[Intro – Soft, Clean Electric Guitar]
[Lonely fingerpicked electric guitar, slow tempo]
[Verse 1 – Soft, Haunted]
Shadows crawl across my ceiling,
I taste the iron in my breath.
All the sins I thought were buried,
Rise again to dance with death.
Faces fade and hearts decay,
They drag me down in broken chains...
And all I have to offer now,
Are ashes where my soul had stayed.
[Pre-Chorus – Tension Building]
If mercy knew my name,
Would it still answer when I cry?
[Chorus – Heavy Distorted Guitar Kicks In]
If I could,
I’d tear these scars into a better ending.
If I could,
I’d mend the hearts I left pretending.
If time would bleed into my hands,
I'd make a stand, I'd understand—
If I could…
If I could...
[Verse 2 – Clean Guitar, Darker Feel]
The angel stands in growing silence,
A judgment carved inside his eyes.
I sold my soul for empty prizes,
Now I'm the one who's left to die.
If I could break these rusted chains,
If I could steal one breath of grace—
I'd trade the night, I'd trade the pain,
To wear a light upon my face.
[Pre-Chorus – Building Tension]
If mercy had a voice,
Would it still sing for a ghost?
[Chorus – Heavier, More Intense]
If I could,
I’d rise above the lies I once defended.
If I could,
I'd heal the dreams I left upended.
If time would bend for broken men,
I'd start again, I'd start again—
If I could…
If I could...
[Bridge – Guitar Solo, Emotional and Angry]
[Screaming lead guitar solo]
[Final Chorus – Explosive Emotion]
If I could,
I'd carve a future from the ashes burning.
If I could,
I'd stop these endless wheels from turning.
But fate is blind and time is cold,
And I'm too tired to break the mold—
If I could…
If I could...
[Outro – Slow Clean Guitar, Whispered Voice]
(Music slowly dies down to soft clean guitar)
If I could…
But I can’t anymore...
[Fades into silence]
