Lyrics:

Verse:
Beneath the crimson sky, the earth devours the dead
Steel and flesh entwined in ruin, a testament to dread
I feel the iron bite my soul, my strength begins to wane
Yet I have lived a righteous path, through sacrifice and pain
The cries of men are fading fast, drowned by the thunder’s call
While shadows rise like specters grim to witness as I fall
I served the light, I bore its weight, my faith a sacred shield
But here I lie, abandoned now, upon this bloodied field

Chorus:
Oh, where is the light that once guided my hand?
Why has it faltered, forsaking its stand?
The prayers I’ve whispered now scatter like ash
My life’s devotion undone in this clash
Is this the design of the heavens above?
A cruel, silent test of the faith that I love?
If so, then reveal what meaning remains
For I am a pawn in unyielding chains

Verse:
Each wound I bore, a testament, to faith’s undying creed
Yet now I bleed, unanswered still, abandoned in my need
Through fire’s wrath and winter’s bite, my banner never fell
I knelt before no mortal throne, no tyrant’s bitter spell
The sword I wielded bore your name, each strike a hymn divine
But now its edge is dulled by doubt, its burden solely mine
The winds lament, a dirge for me, the damned, the cast aside
And in their wail, I hear the truth: the gods themselves have lied

Chorus:
Oh, where is the mercy that softened my fear?
Why is its silence the last thing I hear?
The stars above shatter, their purpose unknown
The heavens grow colder, as I die alone
My cries are unanswered, my faith turns to dust
The blade of betrayal has severed my trust
No whispers of solace, no angel appears
Only the echoes of my wasted years

Bridge:
Do you see me, angels? Or am I unseen?
We see your struggle, your pain’s in between
Was I betrayed, or is this fate’s decree?
The light endures beyond what you can see
But why this torment, this bitter demise?
Through trials of shadow, the faithful will rise
Rise to what purpose? My strength fades to none
Beyond the horizon, your journey’s not done
Is there redemption for those left to bleed?
The light you have carried will sow the last seed
Then take me swiftly; my time here is through
Your faith shall ascend where the stars guide you true

Final Chorus:
Oh, now as the darkness consumes my last breath
I see the beginning within this death
The light still flickers, though faint and unsure
A whisper of purpose that struggles to endure
No longer forsaken, my burden is done
The battlefield fades in the glow of the sun
The faith I have carried shall rise from this grave
As I am no longer betrayed by the light I gave
