Rise of the Forgotten

Intro

Before the sun could touch my skin,

Before the world could let me in,

I died beneath a newborn cry...

Then crawled back from the other side.

Verse 1

A borrowed breath, a second chance,

A fragile life in death's cold hands.

The doctors said I'd never grow,

A broken mind, a life unknown.

But I was breathing, I was here,

A child already born in fear.

And in the home that should've saved me,

I was the mistake they couldn't face.

Pre-Chorus

Who decides the worth of a soul

When it's condemned before it grows?

You gave me scars, you gave me pain...

I forged a crown from every chain!

Chorus

I AM THE BOY WHO STOLE THE DARKNESS!

THE ONE YOU SWORE WOULD NEVER RISE!

I CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE OF SILENCE,

WITH A KINGDOM BURNING IN MY EYES!

I FOUGHT THE WARS YOU NEVER WITNESSED!

I BLED BENEATH A SMILING FACE!

YOU LEFT ME CRAWLING IN THE SHADOWS,

NOW WATCH ME TAKE MY RIGHTFUL PLACE!

Verse 2

I buried every broken feeling,

And locked the screaming deep inside.

A thousand battles without witnesses,

A thousand wounds I learned to hide.

I wore a smile like forged armor,

A perfect mask, a flawless lie.

While something underneath was dying,

I told the world that I was fine.

Pre-Chorus

I never asked to be forgiven!

I never begged to be set free!

You gave me every reason to surrender,

But surrender wasn't meant for me!

Chorus

I AM THE BOY WHO STOLE THE DARKNESS!

THE ONE YOU SWORE WOULD NEVER RISE!

I CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE OF SILENCE,

WITH A KINGDOM BURNING IN MY EYES!

I FOUGHT THE WARS YOU NEVER WITNESSED!

I BLED BENEATH A SMILING FACE!

YOU LEFT ME CRAWLING IN THE SHADOWS,

NOW WATCH ME TAKE MY RIGHTFUL PLACE!

Bridge

Would you have loved me if I was perfect?

Would you have held me if I was whole?

Was I a child who needed saving,

Or just a burden on your soul?

I searched for love in empty places,

And found myself alone again.

Breakdown

NO MORE BEGGING!

NO MORE CHAINS!

I AM THE FIRE!

I AM THE FLAME!

YOU DON'T DEFINE ME!

YOU DON'T OWN ME!

THE BOY YOU BURIED

BECAME THE KING!

Final Chorus

I AM THE BOY WHO STOLE THE DARKNESS!

THE ONE DEATH COULDN'T KEEP BELOW!

I TURNED MY SUFFERING TO POWER,

AND MADE A CROWN FROM ALL MY WOES!

I FOUGHT THE WARS YOU NEVER WITNESSED!

I CARRIED HELL BENEATH MY SKIN!

YOU THOUGHT MY STORY ENDED AT BIRTH,

BUT THAT'S WHERE MY STORY BEGINS!

I AM THE LIFE YOU NEVER WANTED,

AND I CLAIM WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MY OWN!

Outro

I died before I ever knew this world...

They brought me back.

They said I wouldn't make it.

They said I was a mistake.

But I survived.

You gave me darkness...

I took the throne.
