Lifted the Veil

The Sacrificial Pawn is a soul-piercing concept playlist that explores the agony of spiritual burden, emotional martyrdom, and the quiet heroism of internal suffering. Each track unravels the psyche of a character who bleeds so others don’t have to—trapped in chains of guilt, pain, and broken promises.

From the visceral confession of “Penance” to the desperate emptiness of “I Have Nothing Left,” the playlist crescendos into the apocalyptic grief of “Epilogue After the Great Collapse” and ends on the fragile hope of “Promise.”

This collection is for those drawn to poetic lyricism, psychological depth, and cinematic emotional arcs. Fans of concept albums that blend theology, trauma, and sacrifice will find a kindred spirit in The Sacrificial Pawn.

"Flow State" is Vaelrix in beast mode — pure lyrical acceleration. With bars referencing Shanks, Conqueror’s Haki, Alien remains, pyramids, puppetry, and Minecraft TNT, this track is a barrage of intricate rhyme schemes and vivid imagery.

From “I use the fabric of time to weave a silk robe” to “if I tried to blend my balls I would break the blender”, every line hits with surreal confidence and calculated absurdity. It’s part rap, part spellbook, part war manual.

This is a masterclass in wordplay and cadence. If you know, you know.

For those who crave technical excellence and bars that bend dimensions — welcome to the flow state.

I see disaster before it happens like shanks does
strong enough to deflect the force of a tank's slug
trust me, I think fast but I kill slow
and I use the fabric of time to weave a silk robe
spitting skilled prose, the will power so great
the conquerer's haki, it glows where the ink flows
dividing the nation with teleportation
make them die when they manifest in that different location
stab them in the chest at the rate of my heart's syncopation
put them to rest, steal their cash, and start a vacation 
the speech clever, elite with each letter
I capture nightmares like I'm Heathe Ledger's dreamcatcher
see the silver tongue devil with the metal in his veins
wings down, smoking Alien remains
throwing lightning at the sky, pierce the clouds and make it rain
gasoline, butane, ignite the blue flames
capture Goldilocks, turn the greatest porridge to agent Orange
invade the forest, and put a bullet through vagrant tourists
smack an orc, raid a goblin and break a Taurus
you'll never box with those tiny arms you tyrannosaurus 
I stand enormous, giant reach and they can't ignore us
you're more annoying than latency when you rap a chorus
it's minecraft, The TNT will attack your fortress
then put their bodies in a grave cause' you're lacking corpses
I promise if they're hearing me
they'll shut that shit down quicker than UFO conspiracy 
because the pyramids aren't what they appear to be
forbidden knowledge is something that I can clearly see
manipulation like puppet strings and a puppeteer
you're struck with fear when I hold the strings you're the puppet here
I keep going until the beat is a faded noise
I made a choice that's why I stay and I raise my voice 
if I tried to blend my balls I would break the blender
they steal from me, more bites than a data center

"Taijutsu" is a two-minute blitz of lyrical brutality — a surgical diss wrapped in wordplay, anime bars, and elite-level punchlines. This track is pure aggression, a verbal exorcism aimed at egos, influencers, and everything fake in the scene.

Lines like “rest in maggot piss” and “make you mop it with a Squeegee” prove this isn’t just rap — it’s warfare with rhythm. Fast-paced, disrespectful, and ruthlessly clever.

If you've ever wanted to hear a rapper go full villain mode with no brakes — this is it.

Step lightly. Vaelrix is striking first.

