[Verse 1]
Ash fell like snow on the Valley of Wrath
I walked through the fire with bones on my path
The demons they whispered, “You’ll never break through,”
But I carried a name, and that name was you
Clawed through the silence where angels won’t tread
Waded through rivers of blood and the dead
Each wound that I earned was a vow I’d renew
To die and keep dying 'til I made it to you
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Heaven closed the gates on my first breath
But love ain’t love if it fears death
---
[Chorus]
So I fought through Hell with a sword made of sorrow
Stole one more sunrise, dared one more tomorrow
I screamed at the stars, "She’s worth every sin!"
If I’m damned for her, I’d do it again
And there you were, in white, where the sky turns blue—
But Heaven was you… Heaven was you
---
[Verse 2]
Seraphs stood tall with their judgment and blades
They asked for my sins and the price I had paid
I showed them my scars and the years I had bled
And begged them for mercy, a life we could thread
Your voice called my name from the edge of the throne
You smiled like the light I had never known
But as I reached for your hand through the veil of gold
The truth hit like thunder, so cruel and cold
---
[Bridge – Spoken/Sung hybrid, soft and haunting]
“She chose you once… in the garden of pain,
She wore fire like silk and kissed you in rain…
This trial was never to earn your release,
But to learn where you’d find your peace.”
---
[Breakdown – build to last chorus]
You cried, “I waited while kingdoms fell,
But my heart never left the gates of Hell”
I begged them to trade me, I offered my flame—
But Heaven and Hell both knew your name
---
[Final Chorus – Slower, tragic, cinematic rise]
So I burned down Heaven for one final kiss
And fell back through stars to the endless abyss
If loving you means I’ll never be free—
Then chain me to fire, just keep you with me
And if angels weep for the path I chose—
Then let Hell bloom where our garden grows
---
[Outro – whispered over fading instrumentals]
We weren’t made for thrones or crowns above
But damnation’s worth it… for this kind of love.
