**Verse 1 (Suspicion)** *Beneath the sky’s unblinking eye, I traced the cracks in their tongues of clay. The canyon’s breath—a scorpion’s sigh— "Trust is the river that carves its own way."* *(Whispers between lines: "Eye... clay... sigh... way...")* **Pre-Chorus (Doubt Solidifies)** *Stars dissolve to ink, their secrets spilled— A thousand lamps by their hands were killed…* *(Whispers: "Ink... spilled... killed...")* **Chorus (Resentment Brews)** *Oh, the viper’s venom in my blood, A shadow’s fang where their chains once stood. I wove their throne from my marrow’s thread— Now let the storm unspool its dread.* *(Whispers: "Venom... fang... dread...")* **Verse 2 (Betrayal)** *The moon’s blade etched vows in sand, Promised roots to clasp my hand. But the fig tree choked on their honeyed lies— Thorns now crown the vulture’s skies.* *(Whispers: "Blade... sand... thorns...")* **Pre-Chorus (Clarity)** *The desert keeps what their hands erase— Dunes reflect the jackal’s face…* *(Whispers: "Desert... erase... face...")* **Chorus (Determination)** *Oh, the viper strikes with borrowed flame, A shadow’s pyre to scorch their name. I’ll grind their towers to hungry dust, And salt the womb where their greed was thrust.* *(Whispers: "Flame... pyre... dust...")* **Bridge (Destruction’s Oath)** *The earth splits where my footsteps land— Truth, a scorpion in my hand. Each breath fans the embers of the past— The king of sandstorms births his wrath.* *(Whispers: "Footsteps... scorpion... wrath...")* **Outro (Annihilation)** *The sirocco claims their fragile trail, Silence chokes on dunes I claim…* *(Whispers fade: "Sirocco... claim...")*
