Forged to Remain by MilliMiu28 - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – whispered / ritual]

[(Breath. Low drone. Heartbeat percussion)]

I didn’t survive by accident.

I stayed… when leaving was easier.

[Verse 1 – low, restrained, intimate]

I learned to smile with a war in my chest,

Carried the weight they never guessed.

I held the line when the nights grew long,

Loved with a heart they said was wrong.

I was bleeding quiet, learning to stand,

While life kept breaking what I planned.

If faith is tested by fire and pain,

Then I’ve been baptized in endless flame.

[Pre-Chorus – tension rising]

Hear the drum under my skin,

This is where my strength begins.

I don’t run, I don’t pretend,

I stay until the very end.

[Chorus – massive, emotional metal]

I am forged, not broken,

I am truth unspoken.

Through the dark, through the fear, through the flame,

I stayed when the world turned away.

I am blood and devotion,

Not a moment an ocean.

If love is a vow written in pain,

I will carry it… again and again.

[Verse 2 – heavier, angrier]

They saw my silence, called it weak,

Never felt the hell I beat.

I buried screams so my kids could breathe,

Turned my wounds into belief.

I’ve loved with hands that still would shake,

Gave more than I could ever take.

If this is the price of staying real,

Then let the scars remind me what I feel.

[Pre-Chorus – chant-like]

Om of the ache, Om of the fire,

Every loss took me higher.

No escape, no disguise,

Only truth behind tired eyes.

[Chorus – wider, crushing]

I am forged, not broken,

I am oath unspoken.

Through the dark, through the fear, through the flame,

I stayed when the world turned away.

I am blood and devotion,

Not a phase my whole motion.

If love is a vow written in pain,

I will carry it… again and again.

[

][Bridge / Breakdown – ritual, raw]

(Whispered / chanted)]

Strip me bare leave my soul.

I’ve paid the price, I’ve lost control.

Name by name, tear by tear,

I stayed when disappearing felt near.

[(Indian percussion takes over — voices circle, breath, mantra-like sounds)]

[Final Chorus – emotional devastation + power]

I am forged, not broken,

I am fire awoken.

Let the gods bear witness to this stand—

I loved with a shaking hand.

No crown, no mercy claimed,

Just a heart that remained.

If this world remembers my pain,

Let it remember I stayed.

[Outro – fading drone, calm after fire]

I didn’t survive to be saved.

I survived… because I chose to stay.