Spartan kick you from the precipice
you're a celebrity, I hate stars like nemesis
you're on my radar, I said this shit
punch your face hard, make you face tar and sediment
your girl glows under UV light
you better check that before you do a movie night
STI test, something you won't truly like
when you find out your wife was unfaithful twice
and now your eyes burn, crying cause I said the right words
this the Tip of the iceberg of why your life hurts
strike first with the right verse right?
make the fight worse 
until you see your child in a white hearse looking quite worse
I'm telling you
you're stepping in a world where the only exit is misery
wish you don't believe me, I'm saying this shit explicitly
ignoring what I say is ignoring bodily injury
I know so much about you, it's not the result of wizardry
As a CEO you're greedy
I'll call you Mario cause' Mario needs Luigi
I'll slap the taste out of your mouth, do it completely
piss on the floor and make you mop it with a Squeegee 
I mess with people's minds, I'm a memory sorcerer
you don't do shit but dick ride, a destiny orbiter
I be posted at your crib like I'm sniper wolf stalking making jack cry
I don't give a fuck, I'm the YouTube bad guy
tea bag the face of every rapper that I pass by
make sure I do it hard enough they're getting black eyes
look.. mad? I wonder
in order to kill you I'll sacrifice hunger
I'll sacrifice no sleep, I'll sacrifice breath
as long as I know that you will have none left
react to this, pacifist
do it quick so I can copywrite strike you to the black abyss
rest in maggot piss
you're just someone I have to diss
your avarice 
and half of your trashy vids
packaged in
passive aggressive rhetoric 
lacking in substance
the other half is repugnant
they're really terrible

"Let It Be" is a confession in rhyme — the aftermath of love lost, told through memory, regret, and emotional wreckage. This song captures what it means to self-destruct in a relationship, know you did, and sit alone in the ruins.

With lines like “addicted to the chaos, I need to feel discomfort” and “I miss falling asleep to the sounds of your laughter”, this track bleeds the kind of raw honesty that most artists are too afraid to admit.

It’s not just about heartbreak. It’s about self-sabotage, healing, and learning how to let go.

If you’ve ever had to mourn someone who’s still alive — this one will hit you hard.

Lately, I've been in my room pacing
thinking of a cruel nation, thoughts racing
staring at the ceiling while the smoke dances
thinking of my past romances, no chances
to go back, so I'm left reinventing me within
I guess this is why she told me that I need a friend
I relied on her love but I made her bend
then she broke, now she's someone that I'll never meet again
but I deserved it fully
everybody else knows that I earned it truly
I was faithful but failed in my certain duties
now in a few years she'll just be a person to me
I miss falling asleep, to the sounds of your laughter
thinking back to this astounding disaster
only reinforces where we are now
I'm sorry I was never able to calm down

lovers to strangers, losing my memory
I'm forgetting all the words that you said to me
losing touch of that spiritual energy
I'll let it go. I'll have to. I'll let it be x2

I saw you crying but I couldn't respond right
I would freeze, and I'd remain that way all night
and my anger would percolate like it's soda
instead of communicating, I'd run away til it's over
shut down, and detach, enemies on my back
misinterpret your actions as nothing but an attack
why the fuck am I like that, why the fuck do I snap?
no wonder I'm alone, who the fuck would love that?
addicted to the chaos, I need to feel discomfort
never had structure, all I can do is suffer
I hate we separated, but I know we loved each other
I'm sorry my abuse was something you rediscovered
love isn't something that I can express
the flame stopped flickering in my heart, there's no candle left
I'll always love you that will never waiver
I better record this before I shred the paper

lovers to strangers, losing my memory
I'm forgetting all the words that you said to me
losing touch of that spiritual energy
I'll let it go. I'll have to. I'll let it be x2

"Casanova" is a character assassination — delivered from within. This track dissects the narcissist archetype from the inside out, mixing biblical imagery, psych ward introspection, and lyrical self-flagellation.

Lines like “my goal in life is to end myself without even knowing” and “I've heard it all and seem to adopt the rhetoric faster” showcase a mind collapsing in on itself. This is hell in verse — Dante’s Inferno laced with alchemical references, broken therapy, and existential fire.

This isn’t a love song. It’s a poisoned monologue about what happens when you fall in love with your own mask — and then rip it off.

If you've ever hated who you've become in someone else's name… this is your mirror.

