[Verse 1 – Shadow] You’ll never leave me, you’ll never lose me We are stitched in the same skin loosely You can pray but you can’t undo me Every scar on your heart still proves me You think you can hide from the pain You think a cross erases the shame This is who we are, we are the same Different words, but we play one game This is the way it’s always been Fall down, crawl back into sin You can shout “I’m changed” again But I’m the echo under your skin We’ll always be this — don’t pretend You and I until the end No escape, no cleansing flame We were born in this chain [Pre-Chorus – Shadow whispering] You’re mine You’re mine Until we die [Chorus – Redeemed rises] You’ll never win — I gave us to Jesus The grave you built couldn’t keep us He’s in control now, not our fear Your voice grows weaker every year We’re no longer slaves to the past What He begins, He finishes fast You say we’re one — that was before The blood rewrote what we’re living for You’re not in control anymore [Verse 2 – Shadow (aggressive)] You talk like faith erased the scars But I still know where the weak spots are Late at night when the room goes dark I’m the match — I’m the spark You remember the rush, remember the fire Remember the taste of your old desire You think surrender means you’re free You’ll crawl back eventually You can’t outrun what’s in your veins You can’t pray away our DNA We are one — don’t you see You can’t amputate me [Verse 3 – Redeemed (calm but firm)] You mistake memory for authority You mistake history for identity I don’t deny you once had power But the cross broke that in a single hour You call it DNA — I call it sin And sin lost when He walked out again You say we’re one — but that’s a lie I was buried when He died The old man fell into that grave I rose with Christ, no longer a slave You threaten death — you speak in fear But resurrection happened here [Bridge – Both (overlapping argument)] Shadow: You’ll never leave me — Redeemed: I already did — Shadow: You’ll never lose me — Redeemed: He conquered sin — Shadow: This is who we are — Redeemed: That man is dead — Shadow: We’ll always be the same — Redeemed: I’m Spirit-led — Shadow: You think you can hide from pain Redeemed: I don’t hide — I heal — Shadow: We are one — Redeemed: No. I kneel. [Breakdown – Redeemed declaration] I gave us to Jesus You don’t get a vote He’s steering this heart, You don’t run this soul You ruled through shame, Through guilt and control — But grace took the throne And made this whole You’re no longer master You’re no longer king The chain you forged Lost everything He is redeeming — He is restoring — What you meant for ruin He’s rewriting glory. [Final Chorus – Victorious] You’ll never win — He already did The war you fight was over at the hill You scream “forever” — but forever changed The Lamb was slain — the stone was rolled away You say we’re the same — that’s yesterday I’m crucified but alive today You’re not in control — understand — This life belongs to the Great I AM
