Theme: Tainted Destiny is a cinematic gothic rock anthem about breaking free from inherited expectations and refusing a future written by someone else.
Dedicated to our sixth unsung bandmate Shandi Q this one is for you from all of us.
Lyrics:
Verse 1
The air is tight, the hour bends,
I feel the weight they never meant.
Names are etched beneath my skin,
Stories I was born within.
The past still talks like it knows best,
Hands me rules I never said.
I didn’t choose the lines they drew,
I won’t become what they assumed.
Pre-Chorus
I cut the thread, I change the scene,
This future isn’t theirs to mean.
Chorus
They call it fate, I call it a lie,
A crooked road they designed.
Every mark they left on me
Won’t decide my identity.
If this path was set to end me,
I’ll rewrite it relentlessly.
I don’t answer to what’s behind me —
This is my tainted destiny.
Verse 2
The mirror shakes but doesn’t break,
I still recognize my face.
Every doubt they tried to plant
Never stopped what I became.
Let them talk, let them pretend,
I don’t need the past to mend.
I move ahead without regret,
No permission, no defense.
Pre-Chorus
I cut the thread, I change the scene,
This future isn’t theirs to mean.
Chorus
They call it fate, I call it a lie,
A crooked road they designed.
Every mark they left on me
Won’t decide my identity.
If this path was set to end me,
I’ll rewrite it relentlessly.
I don’t answer to what’s behind me
This is my tainted destiny.
Bridge
No crown to claim, no curse to wear,
No borrowed weight I have to bear.
If this is where the line was drawn,
Watch me step beyond it all.
Final Chorus
They call it fate, I call it a lie,
I crossed the line and stayed alive.
Every scar still speaks to me,
But it won’t write my history.
If this path was set to end me,
I’ll rewrite it relentlessly.
I don’t answer to what’s behind me —
This is my tainted destiny.
Outro
Destiny doesn’t own me.