#Vaelrix #Casanova #DarkPoetry #AIrap #EmotionalRap #MentalHealthMusic #SelfDestruction #ConfessionalRap #SunoAI #BrokenLove #NarcissismExplored #HellInLyrics #SpokenWordFire


this is Dante's inferno
listen to what I say, this is heaven's reversal
sacrifice your life for the pulpit or the pencil
magnify your traumas on all of the instrumentals
cry until the rivers within evaporate fully
disregard your lovers and all of your civic duties
push away the populace and blame it on incompetence
tell them that you love to be alone but feel the opposite
stab your friends in the back, forget about the consequence
do it because your glued to your avarice and opulence
it's common sense to know that you'd be alone but it's obvious
only reason why you're surprised is 'cause you're a narcissist 
I got to laugh because you're a stupid bitch
I see you disillusioned, confused, gripping a crucifix 
I see you praying, begging to be united, a foolish wish
you'd get the gift and within a second you would abuse it quick
you're not equipped to be Casanova, the act is over
your heart is dark and your veins are filled with the blackest soda
drop the mask, maybe follow the path of Yoda
maybe that would help evaporate your bad aroma
I feel disgust when I think about it's the two of us
and when I try to stop you I can never do enough
I stay stuck while you take control and you say stuff
that breaks trust, and after awhile it breaks us
but the burning bridges seem to thaw the numbness
so in a weird way I saw this coming
all I see inside is agony and lawlessness
so I just call it quits and ball my fists and swallow all of it
what's the point of falling in love, if your not caught?
there was a point I'd smoke a roach off of the grimy sidewalk
contemplating my life, wondering why do I talk
to therapists when I know that all my problems are my fault?
that's a question I'll never answer
all my dreams are dead, so I search for a necromancer
abuser, liar, manipulator, bastard
I've heard it all and seem to adopt the rhetoric faster
always needing the last word, looking like a disaster 
follow abusive patterns, watch all the women scatter
get mad at shit at adjectives and things that do not matter
you see women as nails and you have to be the hammer
the agony you foster, the families you shatter
you linger in the shadows destroying with heavy laughter
I'm part of you, I know it
I'm not proud enough to not admit that I'm broken
cut my wrist til I see an ocean of hemoglobin
my goal in life is to end myself without even knowing
bite a pill and just eat it hoping the piece is potent
I'm rock solid, just shatter my heart or keep it frozen
i don't want to exist inside of this deep emotion
to forget I'd hire alchemists and drink a potion 
the veil has lifted, I've failed and shifted to sick and dispelled existence
living through television, its hell's description
I'm so sensitive it's as if I feel cell division
every second inside this life is a hellish prison

Casanova

https://linktr.ee/vaelrix

A sapphire robe of sadness
wrapped around the body like a blanket
coddling the mind
as I pretend that I'm fine

Paralysis captures the tongue
as trauma wields silence as a weapon
against those who are close
protective measures to the extreme...
do I even need them?

My spoiled, unbearable aura
resonates from the broken parts of me
and as they vibrate
they smother the parts of me
that want to be good.

My screams are quelled
by a force greater than me
the harder I resist
the quicker I slip beneath the quicksand.

My effort...
I notice marginal improvements,
but reality for the most part doesn't change
despite what I've done.

It's as if my existence cycles
where I'm capable
then I'm not,
a constant fight to maintain control,
yet, foolish, primitive impulses,
warp the mind
and contort my perception
to the point I can't trust my decisions.

It's almost whimsical to assume
my life will ever be different
I'd need something magic,
but imagination is almost as painful as reality
when it doesn't manifest
and all you can do
is pretend.

I'd need something magic,
but imagination is almost as painful as reality
when it doesn't manifest
and all you can do
is pretend.

"I Hate My Own Company" is a raw, unfiltered confession from the depths of emotional despondency. Delivered like a haunted monologue, this track explores themes of dissociation, trauma, mental illness, and the unbearable silence of solitude.

Lines like “my avatar in this game of life is glitched” and “I’m reaching for a rope of light” express the inner decay of a soul trapped inside a malfunctioning system — where even basic human function feels like corrupted code.

