[Intro — soft distorted piano, distant wind, low void hum] I saw the end… And it spoke my name. I thought it was salvation… Maybe it was pain. [Verse 1] I walked alone where the desert died, Stars fell quiet in the purple sky, A voice reached out from beneath the sand, And placed forever in my hands. It showed me cities without their crowns, Kings with no thrones, gods bowing down, No more hunger, no more war, No one asking what it’s for. I thought I saw a kinder place, A world erased of every ache, But every time I close my eyes, I still hear someone say goodbye. [Pre-Chorus] Was I chosen? Was I lost? Did I save them, Or count the cost? [Chorus] If the Void is mercy, why does it hurt? Why do I still remember earth? Why do I dream of who I was Before the silence swallowed us? I see the ending in the light, I call it peace, but it feels like night. If I am blessed by what I’ve seen, Why does the vision bleed through me? [Verse 2] They call me prophet, call me mad, But they don’t know the dreams I’ve had. I’ve seen the world unmake its chains, Then watched it forget every name. No more fathers, no more sons, No more graves for anyone, No more tears left in the rain, No more hearts left to explain. And somewhere deep beneath the call, A human voice still wants to fall. It begs me, “Turn away, go home,” But home is dust, and I am stone. [Pre-Chorus 2] Was it freedom? Was it fate? Did I open The final gate? [Chorus] If the Void is mercy, why does it hurt? Why do I still remember earth? Why do I dream of who I was Before the silence swallowed us? I see the ending in the light, I call it peace, but it feels like night. If I am blessed by what I’ve seen, Why does the vision bleed through me? [Bridge — stripped, haunting, almost whispered] I remember my mother’s voice. I remember the market flame. I remember being a man Before I became a name. I remember fear. I remember love. I remember looking up. Now the sky looks back at me, With a thousand endless eyes, And every truth it gives to me Takes another piece inside. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was weak. Maybe I called it destiny Because I could not speak. [Final Chorus — bigger, emotional, choir underneath] If the Void is mercy, why does it hurt? Why do I still remember earth? Why do I dream of who I was Before the silence swallowed us? I see the ending in the light, I call it peace, but it feels like night. If I am blessed by what I’ve seen, Why does the vision bleed through me? [Outro — fading void hum, broken vocal] I saw the end… And it spoke my name. I thought it was salvation… But I still feel the shame.
