[Intro – rising confrontation]
[distorted guitar feedback]
[low rumbling synth drone]
[drums building intensity]
[reversed guitar swells]
You thought you could control me
Living inside my veins
Feeding on my weakness
Growing stronger through my pain
But something in me is waking
A fire you can't contain
[Verse – aggressive vocals]
Every lie you whispered
Every scar you carved in me
Every shadow you created
Every chain you thought I'd keep
I feel the anger rising
Breaking through the fear
All the poison you planted
Ends right here
[Pre-Chorus – tension building]
You tried to take my mind
You tried to steal my soul
But the deeper that you cut
The stronger I become
[Chorus – anthemic aggression]
This is the end of the betrayal
The end of every lie
Every shadow you built
Is finally going to die
This is the end of the betrayal
The end of the war inside
I'm tearing down the darkness
You tried so hard to hide
[Verse 2 – darker intensity]
I see you in the mirror
I hear you in my head
Every voice that tried to break me
Every word you said
But the fear is turning violent
The silence starts to crack
Everything you stole from me
I'm taking back
[Pre-Chorus – rising aggression]
You tried to take my mind
You tried to steal my soul
But the deeper that you cut
The stronger I become
[Chorus – heavier instrumentation]
This is the end of the betrayal
The end of every lie
Every shadow you built
Is finally going to die
This is the end of the betrayal
The end of the war inside
I'm tearing down the darkness
You tried so hard to hide
[Breakdown – defiant]
[guitars slam in]
[low tuned chugging riffs]
[half-time drums]
[distorted screams]
[band stops]
YOU DON'T CONTROL ME
[chugging riff hit]
YOU DON'T OWN MY MIND
[chugging riff hit]
EVERY LIE YOU BUILT
I LEAVE BEHIND
[band stops]
BETRAYAL'S END
[Outro – uneasy aftermath]
[heavy instruments fading]
[low synth drone slowly returning]
[distant echoing whispers]
The war is over…
[long pause]
The war is over…
[glitching whisper]
Or so I believed…
