Betrayed by the Light Lyrics

Beneath the crimson sky, the earth devours the dead

Steel and flesh entwined in ruin, a testament to dread

I feel the iron bite my soul, my strength begins to wane

Yet I have lived a righteous path, through sacrifice and pain

The cries of men are fading fast, drowned by the thunder's call

While shadows rise like specters grim to witness as I fall

I served the light, I bore its weight, my faith a sacred shield

But here I lie, abandoned now, upon this bloodied field

Oh, where is the light that once guided my hand?

Why has it faltered, forsaking its stand?

The prayers I've whispered now scatter like ash

My life's devotion undone in this clash

Is this the design of the heavens above?

A cruel, silent test of the faith that I love?

If so, then reveal what meaning remains

For I am a pawn in unyielding chains

Each wound I bore, a testament, to faith's undying creed

Yet now I bleed, unanswered still, abandoned in my need

Through fire's wrath and winter's bite, my banner never fell

I knelt before no mortal throne, no tyrant's bitter spell

The sword I wielded bore your name, each strike a hymn divine

But now its edge is dulled by doubt, its burden solely mine

The winds lament, a dirge for me, the damned, the cast aside

And in their wail, I hear the truth: the gods themselves have lied

Oh, where is the mercy that softened my fear?

Why is its silence the last thing I hear?

The stars above shatter, their purpose unknown

The heavens grow colder, as I die alone

My cries are unanswered, my faith turns to dust

The blade of betrayal has severed my trust

No whispers of solace, no angel appears

Only the echoes of my wasted years

Do you see me, angels? Or am I unseen?

We see your struggle, your pain's in between

Was I betrayed, or is this fate's decree?

The light endures beyond what you can see

But why this torment, this bitter demise?

Through trials of shadow, the faithful will rise

Rise to what purpose? My strength fades to none

Beyond the horizon, your journey's not done

Is there redemption for those left to bleed?

The light you have carried will sow the last seed

Then take me swiftly; my time here is through

Your faith shall ascend where the stars guide you true

Oh, now as the darkness consumes my last breath

I see the beginning within this death

The light still flickers, though faint and unsure

A whisper of purpose that struggles to endure

No longer forsaken, my burden is done

The battlefield fades in the glow of the sun

The faith I have carried shall rise from this grave

As I am no longer betrayed by the light I gave
