Cast You Down by DakotiakBear - Zona

Lyrics

[INTRO – SCREAM (LOW, SPAT)]

⸻

[VERSE 1 – SCREAM (MID → HIGH, RHYTHMIC)]

You sold the lie, you sold the fear

You fed the dark, you kept it near

You wore a crown you never earned

A stolen throne, a bridge you burned

You call it truth, you call it choice

But all I hear’s a shaking voice

You hide your chains in hollow flame

But light remembers every name

⸻

[PRE-CHORUS – SCREAM (RISING, ANGRY)]

You said kneel down, you said obey

But heaven doesn’t bend that way

You raise your hands, you play divine

But judgment’s patient, time is time

⸻

[CHORUS – SCREAM (FULL FORCE, COMMANDING)]

I won’t bow down to a fallen king

I won’t give praise to a broken thing

You’re not the light, you’re not the way

Just a shadow that decays

So hear me now, I stand my ground

This holy fire’s gonna burn you down

You claimed the pit, you claimed the flame

Now wear the weight of your own name

⸻

[POST-CHORUS / SIGNATURE – CLEAN (COLD, CONTROLLED, DEFYING)]

Here am I

Take me to the pearly gates

So I can look up in Your eyes

While I bow down in grace

⸻

[VERSE 2 – SCREAM (BITTER, ACCUSATORY)]

You preach revolt, you preach the fall

But you’ve been running since the call

You don’t create, you only bend

Every truth toward your own end

You call it strength, you call it war

But heaven’s knocking at your door

You taste defeat in every breath

You lost the fight the moment—faith

⸻

[PRE-CHORUS – SCREAM (TIGHT, SPITTING)]

You promise crowns, you promise fire

But all you rule is your desire

You lift your voice, but it rings thin

A false command wrapped up in sin

⸻

[CHORUS – SCREAM (UNHINGED, OPEN THROAT)]

I won’t bow down to a fallen king

I won’t give praise to a broken thing

You’re not the light, you’re not the way

Just a shadow that decays

So hear me now, I stand my ground

This holy fire’s gonna burn you down

You claimed the pit, you claimed the flame

Now wear the weight of your own name

⸻

[BREAKDOWN – SCREAM (VERY LOW, PUNISHING)]

You wanted worship

You wanted fear

You wanted heaven

But God is here

You wanted souls

You wanted praise

But truth cuts deeper

Than all your blades

⸻

[BRIDGE – SCREAM (HALF-TIME, MENACING)]

You were never crowned

You were cast away

You were never chosen

You turned away

You don’t rule life

You don’t rule death

You just steal breath

That isn’t left

⸻

[FINAL CHORUS – SCREAM (MAX INTENSITY, NO CLEANS)]

I won’t bow down to a fallen king

I won’t give praise to a broken thing

Your empire cracks beneath His name

No throne survives eternal flame

So hear me now, I stand my ground

This holy fire’s gonna burn you down

You wanted hell, you wanted fame

Now face the light, remember your name

⸻

[OUTRO – SCREAM (SLOW, FINAL, EMPTY)]

No crown

No throne

Only judgment

And you alone
