[Verse 1]
Scar on my skin
Burns like a brand
Name in their mouths
Fear in their hands
Dust in the halls where the portraits stare
They wrote my fate in the cold night air
[Pre-Chorus]
Every shadow knows my story
Every corner says my name
I was forged in other glory
But this war is not a game (not a game)
[Chorus]
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
Raised by the chill of a cursed remark
You drew the mark
Then you lit the spark
Now I’m coming like a storm through your blackened heart
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
You made a legend just to tear apart
Hear the echo in the shattered glass
I’m the boy who lived
The boy who lived in the dark
[Verse 2]
Ink on a page
Blood in the lines
Graveyard earth where our destinies twine
Friends at my back
Ghosts at my side
I’ve buried too much to keep running and hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Every hallway hums with secrets
Every mirror shows the cost
If I step across this threshold
Something wins and someone’s lost (someone’s lost)
[Chorus]
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
Raised by the chill of a cursed remark
You drew the mark
Then you lit the spark
Now I’m coming like a storm through your blackened heart
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
You made a legend just to tear apart
Hear the echo in the shattered glass
I’m the boy who lived
The boy who lived in the dark
[Bridge]
Take my name from your fearful tongue (hey!)
Take your crown from the dead you hung
If it ends with me
Then it ends tonight
Face to face in the dying light
[Chorus]
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
Raised by the chill of a cursed remark
You drew the mark
Then you lit the spark
Now I’m coming like a storm through your blackened heart
I’m the boy who lived in the dark
You made a legend just to tear apart
Hear the echo in the shattered glass
I’m the boy who lived
The boy who lived in the dark (in the dark)
