[A gritty, discordant riff tears through, raw and unfiltered, like the breaking of chains and the weight of old wounds. The beat pounds heavy, relentless, echoing a heart torn from belief.]
Verse 1
Raised in walls that preached the light, taught to trust what I can’t see,
But in that blind devotion, I found nothing left for me.
Lost my mother, lost my soul, prayed to God to make me whole,
But silence echoed in my grief, no comfort for the scarred and weak.
Breakdown
Where were you, when I begged for a sign?
When hope ran dry, and love declined?
They said you’d lift the broken ones,
But left me shattered, choking, done.
Chorus
Fallen faith, abandoned creed,
Truth was buried, left to bleed.
Built my strength from empty words,
Burned the faith that I once served.
Verse 2
Saw friends judged, cast aside, for loving in their way,
By those who claimed that mercy shines, yet turned their backs each day.
I watched them pray for fire to cleanse, for sin to be erased,
But found myself in anger’s grip, the lies and shame I faced.
Bridge
Where’s the love they swore was true?
Empty words they never knew.
I cried for grace, I searched for peace,
But found release in disbelief.
Chorus
Fallen faith, abandoned creed,
Truth was buried, left to bleed.
Built my strength from empty words,
Burned the faith that I once served.
Breakdown 2
This is my exodus, my severed ties,
In ashes left of holy lies.
No guilt, no shame, no fear remains,
Just scars of chains and empty names.
Verse 3
In loss, in grief, in silent night, I walked alone, embraced the fight,
No longer bound by unseen hands, I rose and built my own commands.
I took my strength, I took my pain, forged my path outside the frame,
In freedom’s fire, I found my voice, beyond the walls, beyond the noise.
Final Chorus
Fallen faith, abandoned creed,
Truth was buried, left to bleed.
Now I rise from all I’ve burned,
Unbound, unshackled, I’ve returned.
Outro
[A final, crushing breakdown – guitars distorted and raw, echoing a hard-won freedom, the end of faith but the start of strength. The silence that follows feels full, like a breath after years of holding back.]
