[INTRO - NARRATION (DEEP MALE)]
They’re calling my name again
Same voices… same desperation
It used to mean something
Now it just sounds like noise
⸻
[CHOIR - DISTANT, ECHOING]
Save us…
We need you…
Don’t leave us…
Come back…
⸻
[VERSE 1]
I hear them through the silence still
Echoes bending to their will
Same old prayers I used to chase
Now they fade without a trace
I gave them everything I had
Every good and every bad
Now they’re screaming at the void
For the man they once destroyed
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
They want a hero
I’m just a shadow now
⸻
[CHORUS]
Let it crumble
Let it fall into the dust
I’m done bleeding for their trust
If they’re searching for a sign
They won’t find it here in mine
I won’t answer, I won’t run
I’m not their chosen one
Let it crumble
If it breaks, then let it be
It’s not my war, it’s not on me
⸻
[CHOIR - RISING, DESPERATE]
Save us… save us…
We’re falling… we’re falling…
Don’t leave us… don’t leave us…
We’re calling… we’re calling…
⸻
[VERSE 2]
They built their hope into my name
Then watched me drown inside the blame
Now they beg for my return
Like I forgot how bad it burned
Another hero, let them try
Another savior, let them rise
I won’t wear that crown again
I won’t break just to pretend
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
They want a hero
But I buried him instead
⸻
[CHORUS]
Let it crumble
Let it fall into the dust
I’m done bleeding for their trust
If they’re searching for a sign
They won’t find it here in mine
I won’t answer, I won’t run
I’m not their chosen one
Let it crumble
If it breaks, then let it be
It’s not my war, it’s not on me
⸻
[BRIDGE]
No more saving
No more lies
No more wearing their disguise
If the sky falls, let it break
I won’t move, I won’t take
⸻
[CHOIR - FINAL, FADING]
Save us…
Please…
Don’t go…
We need you…
⸻
[OUTRO - NARRATION (DEEP MALE)]
They’ll keep calling
And one day…
they’ll understand
Silence…
is my answer
Sanctuary
