Cast You Down

[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