This is more than a song. It’s an elegy for the self, spoken through tears that never fall.

If you’ve ever felt like your existence was malfunctioning — you’re not alone. This piece is yours.

#Vaelrix #IHateMyOwnCompany #MentalHealthMusic #DarkPoetry #SpokenWord #TraumaMusic #EmotionalRap #DepressionLyrics #AIrap #AltRap #Dissociation #SunoAI #LonelinessAnthem

the oscillation of my mood
the constant gnawing
these intangible weights that bind to my ankles
this abhorrent nature
I want it all to stop.

it's as if I exist in perpetuity,
and for all of eternity
I will be this amalgamation of trauma and grief.

these festering wounds
they're infected with hatred
and the more I try to cover them up with words and lies
the stronger the infection becomes.

I'm reaching for a rope of light
knowing that when I grab it
it will slip through my fingertips
and the evanescence of its shine
will remind me that time is fleeting.

this pain has roots as deep as fungi,
keeping me bound
and every step I take,
the gravity of its pull prevents me from running.

My avatar in this game of life is glitched.
the coding, inoperable.
basic functions like bathing, hygiene,
does choices are wiped from my processes.

I wish my level of normal
was greater than my level of strange.

strands of what I used to be
scattered remnants of what once was
intertwine with the fragments of what I am
creating this weaving fabric of dissonance
where parts of me want one thing
and other parts of me want something else.

I don't want to stain your soul
with my disappearance
but I know that if I did leave permanently
and never returned
the pain that I feel, the perpetual blue...
it would swim through your veins
and that constant itch,
you would be responsible for it.

That responsibility is mine to bare. Not yours.

with that being said,
I wish I didn't feel this duty to conserve others from pain.
I wish I was cruel enough to do the unthinkable
I wish I could. I just can't.

so I'm stuck. stuck with this feeling of despondence.
stuck with this emotional turmoil.
stuck with myself.
I hate my own company.

"Penance" is a cry from the cross of self-inflicted guilt — where the wounds are spiritual, but the bleeding is real. Haunted by past sins and spiritual torment, this track channels raw vulnerability into sacred confession.

Lines like “nails through my shoulders, nails through my feet” and “I'm abuser incarnate” frame a soul in crucifixion, caught between repentance and damnation. It's not just pain — it’s punishment. A desperate attempt to earn forgiveness through suffering.

This is for anyone who’s ever begged for mercy they felt they didn’t deserve.

If this one speaks to your soul — I want to hear what you felt.

#Vaelrix #Penance #AIrock #DarkPoetry #SpiritualRap #EmotionalRock #MentalHealthMusic #ConfessionalArt #GuiltAndGrace #PoeticLyrics #SunoAI #HauntedSound

sing a poisoned soliloquy
instilled in villainy
my heart bleeds
i can't sleep
I haven't dreamed
you be're haunting me when I do
when I sleep 
I always have to find you
I'm afraid
I can't turn it off,
I'm pollution, 
smoke from a car exhaust
heavy hands
too heavy to carry you
but these same hands 
we're enough to bury you

I've been away
awake on repeat
nails through my shoulders
nails through my feet
feel the self penance
the pain is incomplete
I need to suffer more
so I may regain my seat

The masquerade
of a man
and a demon caged
spirit bound
to the wraiths
and their burning rage
you made a deal
with the devil
and you signed the page
now you'll die 
and nobody
will know your name

I've been away
awake on repeat
nails through my shoulders
nails through my feet
feel the self penance
the pain is incomplete
I need to suffer more
so I may regain my seat

I'm sorry, forgive me
my sins are transparent
I'm abuser incarnate
I made that apparent
please!
forgive me!

I've been away
awake on repeat
nails through my shoulders
nails through my feet
feel the self penance
the pain is incomplete
I need to suffer more
so I may regain my seat

"Stay That Way" is a poetic descent into shame, sadness, and shadow-self. Carved from confessions and mythic metaphors, this track is a lament from a soul caught between emotional repression and raw vulnerability.

