THE STAIN

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was standing on a cracked throne, the sky turned black, A whisper in the wind, “I’ll be like God, take your hand.” It wasn’t a mistake, it was a battle born, From a divine spark that fell to stone. The serpent slid in, slick with promises, “Free yourselves,” it hissed, a silent chorus. And the stain spread, like ink on a page, A darkened pulse that set the stage. [Pre‑Chorus] White turned to black, the pure turned to ash, A shadow crept across the world’s own map. [Chorus] The stain! It won’t fade, it won’t escape, It runs through my veins, a fire I can’t unmake. The stain! It cuts and it divides, Took my Eden, left my soul inside. The stain! [Verse 2] I heard the footsteps, the hush before the fall, We hid, we trembled, the fear of first exposure. We looked at our hands, dirt in the glow, Shame wrapped in naked truth that we’d not show. “Where are you?” you cried, the question left unsaid, It wasn’t ignorance, it was the road we’d fled. We were no longer in the place you’d dreamt, In that forgotten garden, our light had been spent. [Pre‑Chorus] White turned to black, the pure turned to ash, A shadow crept across the world’s own map. [Chorus] The stain! It won’t fade, it won’t escape, It runs through my veins, a fire I can’t unmake. The stain! It cuts and it divides, Took my Eden, left my soul inside. The stain! [Bridge] I scrub, I pray, the water turns to ash, Cover it up, it shows a darker flash. I push and pull, the deeper I go, I can’t find my way back to what I know. I’m drowning in this silent scream. [Breakdown] No, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t erase this scar. [Chorus – higher key] The stain! I need someone to wash me clean, I need a savior, a light to redeem. Take away this mark that kills my breath, Bring back my Eden, give me fresh depth. The stain! [Outro] Silence shatters, the echo fades to black. The light flickers out. The curtain falls.
