Lyrics

Lament)

[Intro – ambient, breathy, distant choir]

I leave my name in orbit

If I die—

Let the sky remember me

⸻

[Verse 1 – quiet, intimate]

The world looks small from up here

Like it never knew my hands

Like it never buried my wife

Like it never learned my name

Gold light bleeding through the glass

My pulse synced with the countdown

I was born beneath the ground

Now I fall to take it back

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – tension rising]

I feel her in the silence

Eo, whispering be brave

Gravity pulls at my bones

Like it knows I’m not afraid

⸻

[Chorus – soaring, emotional, restrained power]

I AM NOT AN ANGEL

I AM NOT A KING

I AM A MAN MADE INTO WAR

BY EVERYTHING THEY TOOK FROM ME

IF I BREAK

LET IT BE HERE

IF I BURN

LET THEM SEE

I WILL HIT THE GROUND

LIKE A PROMISE

I WILL FALL—

SO WE CAN BREATHE

⸻

[Verse 2 – deeper, darker]

The suit is shaking like it knows

This body doesn’t belong to them

Red blood under borrowed gold

A lie sharpened into truth again

Every second screams her name

Every flame looks like the past

If this is how gods are born—

Then let me die a man at last

⸻

[Pre-Chorus – whispered → sung]

I have carried chains

I have worn their face

But when the sky opens up—

I remember who I am

⸻

[Chorus – fuller instrumentation]

I AM NOT AN ANGEL

I AM NOT A KING

I AM A SON OF DUST AND GRIEF

WITH A HEART THAT STILL CAN BLEED

IF I BREAK

LET IT BE HERE

IF I BURN

LET THEM SEE

I WILL HIT THE GROUND

LIKE A PROMISE

I WILL FALL—

SO WE CAN BREATHE

⸻

[Bridge – ritualistic, spoken, layered vocals]

Mother, I’m coming home through fire

Wife, I kept the dream alive

Father, forgive the blood on my hands

It was the only language they understood

I was carved

I was crowned

I was thrown into the sky

Now I choose the fall

⸻

[Breakdown – sudden, crushing]

STRAP IN

BURN IN

COUNT IT DOWN

TEN [ soft vocals]

THIS IS FAITH [Chaotic vocals]

NINE [ soft vocals]

FAITH IS FAILING, WHY? [Chaotic vocals]

EIGHT [ soft vocals]

HIT THE SKY [Chaotic vocals]

SEVEN [ soft vocals]

TEAR IT OPEN [Chaotic vocals]

SIX [ soft vocals]

IRON HEAT [Chaotic vocals]

FIVE [ soft vocals]

BREAKING AROUND SOUND [Chaotic vocals]

FOUR [ soft vocals]

BREAKING DOWN [Chaotic vocals]

THREE [ soft vocals]

STATIC SOUND INBOUND [Chaotic vocals]

TWO [ soft vocals]

IF I DIE— [Chaotic vocals]

ONE [ soft vocals]

I DIE RISING [Chaotic vocals]

⸻

[Final Chorus – expansive, desperate, transcendent]

I AM NOT AN ANGEL

I AM NOT A KING

I AM THE WEIGHT OF EVERY LIFE

THEY BURIED UNDERNEATH

LET ME BREAK

LET ME BLEED

LET THE GOLDEN EMPIRE SEE

WHEN I HIT THE GROUND

I HIT LIKE TRUTH

I HIT—

FOR THOSE WHO COULDN’T SPEAK

⸻

[Outro – fading, atmospheric]

The sky let go of me

The world caught fire

And for the first time—

I’m not afraid of the fall
