[Intro]
Blood on the altar
Ash in my lungs
Choirs of vultures
Tearing the sun
[Verse 1]
Welcome in
To the heaven of torture
Halo made
From the bones of my shame
Kiss the whip
Taste the rust on the water
Every prayer
Is a spark in the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I begged for wings
You handed me chains
You carved your gospel
In my veins (in my veins)
[Chorus]
This is my heaven of torture
Where I burn just to feel
I wear your crown like a collar
I finally know what is real
Pull me apart
A little bit more
I’m not afraid of the scars
Heaven of torture
Open the door
I’d rather bleed than be yours
[Verse 2]
White-robed wolves
Hide their teeth in the scripture
Holy knives
Drawing circles in red
Every hymn
Is a fracture
A fissure
Every saint
Is a voice in my head
[Pre-Chorus]
You promised light
You swallowed the day
You call it “love”
When you flay me away (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is my heaven of torture
Where I burn just to feel
I wear your crown like a collar
I finally know what is real
Pull me apart
A little bit more
I’m not afraid of the scars
Heaven of torture
Open the door
I’d rather bleed than be yours
[Bridge]
I am the crack in your radiant sky
The broken hymn you cannot sanctify
I tear the wings from the lie you adore
I am the wound
That will heal
Nevermore (nevermore)
[Chorus]
This is my heaven of torture
Where I burn just to feel
I wear your crown like a collar
I finally know what is real
Pull me apart
A little bit more
I’m not afraid of the scars
Heaven of torture
I am the war
I’d rather damn
Than be yours (than be yours)
