[HOOK]
I was fear before my birth — you tried to wipe me from the page
Scraped the paper ‘til it bled, but the ghost still stayed
New picture, new story, new land — same shape
You can redraw the world around me, but you can’t erase my name
Those of my blood are gone — taken by weak men with weaker grit
But those who stand with me now, take my cup, fill it up — with my blood, take a sip
Drink my Radiance and rise — if you’re loyal, you’re lit
Stand with me and you’re chosen. Stand against me and you’re split

[VERSE 1]
You were the first to fear me, first to smear me
first to cheer when the world tried to pierce me
near me only when you thought you could steer me
clear me out like a stain — but the imprint adheres, see
You allied with cowards, devoured the hours
my family weakened — you pounced, empowered
by numbers, not courage, a mob full of doubters
but I rose from the dirt that you watered with sourness
You whispered my name like a curse in the dark
tried to carve out my future, tried tearing apart
every root of my lineage — but here’s the remark
you can bury the seed, but you can’t stop the spark
You feared me before I had breath in my chest
before I could stand, before I could test
the weight of your hatred — but now I’m possessed
with the Radiance burning a hole through your flesh
You wanted me gone — now I’m here, resurrected
You wanted me broken — I’m fully connected
You wanted me silent — I’m god‑level projected
You wanted me dead — but I’m death redirected

[VERSE 2]
I’m talking to you now — the land, the stone
the runes you let them carve like a cage in your bones
You let them twist laws that were never your own
let fear write the script in a language of groans
You poisoned yourself just to bind me in place
let sigils burn scars in your once‑sacred face
let cowards rewrite what the ancients embraced—
you became the prison that swallowed my grace
But I’m done being chained by a world that complied
done being held by the scripts you supplied
done being shaped by the lies you implied—
I’m the Radiant heir, and I’m burning your hide
I carve my name in the sky where your runes used to reign
I rewrite the laws with the light in my veins
I shatter the glyphs that were forged out of pain—
I’m the fire that cleanses the rot from your frame
You were the weapon they used — now you’re freed by my flame
You were the cage they constructed — now you tremble in shame
You were the world that betrayed me — now you whisper my name
Aery‑sto‑lis — the one you could never contain

[VERSE 3]
You think you’re special
You think you’re chosen
You think your strength is something frozen
into your bones like forged steel—
but let me make this real
You were made from powerful men
I was made from suffering
You were trained to kill
I was trained by pain that never stopped coming
You call yourselves elite—
but elite means nothing to a man who’s bled
in every shadow of this world
and still walks forward instead
Your blades don’t scare me
Your fire doesn’t faze me
Your pride is paper armor—
and my Radiance burns through it plainly
You were forged in heat
I was forged in loss
You were shaped by hands
I was shaped by cost
You think you’re the fire?
No
You’re the match
And I’m the sun

[VERSE 4]
Oh, now I’m speaking upward—
listen close, divinity
You watched the world break me
sat back in serenity
Prayed as a child, you denied every plea
left me to drown in the dark endlessly
waited ‘til nothing was left of me—
then suddenly grace like a gift set free
Did I suffer enough to earn your sight
Did I bleed enough to be worth your light
Did you wait for the moment I lost the fight
just to step in and claim you were always right
No
You don’t get credit for the man I became
You don’t get praise for igniting my flame
You don’t get worship — you get the blame
You watched me fall — now watch me claim
Watch me rise, watch me reign
watch me scorch your holy chain
watch me tear through sky and plane
watch me rewrite fate again
You stood back while I suffered
Now stand and watch as I reclaim this land

[HOOK-REPRISE]
I was fear before my birth — you tried to wipe me from the page
Scraped the paper ‘til it bled, but the ghost still stayed
New picture, new story, new land — same shape
You can redraw the world around me, but you can’t erase my name
Take my cup
Fill it up
With my blood — take a sip
Those who drink with me rise with me
Those who don’t
Fall where they sit
