Lyrics:

I once believed my hands held fire
A lantern lifted through the mire
But every flame was doused in rain
Each spark became a brand of pain

I wore the mask of gods and kings
Clad in the shine of borrowed wings
But feathers rotted into stone
A gilded cage became my throne

The glass I carried split and bled
Each shard a promise left for dead
I pressed them close until they bit
And called the wounds a testament

The savior’s bones are glass and dust
The crown corrodes, the sword is rust
The altar where I swore to stand
Collapses underneath my hands

Ashes in the glass, a broken flame
A savior drowned without a name
The mirror screams, but won’t reveal
The hero I was meant to feel
I raised my arms, but they were weak
The light I swore was just a leak
And now the shards cut deeper still
A martyr made against my will

I kissed the void, I drank its smoke
Each vow I made returned a choke
The garden wilted, blackened roots
The harvest mocked its dying fruits

A thousand cries I swore to catch
Turned into chains that sealed the latch
The glass reflected not the flame
But fractured masks and hollow names

The savior’s bones are glass and dust
The altar burns, the prayers combust
The figure in the mirror’s frame
Is nothing but a ghost of shame

Ashes in the glass, a broken flame
A savior drowned without a name
The mirror screams, but won’t reveal
The hero I was meant to feel
I raised my arms, but they were weak
The light I swore was just a leak
And now the shards cut deeper still
A martyr made against my will

I was the saint they built from lies
A sacrifice to feed their eyes
But every blade they put in me
Has carved away divinity

Ashes in the glass, a broken flame
A savior drowned without a name
The crown is thorns, the sword is bone
The light was never mine alone
I mourn the ghost I could not be
The shattered lantern haunting me
The glass won’t heal, the wounds won’t close
A hero lost, a fraud exposed

Savior

Atlas I.
