Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Candles drip on rusted stone
Ashes gather in my throat
Sky cracks open
Red and gold
Every secret dressed in smoke
Iron angels scrape the clouds
Scales hang heavy
Swinging slow
Hear my name in hollow sound
From a tongue I do not know
[Chorus]
On judgment day
The ink is bleeding
In the book of death they turn my page
Every lie
Every vow I twisted
Burns in black and silver flames
On judgment day
My scars are reading
Like a hymn of fear and rage
If I fade
Let the spine keep shaking
In the book of death
In the book of death
Where my shadow has no cage
[Verse 2]
Pages flutter
Storm of bones
Every sin a sharpened word
Faces staring out of dust
Every promise that I burned
Chains of days I threw away
Clatter on the marble floor
See my younger ghost there shaking
Hammered to the courtroom door
[Chorus]
On judgment day
The ink is bleeding
In the book of death they turn my page
Every lie
Every vow I twisted
Burns in black and silver flames
On judgment day
My scars are reading
Like a hymn of fear and rage
If I fade
Let the spine keep shaking
In the book of death
In the book of death
Where my shadow has no cage
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to half-time
Guitars grind low]
Write me out or write me over (hey!)
Let the letters crack and peel
If this is the final chapter
Let me carve the last word real
Crowds of halos
Crowns of thorns
All their fingers point like spears
I raise my voice against the thunder
“I was more than all my fears!” (yeah)
[Chorus]
On judgment day
The ink is bleeding
In the book of death they slam my page
Every wound I tried to hide is shining
Through the dark like molten chains
On judgment day
The fire is feeding
On my grief and on my hate
If I burn
Let the cover splinter
Tear the book of death in half
And I’ll walk beyond that gate
