Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I was born for rules and right,
I lived for StarClan’s guiding light.
But truth cuts deeper than a claw,
And love can break the strongest law.
(Pre-Chorus)
They said I’m loyal, brave, and true—
Then watched me crumble when I knew.
(Chorus)
By the code, I lived, I bled,
By the code, my heart was led.
But when I saw the lies they hide,
I chose the tunnels, not their pride.
(Verse 2)
I wanted justice, not their lies,
I buried truth where daylight dies.
The forest whispers what I’ve done,
A daughter lost, a traitor’s son.
(Pre-Chorus)
Forgive me, mother, I couldn’t stay—
The code I loved led me astray.
(Chorus)
By the code, I lived, I bled,
By the code, my heart was led.
You call it sin, I call it pain,
I’d break it all to feel again.
(Bridge)
I never wanted to be divine,
Just to know the stars were mine.
But loyalty’s a heavy chain,
And I wore it till it screamed my name.
(Final Chorus)
By the code, I lived, I bled,
Now I rest where secrets tread.
Don’t call me lost, don’t call me gone—
By the code, my heart lives on.
