Half-Blood Curse

[Verse 1]
Born of light
Left in shadow's grip
A god's cold laugh
A mother's slip
A cradle of storms
No hands to hold
Flesh like theirs
But the heart turns cold
We bled for skies
We burned for pride
But gods don't weep when mortals die
[Prechorus]
And the stars
They sneer
A throne so near
So far
So clear
[Chorus]
We are the children you forgot to save
Cursed by your love
Born to the grave
You made us fight
You made us fall
Half-blood hearts
No gods at all
[Verse 2]
Arrows sing through the hollowed trees
The price of power is misery
You made us weapons
You made us clay
But your temples crumble
Day by day
Our blood writes songs on the river's edge
A hymn of rage
A broken pledge
[Chorus]
We are the children you forgot to save
Cursed by your love
Born to the grave
You made us fight
You made us fall
Half-blood hearts
No gods at all
[Bridge]
Do you hear us scream from the mountain spires?
Do you feel the ash from your holy fires?
Do you see the graves that we call home?
You left us to die
To die alone

emotive edge, swelling synth pads and minimal drum loops in the chorus; haunting female vocals with a raw, electro, folk-emo fusion with a touch of electronic atmosphere; acoustic guitar drives the verses, emo, folk, pop
