [Tonal musical shift hits here - AGRESIVE FORWARD, hope snaps.] [Chorus 1] Bound by your lie, you chained me with your saintly mask Kept my word, lost my light, you made my faith a simple task You tore the truth out of my hands and watched my spirit crawl That was the moment everything collapsed—my Vowfall [Verse 2] The order saw your painted glow and cast me into night They named me traitor, burned my name, stripped me of holy right But in the dark a spark survived, a flame that wouldn’t die No vow will bind my hands again, no god will hear my cry [Chorus 2] Bound by your lie, but now that lie becomes my blade Kept my word, lost my light, now wrath is all that I’ve remade You shaped the ruin that I am; you’ll answer when I call Your kingdom trembles now beneath the weight of my Vowfall [Instrumental Transition] [Bridge] You wanted a martyr— you forged an avenger instead. You wanted me broken— now tremble when I tread. No heaven left to claim me, no mercy left to stall. I rise from what you shattered, and I rise to watch you fall. [Final Chorus] Bound by your lie, but now the curse runs back to you Kept my word, lost my light, but darkness taught me something true You built these chains around my soul; now hear the final call I claim my wrath, I claim the night—this is my Vowfall [Outro] No blessings wait behind me, no redemption left to chase Just the echo of your treason burning cold across my face The light you stole won’t guide me, but the shadows never lie Every step I take from here is the oath that you’ll die [Outro Instrumental- Fading war drums, low strings, a final dissonant swell—the sound of an oathbreaker walking forward.]
