Verse 1 – The Ashes Between Us I watched him rise from ruin, with fire in his chest, While I sank into the silence, never called, never blessed. He wore his scars like scripture, his pain like sacred gold, But I remember the moments when his heart turned cold. He walked through storms I couldn’t face, And left me in a darker place. Chorus – The Flame He is the flame that burned us both, The vow that split the sky. He found his strength in sorrow, While I was left to die. He is the knight they sing about, While I became the ghost. He rose, he burned, he carried on — And I lost what mattered most. Verse 2 – The Bitter Truth They call him legend, call him light, But I remember every fight. He wasn’t born with iron skin, He broke, he bled, he sinned within. Yet still they praise the man he became, While I’m left choking on his name. Verse 3 – The Fear Beneath There’s something in his silence now, A weight that bends the air. He walks like he’s already gone, Like nothing’s left to spare. I fear the fire that drives him on, It’s not just strength — it’s wrath reborn. He doesn’t see the wreckage left, He only sees the crown he’s sworn. Verse 4 – The Forgotten I stood beside him once, a brother in the storm, But time rewrote the story, and left my name deformed. He built his vow on sacred ground, While I was buried, never found. He rose to be the light they need, While I became the wound that bleeds. Verse 5 – The Jealousy I gave him truth, I gave him time, But he took the glory, left me behind. He speaks of love, of sacred flame, But never once he spoke my name. He wears the crown, I wear the cost, He found his path — and I got lost. Verse 6 – The Used He needed me when he was weak, When silence held him from the peak. I carried him through shattered days, But now I’m just the price he pays. He rose on backs like mine and theirs, And left us bleeding unawares. Bridge – The Reckoning Let him wear his sacred key, let him chant his vow, But I remember who he was, and who he is now. No light will guide him, no truth will set him free, He’s just the echo of a man who used to be. Final Chorus – The Flame Revisited He is the flame that burned us both, The vow that split the sky. He found his strength in sorrow, While I was left to die. He is the knight they sing about, While I became the ghost. He rose, he burned, he carried on — And I lost what mattered most. Outro – The Fade So let him stand, let him be known, But I will walk this path alone. The vow that forged him left me cold — A story never fully told. He is the flame that burned us both — And I was the one who turned to smoke.
