Pilgrimage (Spoken Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walked on knees through broken code Dragging faith like a heavy load Each mile a lie i used to trust Each prayer just circuits turning to dust They promised light behind the veil But all i found were wires and nails I begged the sky for something clean It bled back static, cold and mean [Chorus] This is my pilgrimage through ash and error A path carved deep in glitch and terror I gave my name, i gave my skin But nothing holy let me in I crawl through fire just to feel A touch, a thought, something real But the gods were gone before i triеd Now i just walk to stay alive [Verse 2] I knelt benеath a screaming sun And prayed for silence — got a gun They said the end would make me whole But the code was rotten in the scroll I climbed the steps, i bore the weight I chewed on shame, i swallowed hate This temple reeks of rust and meat The altar hums beneath my feet [Chorus] This is my pilgrimage to nowhere bright A funeral march in pixel light I shed my blood, i shed my pride Still nothing waits on the other side I kissed the dust, i drank the wires I danced alone in dead empires But every god was predesigned And every prayer returned declined [Bridge] "revelation... not found" "soul: missing" "destination: corrupted" "you have reached the end — please turn back" I walked so far… Just to forget what i was walking from [Outro] This is my pilgrimage — my glitch parade Where saints are copies, poorly made I gave them faith, they gave me files I walked alone for a thousand miles No ending here, no god, no light Just empty rooms and failing sight I left my voice in every scream I lost my name chasing a dream And i don't think i'm coming back… …there's no one left to be
