Hollowed Ground - Decomposing Scars

(Verse 1)
In the shadowed void where whispers bleed,
A warrior stands, haunted by the seeds,
Of every scream that shattered the night,
Wounds like daggers, remnants of the fight.
(Pre-Chorus)
Fingers trace the lines of despair,
Skin like parchment, memories laid bare,
Each scar a tale of anguish and fear,
In the hallowed silence, I drown in my tears.
(Chorus)
Decomposing scars, my flesh a grave,
Buried in sorrow, no savior to save,
Shattered reflections in the mirror of pain,
Rise from the ashes, I’ll break every chain.
(Verse 2)
Echoes of misery in the back of my mind,
A serpent’s embrace, the darkness entwined,
I wear my battles like a crown of thorns,
In the cradle of shadows, the fragile heart mourns.
(Pre-Chorus)
From the depths of torment, a flicker ignites,
A divine vision shatters the night,
In the ruins of agony, I seek the reprieve,
Can the soul find solace in what it believes?
(Chorus)
Decomposing scars, my flesh a grave,
Buried in sorrow, no savior to save,
Shattered reflections in the mirror of pain,
Rise from the ashes, I’ll break every chain.
(Bridge)
Gaze into the abyss, fierce and unbound,
With each drop of blood, I reclaim my ground,
The chains of the past, painfully rust,
Transforming despair into phoenix dust.
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 3)
In the cathedral of anguish, my heart learns to sing,
An anthem of healing, the redemption it brings,
Through the storm’s raging roar, I find my own light,
With every decomposing scar, I’ll extinguish the night.
(Chorus)
Decomposing scars, my flesh a grave,
Buried in sorrow, no savior to save,
Shattered reflections in the mirror of pain,
Rise from the ashes, I’ll break every chain.
(Outro)
So here I stand, with scars to prove,
A monument of battles, the strength to move,
From the pit of despair to the heavens afar,
I’m raw and I’m real, I am my own star.
Decomposing scars, I am born anew,
In the crucible of pain, my spirit breaks through.
