Jagen Vanryth - Dark Knight #sunoverse

[Intro] Night crawls slow through the cracks in my ribs, City breathes like it knows what a corpse smell is. I’ve buried saints, I’ve cut down kings, I don’t kneel to halos or broken wings. If judgment walks with a blade in his hand, He’ll learn real fast where I take my stand. [Verse 1] I’ve stalked corruption in the marrow of men, Watched good intentions rot from within. Systems built tall just to grind us to dust, Painted in gold, still corroded with rust. I don’t wear hope like a mask for the crowd, I work in the quiet where screams aren’t loud. I’ve slit the throat of a thousand evils unnamed, Never once needed a god to be blamed. Now you rise from the wreckage calling it fate, Swinging karma like it’s clean, like it’s straight. But I’ve seen what happens when fire decides Every shadow deserves to be burned alive. You say gods must fall—I don’t disagree, But your blade doesn’t stop where it needs to be. You don’t weigh the cost, you don’t count the dead, You just sharpen the law and swing it at heads. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t defend crowns, I don’t defend thrones, But I won’t let the world Be reduced to your bones. [Chorus 1] If you come for the sinners, you’ll come through me, I don’t pray—I bleed for what still breathes. You call it balance, I call it war, You cross that line, I answer with force. I’ve stood in hell and I didn’t break, So take your judgment—I don’t shake. If death wears justice like a disguise, Then tonight… the Dark Knight bites back. [Verse 2] Look at me—eye to eye, no myths, no mist, I’ve bled in alleys you’d call beneath your wrist. You wear extinction like a sermon rehearsed, I’ve carried worse—I’ve been the curse before the curse. You think I don’t hear the screams in my sleep? I just don’t use them to justify the heap. You stack bodies like numbers make you right, I carve monsters out one soul at a time. You call yourself karma, I call you lazy wrath, Swinging wide, burning fields you never walked past. I’ve dragged evil screaming out of human skin, You just erase the page and call it discipline. So if you want the dark, don’t posture—earn it, I’ve lived where mercy dies and still learned it. Step closer—see exactly what you face: I’m what’s left when the abyss learns restraint. [Pre-Chorus 2] You swing too wide, You burn too far, And everything left Becomes just scars. [Chorus 2] If you come for the sinners, you’ll come through me, I don’t kneel—I decide who still gets to breathe. You call it balance, I see a line erased, You don’t bring peace—you just widen the grave. No gods above me, no fate to obey, I don’t need heaven to stand in your way. If judgment wants blood to prove it’s right— Then take your swing. I’ll end the night. [Bridge] I don’t want crowns. I don’t want names. I don’t want worship Carved in flame. If I stand alone against the flood, I’ll stain this ground with necessary blood. Not for glory. Not for fate. Just to keep the line from breaking late. [Outro] I walk the dark so others don’t fall in, I end evil—I don’t drown in it. Keep your throne of bones and blame, I’ll be waiting in the fire you came to claim. Judgment came loud, dressed as decay— But the Knight still stands. And he’s in your way.
