[INTRO - NARRATION (DEEP MALE)]
I remember the moment they called me a hero
Funny thing is…
That was the same moment I started losing everything
They built statues in my name
While I stood there… holding your last breath
If this world needed your death to survive…
Then maybe this world doesn’t deserve to survive at all
⸻
[VERSE 1]
I kept my hands clean, followed every rule
Played their savior, played their tool
Every life I saved felt justified
Till I watched you fade and I stayed alive
They said “you did what you had to do”
Like that would bring me back to you
Now every word just fuels the flame
Every excuse just sounds the same
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
They want their hero back again
But he died with you in the end
⸻
[CHORUS]
If the world must die to hear you breathe again
Then let it fall, let it all cave in
Every life, every line that they defend
Means nothing if I don’t get you again
I gave them hope, I gave them light
Now I take it back into the night
I don’t care how this all will end
If the world must die, I’ll do it again
⸻
[VERSE 2]
I see your shadow in every flame
Every ruin whispers your name
This broken crown upon my head
Is built from everything they said
“Sacrifice is what heroes do”
Yeah, I sacrificed myself for you
But they took more than I could give
Now I don’t want this world to live
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
If saving them means losing you
Then I reject the truth they choose
⸻
[CHORUS]
If the world must die to hear you breathe again
Then let it fall, let it all cave in
Every life, every lie they defend
Means nothing if I don’t get you again
I gave them hope, I gave them light
Now I take it back into the night
I don’t care how this all will end
If the world must die, I’ll do it again
⸻
[BRIDGE]
No more halos, no more grace
Only vengeance left in place
They built a god, then let him break
Now they fear the choice I’ll make
⸻
[OUTRO - NARRATION (DEEP MALE)]
They’ll write stories about this…
About how a hero fell
They’ll say I lost my way
That grief made me weak
But they’re wrong
Grief didn’t break me…
It showed me the truth
A world that demands your death…
Is a world I was never meant to save
So let them pray
Let them run
I already chose
Sanctuary
