[Intro] [Begins with the high-pitched squeal of amplifier feedback and the sound of arcing electricity. A low, dissonant synth drone creates a bed of tension. After a moment of silence, a heavily distorted, down-tuned 8-string guitar rips into a syncopated, machine-like, palm-muted riff. The drums enter with pounding, precise kick patterns.] [Verse 1] [Harsh Scream] Echoes in the feedback, ghosts behind the glass! Living on the fragments of a shattered past! Forged inside the fire, born beneath the strain! Every broken piece screams out a forgotten name! [Pre-Chorus] [High Scream] They wanted submission, a bow before the fall! But every time I hit the ground, I stood up twice as tall! [Chorus] [Clean & Powerful, layered with Screams] SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! A map of every battle, at a heavy cost SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! This skin's a testament to every line I crossed! [Verse 2] [Harsh Scream] They see imperfect patterns, a canvas that's been torn! I see the iron armor that I've worn since I was born! A jagged silver lightning, a line across the bone! Each one is a milestone that I had to walk alone! [Pre-Chorus] [High Scream] They see a faded memory, a wound that never heals! I feel the burning engine, the turning of the wheels! [Chorus] [Clean & Powerful, layered with Screams] SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! A map of every battle, at a heavy cost SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! This skin's a testament to every line I crossed! [Verse 3] [Harsh Scream] This pain is not a prison, it's the engine in my chest! A symphony of damage, putting strength to the test! No longer flesh and weakness, but wire, rust, and bone! A monument of fury on a broken, jagged throne! [Pre-Chorus] [High Scream] They wanted my surrender, a whisper in the night! Instead, they forged a weapon and sharpened it for the fight! [Chorus] [Clean & Powerful, layered with Screams] SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! A map of every battle, at a heavy cost SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! This skin's a testament to every line I crossed! [Bridge] [The heavy instruments cut out entirely. A cold, pulsing electronic beat and the eerie synth drone from the intro remain. Vocals become a distorted, close-mic whisper, laced with crackle.] [Distorted Whisper] They read like a story... written in the flesh... Chapter one: The Breaking. Chapter two: The Fire. The final page... survival. And in the silence... you can hear them speak... [Breakdown] [A wall of feedback slams in. The tempo slows to a crushing crawl. The guitars play a simple, bone-shatteringly heavy, syncopated chug. The drums are deliberate and powerful, emphasizing each hit. Vocals are a deep, guttural growl.] [Guttural Growl] EVERY. SCAR. WHISPERS... [A moment of silence, then a full-throated, raw scream] "THIS MAN REFUSED TO QUIT!" [Final Chorus / Outro] [The song explodes back into the main chorus at full tempo, more chaotic and desperate than before. The clean vocals are almost entirely overpowered by the raw screams.] [Primarily Screamed] SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! "THIS MAN REFUSED TO QUIT!" SCARS AREN'T PROOF YOU LOST! THEY ARE PROOF YOU FOUGHT! "THIS MAN REFUSED TO QUIT!" [Outro] [The song ends abruptly. The instruments cut out on the final beat, leaving only the sound of a single, sustained guitar chord ringing out until it dissolves into shrieking feedback and dies.]
