I walk the dark

Boots on broken glass, blood beneath the rain

Carrying the burden, dragging every chain

I learned to wear the silence like a second skin

While the world kept turning, I buried what had been

Every scar a promise carved into my bones

Every road I traveled, I walked alone

But I won’t let the fire die inside my chest

If I fall tonight, I gave this life my best

I became the shadow

So they could find the dawn

I held the line in hell

When all the hope was gone

I walk in the dark

So others see the light

Bearing all the wounds

Through every endless night

I carry the pain

I face the cold alone

If my soul must burn

Then let their hearts come home

I walk in the dark

I walk in the dark

I’ve seen the empty faces, hollowed by defeat

Watched the lost and broken collapse into the street

So I became the fire hidden in the storm

A shelter for the weak when the world turned cold

No crown upon my head

No glory in my name

Just a man against oblivion

Standing in the flames

I became the silence

That swallowed all the fear

A ghost inside the night

Still standing here

I walk in the dark

So others see the light

Bearing all the wounds

Through every endless night

I carry the pain

I face the cold alone

If my soul must burn

Then let their hearts come home

I AM THE WALL BETWEEN

THE VOID AND EVERYTHING

THE LAST BREATH

THE FINAL SHIELD

I bleed so they can heal

I break so they can stand

Even if the darkness

Is all that I am

I walk in the dark

So others see the light

Through all the suffering

I’ll keep the flame alive

And when my body fades

And ashes fill the sky

They’ll know somebody stood

Between them and the night

So carve my name in stone

Or let the world forget

I gave my soul to the shadows

Without regret…
