When the Dream Comes to Die

(Intro — Whispered Prayer / Dark Piano) When the dream comes to die… Who remembers the dreamer? You wounded my heart, Then asked me why I bled. From heaven to hell… I hear the angels screaming Inside my head. (Verse 1 — Melodic Rap) I built my kingdom out of promises and dust, Gave you every piece of me, believed in every word of trust. But the hands that held me up became the ones that let me fall, Now I’m talking to the ceiling, asking if You hear my call. You wounded my heart, left the scars beneath my skin, I was searching for a doorway, but the darkness pulled me in. I watched my dreams turn to ashes, watched the stars forget to shine, Now I’m standing at the crossroads between Your world and mine. From heaven to hell, I made the journey alone, With a chest full of regret and a heart made of stone. If the light was meant to save me, why’d it leave me in the cold? If my soul was worth redeeming, why’d You let the gates close? (Pre-Chorus — Rising Vocals) Did You hear me when I cried? Did You see me when I fell? Was I ever worth the saving, Or was I destined for this hell? I keep reaching for the heavens, But the fire pulls me down. IF YOU’RE LISTENING, GOD, DON’T LET ME DROWN! (Chorus — Heavy Bass / Explosive Rock) WHEN THE DREAM COMES TO DIE, LET THE WHOLE SKY CRY! You wounded my heart, now I’m asking You why! FROM HEAVEN TO HELL, I’VE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL! Y’all cast my soul into flames, Then watched me crawl! God, put my restless heart to rest, I’ve carried this world inside my chest. If all my dreams were meant to die, Tell me why I learned to fly! WHEN THE DREAM COMES TO DIE— WILL YOU HEAR ME THIS TIME? (Verse 2 — Aggressive Dark Rap) I wore my faith like armor while the arrows found their way, Every prayer became an echo, every sunrise turned to gray. I was begging for a reason, just a moment of relief, But the silence kept on growing underneath the weight of grief. They say that God has a purpose, that the pain will make you strong, But I’ve been fighting for so long, I forgot where I belong. If the road was always written, was my fall already planned? Was I meant to lose my footing, or just learn to finally stand? I don’t need another sermon, I don’t need another lie, I just need to know the reason all my hopes were left to die. Maybe heaven isn’t distant, maybe hell’s a state of mind, Maybe there’s a little mercy that I’m still supposed to find. (Pre-Chorus — Distorted Whisper Build) Did You hear me when I cried? Did You see me when I fell? I’ve been searching for an answer In the ruins of myself. I keep reaching for the heavens, Though the fire pulls me down. IF YOU’RE LISTENING, GOD, I’M STILL HERE SOMEHOW! (Chorus — Full Industrial Bass / Screamed Backing Vocals) WHEN THE DREAM COMES TO DIE, LET THE WHOLE SKY CRY! You wounded my heart, now I’m asking You why! FROM HEAVEN TO HELL, I’VE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL! Y’all cast my soul into flames, Then watched me crawl! God, put my restless heart to rest, I’ve carried this world inside my chest. If all my dreams were meant to die, Tell me why I learned to fly! WHEN THE DREAM COMES TO DIE— WILL YOU HEAR ME THIS TIME? (Bridge — Piano / Emotional Breakdown) If I’m meant to fall, Let me fall with meaning. If I’m meant to break, Let me find a reason. I’m tired of the fire. I’m tired of the pain. I’m tired of asking For the sun through the rain. God, if You can hear me, I’m not asking to be crowned. Just give this weary soul A little peace on solid ground. (Beat builds; vocals rise.) I DON’T WANT TO BE A GHOST! I DON’T WANT TO LOSE MY NAME! I JUST WANT TO KNOW I WAS MORE THAN ALL THIS PAIN! (Outro — Fading Piano / Haunting Choir) When the dream comes to die, I’ll remember the sky. From heaven to hell, Through the flames I fell. You wounded my heart, But my story isn’t done. Even beneath the ashes, I’ll keep searching for the sun. (Whispered final line) God… If You hear me… I’m still here. (Music fades to silence.)
