The Lies You Left Behind (Silent Retribution Version) (Extend)

Symphonic Metal, Gothic, Dark, The production is dry, emphasizing the natural acoustics of the instruments and voice, with minimal to no artificial reverb or effects, The song structure appears to be strophic, with repeated melodic phrases for each verse, The key is ambiguous due to the pentatonic nature but centers around a perceived tonic, The overall dynamic is consistent, maintaining a steady volume throughout the performance

[Verse I] You spoke like silence had a sound, and dressed your words in truth. I saw the cracks before they formed, but I let them grow — I wanted proof. You smiled too long, and I memorized the way it broke. [Verse II] I watched you move behind the glass, believing I was blind. You never noticed every lie was written down, and timed. I said nothing — silence makes the sharpest wound. --- [CHORUS] Now the truth is mine to keep, and you’re the one who’ll lose your sleep. I rise where your deceit has died, your kingdom burned from the inside. You took my trust, you broke my spine, but I still stand — the fault was mine. You fed me lies, but I survived. And now, *I’m still alive.* [Verse III] You thought control was on your side, but you never saw the thread. The web you spun was mine to keep, and now it pulls you instead. You choke on every word you claimed, while I stand still — unshaken. [Verse IV] No anger left to feed the flame, no reason left to speak. Your name became the quiet wind, and faded out of reach. The war is done — and I am still complete. --- [CHORUS – repeated twice, full orchestra, dark choir, minimal guitars] Now the truth is mine to keep, and you’re the one who’ll lose your sleep. I rise where your deceit has died, your kingdom burned from the inside. You took my trust, you broke my spine, but I still stand — the fault was mine. You fed me lies, but I survived. And now, *I’m still alive.* (repeat) Now the truth is mine to keep, and you’re the one who’ll lose your sleep. I rise where your deceit has died, your kingdom burned from the inside. You took my trust, you broke my spine, but I still stand — the fault was mine. You fed me lies, but I survived. (End the last chorus, and make a instrumental outro just like the intro)
