Bleed the Cruel Fate

(Verse 1)

Under a sky painted red and gray

You stand tall, carrying a burden not your own

Your smile swallowed by the roaring storm

Every step you take carves a new wound in my soul

(Pre-Chorus)

I watch you slowly breaking in silent pain

Trapped inside these chains of endless dark

The world calls you a hero who’s already slain

But to me, you’re the only light I want to hold

(Chorus)

How do I bear this helpless feeling inside?

Watching you die for a world that doesn’t care

If saving you means I have to break you apart

Then let my hands be stained with sin for your heart

(Verse 2)

The night wind whispers names of those long gone

You force a fragile smile, pretending you’re strong

Your tired eyes still fight to carry on

A shield for a heart that never asked for this song

You say “this is fate,” but your voice begins to crack

I hear the fractures in every word you hide

Even the falling stars are weeping for your sake

But I refuse to be a spectator in your pain

(Pre-Chorus 2)

They praise your sacrifice, call it noble and grand

I just want you alive, not a statue in their hands

The world forgets heroes need someone to hold them tight

Not a blade in their chest or a cold crown every night

(Chorus)

How do I bear this helpless feeling inside?

Watching you die for a world that doesn’t care

If saving you means I have to break you apart

Then let my hands be stained with sin for your heart

(Bridge)

This lightning sword will sever the cruel fate

Even if my heart shatters, even if my soul drowns in hate

I won’t let you walk into that endless night

Let me be the sinner, as long as you survive

(Breakdown – slow & heavy)

Is this love selfish?

Maybe…

I don’t care anymore

Let the whole world burn

As long as you’re still breathing next to me

(Final Chorus – bigger, more powerful)

I can’t bear this helpless feeling anymore!

Watching you slowly die for a world that won’t remember your name

If saving you means I have to kill God Himself

Then let this hell be mine… if it keeps you safe!

(Outro)

(This helpless feeling…)

Sleep now, Kiana…

Let me carry this storm all alone

Let the cruel fate…

Bleed out on my blade.
