Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – Soft, Nighttime Escanor]
...Who decided I deserved this power?
Even gods tremble... yet I envy the weak.
Because they… they can love without destroying it.
---
[Verse 1 – Daytime Escanor: Explosive Delivery]
Who decided that gods get crowns?
I woke up and made the sun bow down.
“Sin of Pride”? Nah—gift of flame,
When I step in the room, angels forget their name.
Swing Rhitta once—rewrite the weather,
You got war? I bring forever.
Call me arrogant, bitch, I earned that sin,
You talk loud—I burn from within.
Flesh of a man, heart of a god,
Stare in my eyes and meet your facade.
I don’t fight for praise—I fight alone,
Carved my name into molten stone.
---
[Hook]
Who decided you could stand by me?
I am the peak—y’all try to breathe.
Midday king, fear my rise,
'Cause even demons whisper:
"He is Pride."
Sun in my soul, death in my grin,
Love me? You better learn how to burn within.
Final form, no time for grace—
I die on my feet, with a smile on my face.
---
[Verse 2 – Nighttime Escanor: Quiet, Haunting]
But when the sun fades, I’m left with shame,
A fragile man trapped inside the flame.
I loved Merlin, she never looked back,
Still I’d die twice just to feel that lack.
I envied Ban’s scars, King’s gentle way,
Meliodas’ love that would never stray.
Me? I’m power cursed with grief,
Gold armor on a wilted leaf.
I am pride. I am pain.
The sun gives glory—but never lets you stay.
---
[Verse 3 – Day Escanor Returns: Final Build Up]
But fuck all that—I walk in fire,
Built to kill and climb higher.
Say your prayers, I’m the god they fear,
When I spit, the fuckin’ sky clears.
This my farewell—engraved in heat,
Body in ash, but my bar's on repeat.
No res, no clone, just raw resolve,
I’m the riddle that gods can’t solve.
---
[FINAL BAR – Beat drops, echoing voice of a god]
"Even in death… who decided you could speak to me?"
---
[Outro – Fading choir + spoken line]
I was born to blaze.
And I leave this world… on fire.
