[Verse 1] They called it fate, The moment flame kissed flesh, A daughter’s name, Erased in ash and death. I was a light once, Proud in crimson and gold, But they carved me hollow, A puppet they could hold. [Pre-Chorus] Undead, unbroken, Your leash can’t chain my soul— I rise with ruin, Let your silence pay the toll. [Chorus] I was unchosen, left to decay, A weapon cast in shadow and stray. Now I burn with every vow you betrayed— I fight for the lost, Not the graves you made. [Verse 2] I watched the light turn cold, As old friends turned their gaze. Is it justice, or revenge, That guides my blade these days? They see a corpse, But never what it cost— To tear out the rot, To mourn what I lost. [Pre-Chorus] Undone, remade, Your martyr won’t behave— I'll never kneel, Not to tyrant nor grave. [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I was unchosen, cast to the flame, Risen through pain, never again the same. You built your kingdom on silence and shame— But I stand for the damned, With no need for your name. [Bridge – Spoken whispers layered behind vocals] "She was ours…" "No. I was never yours." "We could’ve saved her." "You only saved the lie." [Final Chorus – with strings swelling] I was unchosen—now I choose me, A blade in the dark, I’ll set the fallen free. No crown, no savior—just memory— I fight for the truth, And the ghosts that still bleed. [End]
