Ripped Away

[Intro]
[guitar feedback
Slow build with pounding toms]
Ripped away torn at the seams
Shattered fatherhood shattered dreams
The gavel's echo still rings mean
[Verse 1]
They call it justice I call it theft
Left me hollow nothing left
My boy’s laughter now a ghost
The court took him gave the worst host
Her lies spun thick like blackened rope
They swallowed her story killed my hope
[Pre-Chorus]
I screamed for mercy I begged for truth
The system grinned and broke my roots
[Chorus]
Ripped away my blood my son
Stolen light from the only one
Her shadow's crawling swallowed the sun
Ripped away ripped away I'm undone
[Verse 2]
She vanished like smoke no trace no trail
A mother’s love turned bitter betrayal
Every door I knock is a wall of stone
Chasing echoes of a life I’ve known
His face in dreams but it won’t stay
The court erased me like I’m clay
[Pre-Chorus]
I claw through the dark I fight the void
But every hope gets destroyed
