Aprendiz de Brujo

I stole old words from a godless book
I traced my name in fire to be better
I thought the world obeyed my voice
That chaos would surrender if I spoke

I played with shadows, wanted to control
What doesn’t understand laws or morals
I gave meaning to fear when I spoke
A truth I didn’t know how to use

I thought the trick was to command
Didn’t see the price was to obey

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
I summoned what I can’t stop
I wanted to own the thunder
And now it hears me breathe

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
Magic didn’t come to save
It came to show me in the mirror
The lie I call my identity

I wore masks to avoid falling
I told myself I’m strong to not fear
I gave a fixed face to what I am
To not face what changes in me

I built a kingdom on control
Crowned the ego as savior
But in silence, without a ritual
The King breaks, doesn’t know how to command

The more I command, the more it binds me
Illusion rules if you don’t see it

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
I played God without understanding
I opened the door to the trick
And didn’t know how to return

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
Magic wasn’t power
It was seeing how the spell
Started to possess me

I don’t want to kill the magic
Just stop believing it
I don’t want to break the ego
I want to see it and not serve it

The strength isn’t in the spell
It’s in letting go of the illusion
The real trick
Is living without possession

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
I don’t want to dominate anymore
I let the symbols fall
I’m learning to walk

I’m the apprentice of a sorcerer
The lesson wanted to teach me
Whoever controls their story
Starts to awaken

I put out the fire
I’m still alive
