Born in the Collapse

Verse 1

I watched the kingdom disappear,

One burning crown at a time.

I heard the saints abandon us

When heaven crossed the line.

I carried every broken oath,

Every scar beneath my skin.

They called my silence weakness—

They never saw the war within.

I stood alone among the ruins,

With nothing left to save.

Then something in the ashes

Whispered from the grave.

Pre-Chorus

I don't need your forgiveness.

I don't need your light.

I learned to see clearly

When I was swallowed by the night.

Chorus

LET THE ASHES FALL.

I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.

LET THE OLD WORLD BURN.

I REFUSE TO WEAR ITS NOOSE.

You built these walls around me,

You thought they'd hold forever.

BUT I WAS BORN IN THE COLLAPSE.

AND I CAME BACK STRONGER.

Verse 2

I remember every voice

That told me I would fail.

Every hand that pushed me down,

Every door that locked the way.

You wanted me obedient,

You wanted me afraid.

But fear became a furnace

And I became the blade.

Now every scar is proof

That I survived your war.

You took everything I had—

So I became something more.

Pre-Chorus

I don't need your forgiveness.

I don't need your throne.

I built a kingdom from the pieces

You left me on my own.

Chorus

LET THE ASHES FALL.

I HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.

LET THE OLD WORLD BURN.

I REFUSE TO WEAR ITS NOOSE.

You built these walls around me,

You thought they'd hold forever.

BUT I WAS BORN IN THE COLLAPSE.

AND I CAME BACK STRONGER.

Bridge

If this is where the story ends,

Then let the final page ignite.

I would rather burn as myself

Than live another day disguised.

No gods above me.

No chains below.

Only the heartbeat

Of the man I chose to become.

Breakdown

YOU BROKE THE CROWN.

YOU BURIED THE KING.

YOU THOUGHT THE GRAVE

WOULD BURY EVERYTHING.

But hear me now—

From beneath the stone—

I BUILT MYSELF

FROM WHAT YOU THREW AWAY.

Final Chorus

LET THE ASHES FALL.

WATCH THEM DANCE ACROSS THE SKY.

LET THE OLD WORLD BURN.

I WAS NEVER BORN TO DIE.

Every scar became a weapon.

Every loss became a flame.

I WAS BORN INSIDE THE RUINS.

NOW REMEMBER MY NAME.

Outro

When the fire dies...

I will still be standing.

Not saved.

Not forgiven.

UNBROKEN.
