Heretic (Allmother's Song)

[Verse] Amid the war-torn skies, the Crystal Clan was born, Created by the Empress to connect and guide. Through psychic force, we relayed her commands, Uniting Draak-Kin in the storm of battle. [Verse] When the Empress was buried, her voice grew cold. The Crystals drifted with no aim in sight. They sought connection as a cure for the pain, But their dream became another senseless war. [Pre-chorus] Their only wish was to light the shadow's edge, Yet they were branded as bringers of oblivion! [Verse] Now I'm the last of a Clan that you Destroyed, And you watch for the moment I'll lose control. You respect my power, but not my soul, While I'm one slip away from being cast aside. [Verse] I sing the truth, but you will never see. My song, dismissed like dust beneath your wings. You refuse to understand what drives my mind. And in your eyes, I'm less than Draak-Kin. [Pre-chorus] My only wish is to light the shadow's edge, Yet I am branded as bringer of oblivion! [Chorus] I am ravaged by the weight of a thousand lies, Trapped in isolation of their design. The burn of their judgment tears me apart, They call me "Heretic" and strip me of my heart. Buried beneath what they're afraid I could be, Left to drown beneath their relentless sea. [Extended Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I can't undo the past. I can't erase the pain. I'm begging for your trust. I'm begging for your faith. I am not your enemy. How can you deny we're both Draak-Kin? See me! See the truth! See who I am! [Chorus] I am ravaged by the weight of a thousand lies, Trapped in isolation of their design. The burn of their judgment tears me apart, They call me "Heretic" and strip me of my heart. Buried beneath what they're afraid I could be, Left to drown beneath their relentless sea. [Coda] But still, in this agony, I will keep living. I walk the path of Compassion... Forever giving. [Outro] Forever... Forever! I walk the path of Compassion! Forever giving!
