[Verse 1 – Ritual of Doubt] Lay me down in velvet dust Candles flicker, steel to rust Whispers crawling up the spine “Are you sinner, or a sign?” Golden mask and heavy breath I made peace with faking death Built a throne of paper skin Let the wolves devour my grin --- [Pre-Chorus – Suspicion and Fire] Every vow I wore like thread Now wraps around a different head I don’t bow, I don’t break I don’t pray for what I’ll take --- [Break 1 – “The Descent” – Instrumental] [Dark ambient textures, tribal percussion, deep sub-bass.] [Glitching vocal snippets] [Sounds like a ritual] [Then: silence] [Then: boom — the drop hits with distorted synths and a low growl, rhythmic and fierce.] --- [Chorus 1 – The Rebellion Begins] This is not your altar This is not your flame You can’t call me daughter Then curse my name I am thunder breathing Through a cracked belief Tore the veil to pieces Built a temple of me --- [Verse 2 – The Ascent] Skyline stitched in shades of grief But I walk it like a thief Stealing back what once was mine Hourglass and crooked time No more cages, no more rites I set fire to sleepless nights Raised by silence, fed by screams Now I bloom beyond your dreams --- [Pre-Chorus – Defiance Sharpens] No more scripts in borrowed hands No more gods with sinking plans I don’t kneel, I don’t fade I make legends out of clay --- [Break 2 – “The Ascension” – Instrumental] [The sound evolves — brighter synth layers glide in. Arps shimmer like rising stars. Then: orchestral stabs burst through with defiant energy. Massive, cinematic drop with evolving key — minor to major shift mid-break.] --- [Chorus 2 – Transcendence] This is not surrender This is not defeat I’m the storm and center The burning beat I am light unfolding Past what eyes can see Not your cage or calling — I’m the temple of me --- [Bridge – Floating Moment of Clarity] Every lie I carried Dissolved in dawn Every scar a letter In the song I’m drawn --- [Final Chorus – Ascendant and Unstoppable] This is not your altar This is not your flame I became the thunder I broke the chain No more shame worth holding No more need to flee I’m the voice, the silen The temple of me --- [Outro Whisper] [reversed vocal effect + ethereal fade]: "Welcome home… welcome home..."

Temple of Me
