blood destiny
Lyrics
Intro — distorted whisper
They drew the lines before we could speak.
Told us who to be.
Told us who to hate.
Told us what our blood meant.
But what happens
when we refuse the roles?
Verse 1
Born into a battlefield,
Given names before we knew ourselves.
Taught to fight, taught to obey,
Taught that weakness has a price to pay.
Boys are told to never break,
Girls are told how much they can take.
Different chains, but the same damn cage,
Different battles on the same damn stage.
They put a weapon in one hand,
Put expectations in the other.
Tell us what it means to be a man,
Tell us what it means to be a mother.
But underneath the labels,
Underneath the skin,
We're all just trying to survive
The war we're born within.
Pre-Chorus
You call it tradition,
You call it destiny.
But who decided
what we're supposed to be?
Chorus
BLOOD DESTINY!
Written before we could choose!
They gave us roles,
They gave us rules,
Then blamed us for the wounds!
BLOOD DESTINY!
We're more than what they see!
You can draw your lines around us—
BUT YOU DON'T DEFINE ME!
Verse 2
Soldiers marching, assassins hiding,
Everybody's got a side they're fighting.
Some get told to carry the weight,
Some get told to stay behind the gate.
One is told, “Be strong, don't cry.”
Another hears, “Know your place, comply.”
Different words, different scars,
Still we're staring at the same damn stars.
And when the battle finally ends,
Who's left standing? Who's your friend?
When the armor finally disappears,
We're all human underneath the fear.
Pre-Chorus
You call it destiny,
I call it conditioning.
You gave us the battlefield—
Now hear us questioning!
Chorus
BLOOD DESTINY!
Written before we could choose!
They gave us roles,
They gave us rules,
Then blamed us for the wounds!
BLOOD DESTINY!
We're more than what they see!
You can draw your lines around us—
BUT YOU DON'T DEFINE ME!
Breakdown — screamed
WHO ARE WE?!
Not your soldiers!
WHO ARE WE?!
Not your weapons!
WHO ARE WE?!
Not your expectations!
WE AREN'T BORN
TO FIT YOUR DESIGN!
NO MORE LABELS!
NO MORE SIDES!
NO MORE TELLING US
HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES!
Bridge — melodic
Maybe we're different,
Maybe that's okay.
Maybe there's more than
one way to be brave.
You don't have to become
what the world demands.
You don't have to bleed
just to prove where you stand.
We're not enemies
because we're not the same.
We're not failures
because we changed.
Final Chorus
BLOOD DESTINY!
We were born into the fight!
But we can choose our own direction,
We can choose what's wrong and right!
BLOOD DESTINY!
No more living by decree!
Our blood may tell our history—
BUT IT DOESN'T WRITE OUR LEGACY!
Final Breakdown
ASSASSINS!
SOLDIERS!
MEN!
WOMEN!
Different battles—
SAME HUMAN HEART!
BLOOD!
DESTINY!
You don't own me!
I DECIDE
WHO I WILL BE!
Outro — whispered
They gave us a destiny...
We gave ourselves a choice.
