Ashes of the Betrayed

Verse 1

You wore a halo made of lies

Soft words hiding sharpened knives

I let you into sacred ground

Now all I hear’s a hollow sound

Pre-Chorus

You smiled while the poison spread

Whispered love, but wished me dead

Chorus

In the ashes of the betrayed

I see the price of games you played

A heart once whole, now torn and frayed

By the devil in your masquerade

You lit the fire, you watched me fade

Now dance alone in the grave you made

Verse 2

Your shadow crawls beneath my skin

A quiet war I couldn’t win

Every promise carved in stone

Now echoes through these bones alone

Pre-Chorus

You fed on trust, you broke the chain

Turned every tear into my pain

Chorus

In the ashes of the betrayed

I see the price of games you played

A heart once whole, now torn and frayed

By the devil in your masquerade

You lit the fire, you watched me fade

Now dance alone in the grave you made

Bridge

No mercy left in your embrace

Just hollow eyes, a stolen face

You crowned yourself with all my fears

Built your throne on blood and tears

Breakdown

Rot in the silence you created

Every love you desecrated

Final Chorus

In the ashes of the betrayed

Your empire crumbles, unafraid

I rise from ruin you displayed

No longer bound, no longer swayed

You lit the fire—but I remain

A ghost that haunts your endless pain

Outro

Now hear the echo of your sin

The end begins… where you begin
