I am the reckoning, I am the flame

Verse 1
I came home to whispers, to screams in the night,
A world left in ashes, your soul losing light.
You were broken, and all alone
I should’ve been there, I should’ve held your hand.

Verse 2
The lies he spun, the bruises he gave,
The love he twisted, the cage you braved.
I swore I’d protect you, keep you from harm,
Now rage is the weapon I hold in my palm.

Pre-Chorus
The shadows speak, the past won’t rest,
Every betrayal carved in my chest.
I won’t forgive, I won’t retreat,
The fire inside refuses defeat.

Chorus
I am the reckoning, I am the flame,
I’ll burn down the monster, I’ll erase his name.
Every scream you buried, every tear unseen,
I’ll tear apart the darkness, I’ll break what remains.
You’re safe with me, I’ll fight through the night,
I’ll bring back the day, I’ll restore your light.

Verse 3
Secrets uncovered, the truth laid bare,
The damage he caused, too heavy to bear.
Justice or vengeance—it blurs in my mind,
But I’ll never leave your soul confined.

Chorus
I am the reckoning, I am the flame,
I’ll burn down the monster, I’ll erase his name.
Every scream you buried, every tear unseen,
I’ll tear apart the darkness, I’ll break what remains.
You’re safe with me, I’ll fight through the night,
I’ll bring back the day, I’ll restore your light.

Bridge
He thought he could silence, thought he could hide,
But truth is a storm, and I won’t be denied.
For every scar, for every broken cry,
I’m the shield, I’m the fire—you’ll never again die.

Chorus
I am the reckoning, I am the flame,
I’ll burn down the monster, I’ll erase his name.
Every scream you buried, every tear unseen,
I’ll tear apart the darkness, I’ll shatter what remains.
You’re safe with me, I’ll fight through the night,
I’ll bring back the day, I’ll restore your light.

Outro
No more shadows, no more chains,
I’ll carry your heart, I’ll bear the pain.
Through the fear, through the fight,
I am your fire, I am your light.
