[Intro – Heavy breathing, distant thunder]
Why are you still standing like that?
Like you’re better than me.
⸻
[Verse 1 – Red POV, furious grief]
You wear my face like it’s a scar,
Like losing them made you strong,
But look around — look how far
You let it fall.
Seven graves beneath your sky,
Darius bled and you survived,
Seris burned and you let her die —
And call that strength?
You say you endured the flame,
But you erased every name,
You didn’t carry the pain —
You buried it.
Don’t tell me this was fate.
Don’t tell me this was too late.
You didn’t fight to save —
You fought to stop feeling.
⸻
[Chorus 1 – Explosive]
You took everything from us,
Turned love into dust,
Turned iron into rust —
And call it survival.
You killed the man we were,
Left only something blurred,
If this is what you prefer —
It’s hollow.
⸻
[Verse 2 – Black POV, breaking]
You think I don’t remember?
You think I don’t still hear her?
Seris screaming in December —
Over and over.
You think Darius’ shield don’t crack
Inside my chest when I look back?
You think I chose this black —
Like it was easy?
You weren’t there when hope collapsed,
When every prayer came back unanswered,
When mercy turned to aftermath —
And nothing changed.
I didn’t take everything.
I lost everything.
And I kept standing.
⸻
[Chorus 2 – Raw]
You say I’m what you fear to be,
But I’m what grief did to me,
When there was no divinity —
Left.
You still carry red inside,
But red fades when it’s denied,
You haven’t watched it die —
Yet.
⸻
[Bridge – Full Emotional Breakdown]
(Guitars swell, drums heavy)
YOU CALL ME MONSTER —
LOOK IN YOUR VEINS.
YOU CALL ME BROKEN —
WE SHARE THE SAME.
YOU THINK YOU’RE STRONGER
CAUSE YOU STILL BLEED —
(SCREAM)
WAIT UNTIL IT’S ALL YOU SEE.
⸻
[Chorus 3 – Devastating]
You took everything, you scream,
But I became the thing
That grief would always bring —
Eventually.
Two flames born from loss and fire,
One still fights, one buried higher,
If one of us is a liar —
It’s hope.
⸻
[Outro – Quiet, shaking]
They stand inches apart.
Neither speaking.
Both crying.
The black sun flickers.
The red sun falters.
