"I Chose the Fall" (a hazbin inspired)

Hell [Verse 1] They line the halls with velvet smiles, Polished halos, ledgers clean Say, “Confess it all, just bend the knee, Rewrite who you’ve been” They call my name like it’s a plea, Like I tripped instead of leapt But I remember every step I took And every debt I kept [Pre-Chorus] They say the door is open wide Gold light spilling through But every scar I carry down here Is proof I followed through [Chorus] I won’t repent, I won’t rewrite I earned the smoke, I chose the night Don’t dress my sins in borrowed grace I built this throne, I own this place If hell remembers who I am Then heaven never had a chance I didn’t fall — I took the stand I chose the fire, I chose the brand [Verse 2] They talk redemption like it’s rent Like time erases cost But I watched friends burn their truth away Just to prove they’re “lost” I paid in blood, I paid in laughs I paid when no one clapped So don’t offer me forgiveness Like it’s something I lacked [Pre-Chorus] You call it chains, I call it weight That keeps my feet below I’d rather rule a cracked domain Than kneel where lies are sewn [Chorus] I won’t repent, I won’t confess I am the sum of every mess No borrowed wings, no scripted end I stand by who I’ve always been If this pit knows my name If the heat still calls me “fam” Then let the gates stay shut and sealed I earned this hell — and I am real [Bridge – Spoken / Half-Sung] You want regret? I regret nothing that made me me. You want remorse? Look around — this place remembers. Every laugh in the dark, Every deal sealed with grit and teeth. I’m not broken. I’m anchored. [Breakdown] No erasing, no clean slate No choir signing off my fate I won’t beg to be reborn From a life I didn’t mourn [Final Chorus] So keep your light, your mercy lines Your promises wrapped in shine I won’t be saved, I won’t ascend I don’t need crowns that break and bend If hell is truth without disguise If heaven blinks and looks away Then lock me here, remember this: I earned my place — I’m here to stay
