If I Throw Fire, I Own The Flame

Writer's picture: RoseRose

They knew my horns, they knew my fangs

Set the trap, pulled the strings, played the game

Then pushed me knowing I'd be blamed

But I won’t speak, I won’t explain

I’ll let the silence echo the shame

They themselves the truth deny

But I won’t be the one to pacify

No context to soften, no story to spin

Their own guilt remains within

No answers from me, no voice to lend

Let them confront the truth in the end


I’ll stay silent, and let them see

The weight of their sin they gave to me

So let them pretend they played it smart

I’m the one who admits I tear it all apart

They wield the blade but feign surprise

Draped in virtue, cloaked in lies.

I don’t just break, I shatter, I maim

I don’t whisper threats, I call the name

They shroud their rage in robes pristine

While I wield mine for all to see

I don’t deny, I don’t disguise

I meet the blood with open eyes


No excuses to make

Just the truth of the choices I chose to take

They set the trap, and I walked right in

Not blind, but I owned the sin

No lies, no escape, don't clear my name

In front of the throne, I take the blame

Still, I moved with my own hand,

And now I face the consequence

Just as I planned

The consequence of my own action clear

I’ll take the fall

I made the choice

Now I answer the call


When the weight of my choices comes crashing down,

I will rise in fire, truth worn as a crown

No shifting blame, no veiled disguise

When my maker asks I'll meet His eyes

When the reckoning comes and the heavens break

I won’t tremble, I won’t fake

No shifting weight, no borrowed blame

When my maker calls, I’ll speak my name

If I throw fire, I own the flame


I struck, I stood, I showed my hand

I won’t deny, I won’t disband

They throw their stones, then turn away

Ghosts in daylight, cowards at play

But I don’t flinch, I don’t pretend

I don’t beg mercy, I don’t bend

If I lit the fire, I’ll face the flame

I’ll burn before I curse my name

Let them run, let them hide

Let them cower, soaked in pride

But when I fall, let it be known

I will stand alone.


When judgment calls I’ll raise my hand

It was mine. I’ll take my stand.

You start the war, I see it through

No veil, no lie, just what is true

Throw your rocks and run from the man

But me? I throw and raise my hand

No shadow games, no masked attack

If I strike I don’t step back

It was mine.

It was me.

It is my accountability.

I don’t throw whispers nor sticks or stones

I admit to breaking bones

So play the saint, all polished and bright

I reveal darkness with no false light

Let them face their own reflection

No explanation, no correction

Our sin is our own, no need to intervene,

In silence I stand with my integrity


He knows my side, He knows my name

He knows they made my life their game

They call me violent, I never denied

I wear my truth, no mask, no disguise

But they preached peace with blood on their hands

Sworn in the dark to treacherous plans

So even when they put me to death

Or call me cursed with their breath

Through whispered hate and veiled disguise

They deem me fallen, yet I will rise


They cast their stones, they speak their lies

But I am the brightest star in His skies

I went down in silence, swallowed by the night

No cries, no pleas, just fading from sight

Yet no chain can bind what He has freed

My spirit that which He gave to me

He hears the silence, the calm before war

He knows what’s coming, He’s seen this before

No rush, no warning, my soul intact

When fate calls, He knows I’ll be back

He waits in the shadows, patient and wise

He knows the fire he put in my eyes


Mark my words, this tale isn’t done

Set up to fail

I'll rise as the sun

Silence is borrowed

Time cracks the shell

I’ll be back

After I forged my sword in hell

My voice the blade

My words the fight

They stole my breath, but never my light

The power of truth is fierce and strong

Now hear me speak

I was silent too long