Lines like “a sadness robe made of tainted silk” and “it’s not really shade, but a shadow that I create” hit like gothic scripture — meditating on guilt, regret, and the fear that some scars never heal.

This is for anyone who’s been told to “stay strong” when they’re already breaking.

If you’ve ever wept in silence and wore your shame like armor, this song is for you.

#Vaelrix #StayThatWay #EmotionalRap #DarkPoetry #MentalHealthMusic #AltRap #ConfessionalLyrics #AIrap #GothicRap #ShadowSelf #SpokenWord #SunoAI

with the roar of a manticore
I descend from my throne with my hands of war
heart has a blackened core
it's as if I can't control myself anymore

And these blood drops paint the quilt
a sadness robe made of tainted silk
confessing is painful still
but I need to in order for me to regain my will

I'm afraid...
the moment you realize it's not really shade
but a shadow that I create
it's obvious
if I'm around
you will seal your fate.
I'm afraid!
I'm supposed to be stoic with a brooding face
but I'm left in this foolish state
filled with shame
and I'm sure that I'll stay that way 

And these blood drops paint the quilt
a sadness robe made of tainted silk
confessing is painful still
but I need to in order for me to regain my will

I'm afraid...
the moment you realize it's not really shade
but a shadow that I create
it's obvious
if I'm around
you will seal your fate.
I'm afraid!
I'm supposed to be stoic with a brooding face
but I'm left in this foolish state
filled with shame
and I'm sure that I'll stay that way 

And these blood drops paint the quilt
a sadness robe made of tainted silk
confessing is painful still
but I need to in order for me to regain my will



Stay That Way

"Sacrificial Pawn" by Vaelrix is a hauntingly raw exploration of male vulnerability, trauma, and the psychological aftermath of abuse. With poetic lyricism and soul-piercing emotion, this song confronts addiction, disassociation, and the silence surrounding male sexual assault. Blending dark ambient textures and introspective vocals, Vaelrix delivers a powerful confession wrapped in pain, numbness, and emotional honesty. If you're searching for deeply personal music about trauma, recovery, and inner turmoil, 'Sacrificial Pawn' resonates on a level few songs dare to reach.

Lyrics:

[Intro]

[verse 1]
Cold stare on my flesh
Strip me naked with your eyes
He took away my innocence
I'll never be alright
Heroin a pendulum 
It sways within my mind
I'm numb, the way you touch me
it's as if you're blind
Tell me how to stay calm
my mental state declines
I can't even climax
without the thought of getting high

[chorus]
Where do I go from here?
my life is gone
Confess til my soul is clear
I'm just a pawn
what I'm left with is pathetic
empathetic but withdrawn 
I lost who I was. 
I'm just a sacrificial pawn 

[Verse 2]
Socially awkward
I can't embrace with love
it's as if I'm paralyzed
when trapped within his glove
These women don't get me
they think I'm self absorbed
I can't resist my suffering 
when it's banging on my door
I smile like a liar
while my silence starts a war
I want to just retreat
to the way I was before

[chorus]
Where do I go from here?
my life is gone
Confess til my soul is clear
I'm just a pawn
what I'm left with is pathetic
empathetic but withdrawn 
I lost who I was. 
I'm just a sacrificial pawn 

[Bridge]
A flesh light
Blood stains on the bed
Body raped
under a black light
That's fine. 
that's fine. 
I have no choice. 
but that's fine.

[chorus, instrumental swells]
Where do I go from here?
my life is gone
Confess til my soul is clear
I'm just a pawn
what I'm left with is pathetic
empathetic but withdrawn 
I lost who I was. 
I'm just a sacrificial pawn


Sacrificial Pawn

"I Have Nothing Left" by Vaelrix is a dark, emotional journey through despair, addiction, and spiritual fatigue. Featuring haunting melodies and raw, poetic lyrics, this track captures the numbness of losing purpose and the weight of carrying pain alone. Perfect for fans of introspective dark pop, soul-baring confessions, and cinematic soundscapes.

