I wake up in the fire of a half-dead dream
Ghosts in the mirror staring back at me
Every promise carved in stone then shattered by time
I hear the choir of the damned screaming you’re not fine
Blood on the hands of the ones I trusted
Hearts full of venom, faith corrupted
I tried to run but the walls close in
This war inside me—let it begin
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been dragged through hell and back again
Still breathing in the smoke of my sins
If this is fate, then I’ll defy
I won’t kneel—no, not tonight
Chorus
I’M BURIED IN THE ECHO OF THE SCREAMS I’VE MADE
A BROKEN HALO, A SOUL IN FLAMES
I WALK THE LINE BETWEEN DEAD AND ALIVE
IF THIS IS THE END, THEN I’LL GO DOWN FIGHTING
BURIED IN THE ECHO—
BUT I’M NOT ASHAMED
Verse 2
Crown of thorns pressed into my skull
Every step forward feels hollow and cold
They said “follow the light,” but it led me astray
Now I carve my own path through the disarray
Ashes fall like rain from the sky
I’ve watched too many angels die
No forgiveness, no second chance
Just broken bones and a final stand
Pre-Chorus
I’ve tasted death, I’ve felt the pain
Still standing tall in the hurricane
If I burn, then let me glow
I won’t fade—I’ll let you know
Chorus
I’M BURIED IN THE ECHO OF THE SCREAMS I’VE MADE
A BROKEN HALO, A SOUL IN FLAMES
I WALK THE LINE BETWEEN DEAD AND ALIVE
IF THIS IS THE END, THEN I’LL GO DOWN FIGHTING
BURIED IN THE ECHO—
BUT I’M NOT ASHAMED
Bridge (Clean → Build)
If I fall… don’t pray for me
I chose this path, I chose to bleed
No chains, no gods, no destiny
Just scars that prove I’m finally free
Breakdown (Screamed)
NO MERCY
NO PEACE
I’VE GOT THE DEVIL ON HIS KNEES
NO SAVIOR
NO LIES
JUST VIOLENCE IN MY VEINS TONIGHT

(Dual harmonized leads, melodic but shreddy, classic A7X feel)
Final Chorus
I’M BURIED IN THE ECHO OF THE SCREAMS I’VE MADE
A BROKEN HALO, A SOUL UNCHAINED
I WALK THE LINE BETWEEN DEAD AND ALIVE
IF THIS IS THE END, THEN I’LL GO DOWN FIGHTING
BURIED IN THE ECHO—
REMEMBER MY NAME
Outro
Let the world burn
I’ll rise from the flame
