Shattered Reverence

[Verse]
Fingers grasp the ashes of trust long gone
Eyes stare into the void where faith once shone
Voices echo promises now turned to dust
Shattered reverence buried deep in the rust
[Chorus]
Betrayal tastes like iron and bitter despair
Shadows of respect now drift in the air
Once close now distant like a storm rolling wide
Faith fell apart left a canyon inside
[Verse 2]
Hands that once held me now push me away
Smiles that warmed now as cold as decay
Every word a blade carving deep in my chest
Lost in the wreckage where I thought I was blessed
[Bridge]
Memories twist like smoke through the haze
Truth's sharp edge cuts through the maze
Silent screams claw at the cracks in my mind
A faith I can't follow a hope I can't find
[Chorus]
Betrayal tastes like iron and bitter despair
Shadows of respect now drift in the air
Once close now distant like a storm rolling wide
Faith fell apart left a canyon inside
[Verse 3]
No light no anchor no shelter to hold
The fire went out and the embers are cold
The faces I trusted they turned and they lied
Left me standing in the ruins where faith died