Lyrics:

maybe if I died and gave myself to suicide
the voices telling me to die
they'll disappear

twisted moral compass invited cruel injustice
my primitive impulses
and fear

leaves me in this state
of perpetual decay
The agony of spectating death

They sanctify my ennui
yet desecrate my body
what purpose, if any, is left? 

[chorus]
I'm not perfect
I never said I was
the moral high ground
I've never been above
It's everlasting
Sin stains the flesh
I think I'm giving up
I have nothing left
I have nothing left
I have nothing left.

[Verse 2]
I've thought about the drugs, it's alluring with its tug
when I was young and my very dumb
an alcoholic

Addiction in my blood, and I know it's not enough
I'm a danger to myself
so catastrophic

I'm afraid of what I'll do
if I find myself with brew
I don't want that trail of destruction

But my body's so fatigued
from the sorrow and the grief
I feel like I need it to function

[Bridge]
There was a time
Before the screens
when love meant more to me
than dopamine
I am a mind
Devoid of dreams
I'm empty..
an evaporated stream

[chorus]
I'm not perfect
I never said I was
the moral high ground
I've never been above
It's everlasting
Sin stains the flesh
I think I'm giving up
I have nothing left
I have nothing left
I have nothing left.


I Have Nothing Left

“Promise” is a cinematic dark ballad blending haunting orchestral and blues textures with fragile male vocals. Mournful piano, swelling strings, ghostly electric guitar, and subtle percussion carry confessional lyrics about addiction, obsession, and broken promises. This song feels like a funeral lament, capturing the tragedy of making a promise you cannot keep. For listeners drawn to deeply emotional, gothic, and brutally honest music. Let “Promise” pull you into its sorrow. Listen, share, and feel every word.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
This head of cancer
Infecting what I write
a necromancer 
my words are parasites
it's so revolting
I'm going through withdrawal
listen to scolding
it raised my cortisol 

these words obnoxious
but numb like lidocaine 
wicked subconscious 
submerged in Sonic rain
I am the toxins
that lives in Tylenol
this pscilocybin 
I had to write it all...

[prechorus]
it's the tragedy of an apathy, and a mind that wanders lost..
you echo inside, a jeckle and hyde, how much did the hollow cost?
evaporated hatred, when I realized I was all alone
the roads to your heart were broken apart then replaced by cobblestone...

[Chorus]
whether or not, I stop
I'm seeing beyond this
I tell you, I promise
the dopamine rush
it opens me up
I'm not likely to stop this
not likely to stop this
I shouldn't have made that promise.

[postchorus]
I just didn't think,
I would be so attracted to this
and I didn't know
it would become my reason to live 

[Verse 2]
I can't abandon,
the people I chose to keep
they're my companions
been around like a rotary
I don't remember
what it's like to not obsess
all I have are letters
and a pressure that's in my chest.

if I don't release it?
Then I flood from the inside out
there's so many voices
I need to speak them before they sprout
an invasive species
that will spread these corrupted weeds
this poison Ivy
disseminates through the speech as seeds

[bridge]
my promise, I can't keep it 
like a secret of suicide 
get blue when I recycle
refuse to reuse like the bin is dry 
unstable prophet
a meme coin with a high esteem
I have to rocket
if i didn't I wouldn't write a scheme

prechorus]
it's the tragedy of an apathy, and a mind that wanders lost..
you echo inside, a jeckle and hyde, how much did the hollow cost?
evaporated hatred, when I realized I was all alone
the roads to your heart were broken apart then replaced by cobblestone...

[Chorus]
whether or not, I stop
I'm seeing beyond this
I tell you, I promise
the dopamine rush
it opens me up
I'm not likely to stop this
not likely to stop this
I shouldn't have made that promise.

[postchorus]
I just didn't think,
I would be so attracted to this
and I didn't know
it would become my reason to live 

[Outro]
I love you 
I couldn't do it.
I tried. 
I'm sorry.
