After He Left

Intro – 8s, low pulse]

He said the hero’s name…

Like I wouldn’t feel it.

⸻

Doors closed, room still shaking,

City quiet but my patience breaking,

I gave them nights without the screams,

They still chasing childish dreams.

I bled for this, I paid the cost,

Built an empire from what they lost,

Now one man talking like hope ain’t dead,

Like ghosts don’t stay where they’re buried at.

They forget who held the line,

When heroes fell, I stood my ground,

Now Isaiah walking fearless here,

Like fear ain’t the reason they still around.

⸻

Say his name, it cuts too deep,

Old scars never really sleep,

I burned that symbol, watched it fall—

I won’t let it rise at all.

⸻

I am the order in the flame,

I am the truth they’re too scared to name,

Hope is a spark that ruins control,

I crush it fast before it grows.

They want a savior, dressed in light,

I gave them peace every single night,

Let them whisper legends if they choose—

I’ll remind the city who they lose.

⸻

I hear the streets start to breathe again,

That’s how rebellion always begins,

A little faith, a reckless smile,

Next thing you know it’s chaos wild.

I won’t debate what must be done,

I don’t need love—I already won,

I’ll flood the alleys with my eyes,

Snuff the rumor, kill the rise.

If heroes crawl back from the dark,

I’ll meet them there and break the spark,

This crown ain’t built for sharing space,

It’s forged in fear, it stays in place.

⸻

I am the order in the flame,

I am the truth they’re too scared to name,

Hope is a spark that ruins control,

I crush it fast before it grows.

They want a savior, halo bright,

I gave them peace in endless night,

Let them pray for myths to choose—

I’ll remind the city who they lose.

⸻

Isaiah thinks he walks between,

Light and dark, safe and clean,

But lines get drawn when fires spread,

And hope leaves bodies when it’s fed.

⸻

Let the hero crawl back into view,

Let Isaiah try what he’ll do,

I don’t fear ghosts or second tries—

I end stories…

Before they rise.
