[Intro – Echoed vocals, haunted piano melody]
“Don’t let that smile fool you…
I been through hell with a grin.”
(“Veins of ash, heart of fire…”)
“They don’t know where I been.”

[Hook – Melodic Drill Flow]
I been in the dark, made peace with the silence,
World in flames, but I walk like I’m timeless.
Yeah, I came back from the grave, no guidance,
Sword on my back and my soul full of violence.
I don’t bleed no more, I adapt,
Cross me once, ain’t no path lookin’ back.
Doors stay open, the world off track,
Veins of ash, but I still don’t crack.
(“Still don’t crack…” echo repeat)

[Verse 1 – Storytelling flow, William reflecting on the new age]
Woke up in a world that forgot how to fight,
They chase likes, but I chase what’s right.
I see demons wearin’ suits and ties,
Whole city look fine ‘til the spirits rise.
I ain’t ask for the crown, I just took that step,
When they call for a king, I ain’t even sweat.
They forgot what I am — now they pay that debt,
Every breath I take, yeah, I breathe regret.

[Bridge – Ghostly humming + soft rap]
“Shadow on my left, blade on my right…”
“Walkin’ through the night like the stars lost light…”
“You want power, but can’t pay the price…”

[Hook – Repeat, with layered harmonies and deeper 808s]
I been in the dark, made peace with the silence,
World in flames, but I walk like I’m timeless.
Yeah, I came back from the grave, no guidance,
Sword on my back and my soul full of violence.
I don’t bleed no more, I adapt,
Cross me once, ain’t no path lookin’ back.
Doors stay open, the world off track,
Veins of ash, but I still don’t crack.

[Outro – Piano fades, final whispered bar]
“You ain’t felt pain ‘til you smiled through war…”
