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
