Form of Flame by Stahlkrieg - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1 – Rap]

I swallowed truth till it broke my bones

Wore every lie like it was my own

You carved your name inside my chest

Told me pain would teach me what’s best

I played the part, but I lost the script

Now I’m standing in a ruin I built

I stayed in silence, but you screamed my name

Now all I hear is the sound of shame

[Pre-Chorus – Sung]

Pressure building in my veins

I try to fight it, try to stay

But every word you throw at me

Is like a fire I can’t breathe

[Chorus – Sung]

Don’t call this healing—it’s survival

Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice

You left your echo in my silence

Now every scream is shaped like your voice

You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing

But ash can hold the form of flame

I never wanted to be a weapon

But you taught me how to aim

[Verse 2 – Rap]

I buried truth beneath the weight

Made peace with lies that sealed my fate

I tried to build, but you tore it down

And claimed that I was the one who drowned

I wore your judgment like a chain

Held the blame when you couldn’t explain

But I’m done pretending you were right

Now I’m burning every lie you’d write

[Pre-Chorus – Sung]

Pressure building in my veins

I try to fight it, try to stay

But every word you throw at me

Is like a fire I can’t breathe

[Chorus – Sung]

Don’t call this healing—it’s survival

Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice

You left your echo in my silence

Now every scream is shaped like your voice

You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing

But ash can hold the form of flame

I never wanted to be a weapon

But you taught me how to aim

[Bridge – Screamed + Layered Vocals]

You built your cage, now watch me break

This time it’s my turn, no more fake

You said I’d crumble—watch me rise

The fire inside? It’s my surprise

I’m not what broke—

I’m what survived

I’m not the shell—

I’m what’s alive

You wanted fire?

Well, you’ll get the heat

This is the cost of what you made of me

[Final Chorus – Sung with layered harmonies, screams underneath]

Don’t call this healing—it’s survival

Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice

You left your echo in my silence

Now every scream is shaped like your voice

You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing

But ash can hold the form of flame

I never wanted to be a weapon

But you taught me how to aim

[Outro – Soft Male Vocals, Fading with Ambient Guitar]

You carved your guilt into my skin

But I’m not broken—this is where I begin

Ashes fall where your name once stood

But I’m still rising...

Still unbroken.
