¶ Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I crossed the dust of a broken land,
With shaking hope in my open hand,
Chasing shadows through the endless night,
Just to find my father in the light.
I saw his face through the smoke and pain,
Twenty-eight years like a ghost in chain,
I cried out loud, thought I’d made it back,
But love don’t always stay on track.
(Pre-Chorus 1)
He stood so cold, like a war-time judge,
No mercy left, no room to budge,
I ran too fast, I trusted right,
Didn’t see the blade in the light.
(Chorus)
It was a knife in the light,
A kiss turned into a fight,
Blood on the sand, truth out of sight,
Daddy didn’t hold me tight.
Yeah, a knife in the light,
Wrong man, wrong time, wrong night,
But I’m still breathing through the spite—
With a knife… in the light.
(Verse 2)
The sky cracked open with plasma rain,
Love and death in the same damn frame,
My heart was screaming, my back was torn,
Reborn in fire, reborn in scorn.
He dropped to his knees, said my name like prayer,
Tears in his eyes, panic in the air,
Not a Jinn, not a ghost, not someone else,
Just his son bleeding out on the belt.
(Pre-Chorus 2)
And war don’t stop for a family scene,
No clean escape, no in-between,
But I heard a voice through the battle cry,
Telling me love doesn’t have to die.
(Chorus)
It was a knife in the light,
A kiss turned into a fight,
Blood on the sand, truth out of sight,
Daddy didn’t hold me tight.
Yeah, a knife in the light,
Wrong man, wrong time, wrong night,
But I’m still breathing through the spite—
With a knife… in the light.
(Bridge)
And Talonor held me when the world went mad,
Gave me the only peace I ever had,
A ring in the storm, a vow in the flame,
Love’s still love when it hurts the same.
The sky was falling, bombs in the air,
But he asked forever like a desperate prayer,
And I said yes as the heavens burned,
Some things break… some things return.
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, a knife in the light,
But I’m still alive tonight,
War all around, still I choose the fight,
Love’s the spark in the endless night.
Yeah, a knife in the light,
But I won’t fade out of sight,
If the universe wants blood for the price—
I’ll bleed… but I’ll survive.
Knife in the light…
(Outro)
Knife in the light…
Still burning bright…
