Verse 1 All my life I trained my soul for wars to come, Learned to stand back up no matter who had won. Every loss became a lesson carved in stone, Every battle taught me how to fight alone. Some gave treasures that no fortune could repay, Some left scars and took a part of me away. Yet I always knew how to stop the bleeding flow, How to save myself and keep my spirit whole. Then came the war I never saw before, The one that shook me to my very core. Chorus This was my world war, my darkest sky, The one that almost taught my heart to die. But I survived the fire, the smoke, the fall, You thought you’d break me — you broke nothing at all. I walked through ashes, I walked through pain, I lost my world and found myself again. You pulled the trigger, watched the heavens fall, But I’m still standing through it all. Verse 2 It came too fast, it came at the wrong time, No shield to wear, no warning sign. An unfamiliar weapon cut through every wall, The button pressed, the impact sent me far beyond it all. Far from home and everything I knew, Far away from life — and far away from you. My most devoted enemy, my deepest wound to bear, The ghost I never thought I’d meet standing there. Chorus This was my world war, my darkest sky, The one that almost taught my heart to die. But I survived the fire, the smoke, the fall, You thought you’d break me — you broke nothing at all. I walked through ashes, I walked through pain, I lost my world and found myself again. You pulled the trigger, watched the heavens fall, But I’m still standing through it all. ——— When I looked into the chaos, I was sure that I was gone, Bleeding out beneath the wreckage, barely holding on. But then I saw your greatest flaw, the reason I survived, You aimed straight for my heart — but it wasn’t there to strike. It had been hidden for years beneath a vault of steel and stone, Buried in a silent bunker, locked away alone. You hit me with your ego, your narcissistic pride, Your lies and your assumptions — but I’d fought those all my life. Verse 3 I pulled the shrapnel from my wounded soul one piece at a time, And saw the scars weren’t nearly half as deep as in my mind. The blood had started clotting, the worst was almost through, So I wrapped my wounds and rose again determined to face you. I charged ahead to meet the giant monster in my head, The titan I imagined, the nightmare that I’d fed. But standing there before me wasn’t what I’d feared at all, Just a frightened child, a little demon, scared and small. Chorus This was my world war, my darkest sky, The one that almost taught my heart to die. But now I see the truth behind the smoke and flame, You were never half the monster I made you in my brain. I could destroy you with my hands completely bare, With truth alone, with principles too strong to tear. But you’re not worth the fight, not worth one final blow, So I turned around and chose to let you go. ———- You fell to your knees, begging for yesterday, For the world before the ruins washed away. I touched your head and whispered soft and low: “You’ll build another world someday… But not with me.” Then I tightened all my bandages stained red, Raised my eyes toward the horizon up ahead. And walked alone into the next apocalypse I’d meet, Hoping next time fate would give me time to be ready for the heat.
