[Verse 1]
They called him dangerous, they called him a threat
Drafted the sentence before the ink was wet
They built their altars on his broken spine
And called it justice, called it divine
I watched them pull the light out of his eyes
Wrapped up in sacred, polished little lies
If goodness means I stand by and agree
Then tear the altar down and start with me
[Pre-Chorus]
They want a monster to pin to the wall
I'll give them something that makes the sky fall
Hold my hand through the ash and the smoke
Watch them choke on every oath they broke
[Chorus]
I’ll burn the kingdom to keep you warm
I’ll be the shadow inside your storm
If saving you makes me the villain’s name
I’ll light the match and I’ll own the flame
Let the whole world bleed, let the towers crash
We’ll build our sanctuary in the ash
I’ll take the blame, I’ll take the blade
Watch the ruins of the life they made
[Verse 2]
Static in the air, glitching in the dark
Replacing every pulse with a violent spark
They drew the line, they picked the side
Now there’s nowhere left for them to hide
No forgiveness, no peaceful end
I was never meant to be their friend
I’ll strike every name that hurt your heart
Tear their fragile little world apart
[Pre-Chorus]
They want a monster to pin to the wall
I'll give them something that makes the sky fall
Hold my hand through the ash and the smoke
Watch them choke on every oath they broke
[Chorus]
I’ll burn the kingdom to keep you warm
I’ll be the shadow inside your storm
If saving you makes me the villain’s name
I’ll light the match and I’ll own the flame
Let the whole world bleed, let the towers crash
We’ll build our sanctuary in the ash
I’ll take the blame, I’ll take the blade
Watch the ruins of the life they made
[Bridge]
[Distorted bass drop, heavy glitching beats, dark atmospheric pads]
Let them call me evil, let them carve it in stone
You will never have to fight alone
I'll sink the ship, I'll poison the sea
If it keeps your eyes looking back at me
[Guitar Solo]
[Aggressive alternative rock riffs blended with harsh industrial synths]
[Chorus]
I’ll burn the kingdom to keep you warm
I’ll be the shadow inside your storm
If saving you makes me the villain’s name
I’ll light the match and I’ll own the flame
Let the whole world bleed, let the towers crash
We’ll build our sanctuary in the ash
I’ll take the blame, I’ll take the blade
Watch the ruins of the life they made
[Outro]
[Dark ambient textures, fading electronic static, whispered voice]
Let it burn.
Let them crash.
Just you and me in the ash.
[Fade out]
