Lyrics

[INTRO]
In the shadow of your power, I stood still,
Lost in the echoes of your iron will.
I dared to speak, but then fell silent,
As you turned my heart into your violent pilot.

[VERSE 1]
I dared to question, to defy,
But in your grip, I closed my eye.
You took your holy cross of steel,
And with its point, you made me kneel.
Between my brow and fragile mind,

Yet never freed from all my fears.

Your scriptures whispered, weighing on my veins.

[BRIDGE]

As you carved your truths, but where to begin?
In the silence of the powerless night,
I wrestle with shadows, yearning for light.
Am I the sinner, or are you the thief,
Stealing my spirit, denying relief?

[CHORUS]
In the sacred flames, you burned my name,
Stripped away my sin, ignited shame.
Each prayer a noose, I’m trapped inside,
Searching for solace while nowhere to hide.
In your holy war, I found my chains,
Your scriptures whispered, weighing on my veins.

[OUTRO]
You carved your truths into my
