From the recording The Gods Stood Up

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
You wrote your legends on my broken skin
Turned my silence into something holy again
You call it Radiance — I call it a weight
A story you needed, not a choice I could make
You want the Bloodline
Without the blood it cost
You want the victory
But not the years I lost

[CHORUS]
I’m not your god‑touched, I’m not your flame
I never asked to inherit your fear or your blame
I’m speaking truth you keep refusing to see
I’m human, and the Radiance is burning through me
Don’t whisper destiny like it’s something I owe—
I’m carrying a history you’ll never know

[VERSE 2]
You talk of prophecy like it’s carved in stone
But every vision leaves me standing alone
You want salvation without the scars
You want a hero who won’t fall apart
You want the Radiance
Without the weight it brings
You want the power
But not the suffering

[CHORUS]
I’m not your god‑touched, I’m not your flame
I never asked to inherit your fear or your blame
I’m speaking truth you keep refusing to see
I’m human, and the Radiance is burning through me
Don’t whisper destiny like it’s something I owe—
I’m carrying a history you’ll never know

[BRIDGE]
If I break, let it be on my own terms
Not for the myths you’re desperate to confirm
If I rise, it won’t be for your throne—
It’ll be for the night I survived alone
The Dark Flame hunts me like a shadow in the reeds
But I’m done being the weapon everyone needs

[FINAL CHORUS]
I’m not your god‑touched, I’m not your flame
I’m not the answer to the world you couldn’t tame
I’m speaking truth you refuse to believe
I’m human — and the Radiance is choosing me
Don’t speak of destiny like it’s something I owe—
I’m the last of the Bloodline, and I’m done being your shadow
