Paragon of Virtue

[Verse 1]
I used to be a paragon of virtue
Now you’ll wish I’d never hurt you
I was a symbol of beauty and grace
With my somber blue eyes and a perfect face

Candles flickered in the nave
Every soul I tried to save
Every prayer that left my lips
Turned to ash from broken scripts

I walked the path the righteous tread
Halo shining overhead
But even saints can hear the call
When shadows start to rise and crawl

[Chorus]

Don’t let my horns scare you away
For your safety I will pray

I am the calm inside the storm
The fire that keeps you warm

Still a paragon of virtue
I’ll destroy the ones who hurt you

This is my sacred task
That is all I ask

[Verse 2]
I was a saint stung by betrayal
Arcana prime heard my wail
An abomination
A sensation

Cast out from the light
But never did I leave the fight
Through the darkness cold and grim
Still I rise a seraphim

Broken halos on the floor
Do not bind me anymore
Heaven’s gates may bar my name
Still I walk through holy flame

In my soul I’m born to protect
A seraphim the damned reject
Through the shadows I remain
Guarding those who cry in pain

[Chorus]

Don’t let my horns scare you away
For your safety I will pray

I am the calm inside the storm
The fire that keeps you warm

Still a paragon of virtue
I’ll destroy the ones who hurt you

This is my sacred task
That is all I ask

[Bridge]

And then I was betrayed
My soul laid bare my power flayed
Horns protruded from my brow
You thought that would stop me now

Wings erupting from my shoulder
But I will grow that much bolder
No longer a saint, I’m dyed in sin
But you won’t stop me getting in

Heaven trembles at my cry
As the fallen start to rise
Grace and fury intertwined
Judgment written in my mind

[Verse 3]
Through the thunder of the choir
Through the echoes of the pyre
Every step I take is sworn
To guard the weak and shield the torn

Halo shattered, still I stand
Justice burning in my hand
From the ruins of my fall
I will answer every call

Even angels cast aside
Still have fire deep inside
Through the storm and through the flame
All will whisper now my name

[Chorus]

Don’t let my horns scare you away
For your safety I will pray

I am the calm inside the storm
The fire that keeps you warm

Still a paragon of virtue
I’ll destroy the ones who hurt you

This is my sacred task
That is all I ask
