Cold steel in my veins, I can't feel my wings
Every spark they steal takes another thing
This crown weighs heavier than it ever did
Guess a throne means nothing when you're breaking like this
I hear your name in the hum of the light
In every scream this machine ignites
Funny how the world ends quiet and slow
And all I want is you to know
I tried to be strong, tried to rule alone
Built a kingdom from ash, called it home
But every choice just pulled us apart
And I lost you piece by piece, heart by heart
If you could see me now, chained and burning
Still loving you, still never learning
Would you turn away, or would you stay?
If you could hear me now, fading breath
I'd trade my crown, I'd trade what's left
Just to see your face one final day
Lilith, I never stopped loving you
I kept your ring like a promise made
Even when the love felt miles away
Charlie asks why I look so tired
How do I say hope's a thing that expired?
They call me king, but I feel so small
Just a man who failed the ones he swore to hold
Heaven took your fire, Hell took my spine
And now Vox is counting down my time
I should've listened when you cried
Should've stood beside you, not behind my pride
I thought forever meant we'd survive
But forever breaks when you're not kind
If you could see me now, chained and bleeding
Every regret finally screaming
Would you forgive the man I became?
If you could hear me now, losing light
I'd give it all, I'd give my life
Just to say your name again
Lilith, I still belong to you
This machine keeps pulling at my soul
Every memory's losing its hold
But I still see you in Eden's glow
Laughing like we didn't yet know
That love could turn into a war
That saving the world could cost us more
If this is where my story ends
Tell our daughter I loved her then
If you could see me now, on my last breath
No throne, no lies, just truth and death
Would you remember who I was?
If you could hear me now, as the light goes out
I'd whisper your name, no fear, no doubt
You were my home, you always was
Lilith, I wish I could see you one last time
The power fades, the silence stays
A broken king in fading chains
If love survives beyond this flame
I'll find you
I'll always say your name
