Betrayed by the light

Verse 1

I carried your fire in my veins,

Sang your truth through endless pain.

Built your throne with broken bones,

Called your silence holy oaths.

Now I see through heaven’s lies,

Gold-stained hands, dead-seraph eyes.

You crowned me just to watch me fall,

Your mercy was a wrecking ball.

Pre-Chorus

You promised I would never break,

But fed me to the blade of fate.

I bled your name, you turned away—

Now hear the words I couldn’t say.

Chorus

I was betrayed by the light,

Wings cut down in holy fire.

Left to burn in heaven’s lies,

You watched me die—

I was betrayed by the light.

Your halo hides a murderer,

I rise from ash, I’ll never bow—

You don’t own me now.

Verse 2

I marched for you through endless war,

Prayed for peace you never swore.

Every scar a sacred sign,

Every sin you called divine.

Now the truth is in the smoke,

All your love was just a rope.

You tied me to a sinking throne,

Then left me there to die alone.

Pre-Chorus

You said I was your chosen flame,

But burned me just to save your name.

I gave you faith, you gave me chains—

Now I break them in your face.

Chorus

I was betrayed by the light,

Wings cut down in holy fire.

Left to burn in heaven’s lies,

You watched me die—

I was betrayed by the light.

Your halo hides a murderer,

I rise from ash, I’ll never bow—

You don’t own me now.

Breakdown

(Spoken / screamed)

You call this grace?!

You call this love?!

You built your heaven

On the backs of the ones you crushed!

Bridge

No prayers left inside my chest,

Just a heartbeat full of death.

I’ll be the shadow you can’t erase,

Your greatest sin, your fallen grace.

Final Chorus

I was betrayed by the light,

Cast aside to feed your crown.

Now I stand in darker skies,

I won’t be bound—

I was betrayed by the light.

Your throne will fall, your truth will drown,

I rise unbroken from the ground—

You don’t own me now.

Outro

No more faith.

No more lies.

Only fire in my eyes
