Verse 1
I walked the path you feared to name
Each step paid in loss and flame
Every dream I had to cut
Just to see what I become
Pre-Chorus
No rise without the scar
No crown without the cost
The power taking form
Is blood
Chorus
This is bloodbound ascension
No mercy in the climb
I trade my past for tension
And carve my fate in time
Every wound — a revelation
Every fall — a sign
This is bloodbound ascension
And I am crossing the line
Verse 2
Hands still shaking, eyes still wide
I didn’t pray — I sacrificed
If this path devours me
Then let it know I chose to bleed
Bridge (ruhig → Build)
If pain is proof I’m alive
Then let it burn me divine
Final Chorus
This is bloodbound ascension
I rise through what I’ve lost
I am forged, not forgiven
I pay the final cost
