Feathers Aflame

[Intro]
Ash in my hair
Smoke in my lungs
Name what you fear
I speak in tongues
[Verse 1]
Broken halo
Stitched with thorns
I rise barefoot
On your ruins, reborn
You called me monster
Sang my shame
Now your banners
Feed my flame
[Chorus]
Feathers aflame
I burn your kingdom clean
Hear the phoenix scream
Through your shattered dream (oh)
Feathers aflame
Blue fire in my veins
This is phoenix annihilation
Of every trace of your name
[Verse 2]
Cathedral shattered
Stained glass rain
Your statues bleeding
Rust and pain
Your whispered curses
Turn to prayers
As my shadow
Fills the stairs
[Chorus]
Feathers aflame
I burn your kingdom clean
Hear the phoenix scream
Through your shattered dream (yeah)
Feathers aflame
Blue fire in my veins
This is phoenix annihilation
Of every trace of your name
[Bridge]
You thought I died
In the dark you made
But I learned to breathe
Inside the blaze
Say my sins
While the sky turns black
Every word you ever carved
I’m carving back
[Chorus]
Feathers aflame
I burn your kingdom clean
Hear the phoenix scream
Through your shattered dream
Feathers aflame
Blue fire in my veins
This is phoenix annihilation
’Til nothing of you remains

Verses ride a stalking half-time groove with atmospheric pads and choir swells; choruses explode into double-time drums and stacked vocal harmonies. Occasional dissonant lead lines and clockwork chugs build tension, with a bridge that drops to eerie clean guitars and whispered backing vocals before a final, crushing reprise., hard rock, gothic rock, electric, metal, deep
