Name: the Burden by Håkan Rosenstam
Duration: 3 min 55 s
Description: This song turns scars into strength, portraying how the echoes of the past shape the voice of tomorrow.

When winning is the only thing, you already lost something.
A cinematic glitch-track about pressure, ego, and why the grind hits different when no one’s watching.

Life’s Just a Game

My Demons...

My demons...

This song turns scars into strength, portraying how the echoes of the past shape the voice of tomorrow.

the Burden

A deeply emotional lament set in the war-torn Gaza Strip, the song follows a narrator walking through devastation, grief, and spiritual silence. Each verse reveals scenes of loss—children fallen, prayers unanswered, memories buried in rubble. The narrator questions a god beyond all known names, asking why such suffering was allowed. The song builds from quiet reflection to a desperate cry for justice and meaning, culminating in a haunting outro that echoes through the silence of destruction.

Ashes of the Holy

Intro  
“This is not a prayer.  
This is not a hymn.  
This is the sound of what’s left…  
when even God won’t answer.”

Verse 1  
I walked the mile where the children fell  
Dust in my lungs, silence in the shell  
Walls like ghosts, crying names they knew  
No sky above, just a war-stained blue  

Verse 2  
Shoes in the rubble, a doll with no face  
A prayer half-whispered in a shattered place  
I touched the stone where a mother wept  
Her son still warm, where the fire crept  

Pre-Chorus 1  
And I called to the god beyond the names  
Beyond the books, beyond the blame  
Not Allah, not Yahweh, not the cross  
But the one who watched, and let it be lost  

Chorus 1  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you turn away?  
Every breath here is broken  
Every night bleeds into day  
If you are love, then show me  
If you are light, then shine  
I’m walking through your silence  
One grave at a time  

Verse 3  
A boy drew stars on a concrete wall  
Before the tanks came to take it all  
He sang of peace in a tongue now banned  
His voice still echoes through the sand  

Pre-Chorus 2  
I screamed through the smoke, but no one came  
No thunder, no sign, just more of the same  
I begged the sky to break its vow  
But silence is all I’m hearing now  

Chorus 2  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you stay so still?  
The prayers are made of ashes  
The prophets die at will  
If you are love, then break now  
If you are truth, then speak  
I’m walking through your silence  
Where even angels weep  

Bridge  
I would give my blood to rewind the flame  
To lift the veil, to speak your name  
But you stay hidden, behind the smoke  
While prophets burn and prayers choke  

Final Chorus  
Why did you let this happen?  
Why did you close your eyes?  
Every soul here is pleading  
Every truth wears a disguise  
If you are love, then answer  
If you are just, then cry  
I’m walking through your silence  
One grave at a time  

Outro  
“One grave at a time…  
One grave at a time…  
One grave…  
at a time…”

Ashes of the Holy

Music & Lyrics ‘The Mirror of Love’ by ARGYTACT 

My dearest, these are the words
I found in the silence, far from the loudest chords.
No judgment hides within these notes, only the light,
Of a love that sees you whole, stripped of all right.
I've come to know my own shadow, the darkest of parts,
And thus I dare, without fear, to lay open my heart.
I share this not to accuse, but because truth offers a path—
A freedom to love without the constant aftermath.

Through a thousand rooms of my past I once did roam,
A soul in search of worth, on unstable ground far from home.
My heart an open wound, susceptible to every pain,
The Redeemer in me watched, silent and subtle, fueled by strain.
I learned my value lay in every storm that I subdued,
And in that chaos, I knew who I was, my self-worth imbued.

For I was, my dearest, addicted to the struggle and the fray,
The adrenaline was my comfort, my constant stay.
It was the only language my formative years had taught,
A chemical yearning, for stillness and rest was sought.
I looked for external chaos, to distract from the void,
An invisible force that my life consistently employed.

And in your eyes, I found the echo of my deepest strife,
An invitation to rewrite the past, to fix my former life.
But now I see that my mission sustained your pain and fear,
My love for you made you strong enough to stand, yet kept you near.
I realize that my striving inadvertently fed the storm,
Allowing the trauma to persist, keeping your spirit warm.

My own path traversed through mist and through deep regret,
Through introspection, I learned the quiet voice to let.
And every lyric I now write is pure, honest, and plain,
The truth is the only boundary I allow to remain.
Your love is my true anchor, the melody that feeds my soul,
But the chaos, residing within, seeks to take its toll.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

And I see now, my love, why you cannot fully hear my song,
For the truth of your own sorrow is where your pain belongs.
I accept that your trauma holds you closed, keeping fear in sight,
And that you cannot grant me the listener's perfect, full light.
But I will never again permit the aggression or the lies to remain,
For my love for you must never invalidate my self-sovereign reign.

The desire for a child, a heavy burden we both bear,
But love is responsibility, and safety we must share.
I set that cherished dream aside, for the sake of our peace,
Refusing to burden your health, seeking our own release.
We are already whole, my dearest, in the love that is here,
And our worth stands complete, unmarred by this sorrowful fear.

My heart chooses you, the person whom I clearly see,
But my soul, my spirit, chooses safety and stability.
I stay, but I lay down the exhausting role of the Redeemer, forevermore.
I am your partner, not your therapist; that is the oath I now swear.
This is not fleeing the battle, but embracing the higher cause,
For in this clarity, our truest love blossoms beyond all flaws.

The mirror of my love reflects the shadow and the light,
No judgment in my eyes, only a vision clear and bright.
For true love overcomes, so profound and deeply pure,
That even the greatest dream, for peace we must endure.
I accept you, my dearest, till the very end of time,
But at the edge of chaos, I halt this inner paradigm.

Dearest, our journey continues, guided by new rules of respect and calm.
I faced my own trauma addiction; now it is time to lay down your alarm.
Your healing is your path alone, and my love will be the guiding flame,
Not to change you, but to help you find the way, far from shame.
In love, forever, with all the strength that within me dwells.
I remain, but I demand peace.

I Can`t Live Without You | Gothic Rock Ballad - MV

Text:
[Verse]
I wake up to the sound of my own beat
It’s my anthem my heart won’t skip a repeat
The mirror’s my stage
My voice on replay

[Chorus]
Obsessed with my music
Can’t turn it down
It’s my life
My rhythm
My crown
Every note
Every line
It’s who I am
Obsessed with my music
That’s my jam

(solo)

[Verse 2]
My speakers shake walls
My shadow grooves
Every chord I write
The earth moves
I’m the DJ of my dreams
No one can compare

[Bridge]
It’s my pulse
My light
My fire tonight
When I sing
The stars ignite
My music’s my magic
My truth
My fight

[Chorus]
Obsessed with my music
Can’t turn it down
It’s my life
My rhythm
My crown
Every note
Every line
It’s who I am
Obsessed with my music
That’s my jam

(solo)

[Chorus]
Obsessed with my music
Can’t turn it down
It’s my life
My rhythm
My crown
Every note
Every line
It’s who I am
Obsessed with my music
That’s my jam

Obsessed with my Music

Guard This House

This is the apology that shouldn’t have to exist… but does, because you’ve been conditioned to say it.
It’s fragile, trembling, ashamed, exhausted — but still full of longing to be understood.

Sorry for the Mess

THE DAY HEAVEN STOLE YOU
