[Intro] Stained glass In my throat Every word Cuts as it glows [Verse 1] You crowned me in cracked porcelain Called the fractures "faith" and "grace" Hung prayers like rusted ornaments On every tremor in my face You drew borders on my ribcage Red markers running out of ink Told me breathing was rebellion Taught me how to never blink [Pre-Chorus] I'm a sermon Spoken backwards All the verses Spilling ash You said mercy Tastes like iron On a tongue that Dares to ask [Chorus] This glass cathedral starts to shake Every lie you laid begins to break Hear the windows scream in colored rain As I tear your shadow from my name I am the fracture you can't frame Burning halo Uncontained Let the rafters crack beneath the strain I won't bow inside your glass domain [Verse 2] You choreographed my confessions Every gesture Every fall Tied my fears to thin piano wire Let them dangle in your hall Your whisper was a guillotine Swinging over every choice You tuned my pulse to your trembling hands Tried to ventriloquize my voice [Pre-Chorus] I'm the question In your scripture Blurring ink and Blinding light You built pulpits Over quicksand Called my sinking Holy right [Chorus] This glass cathedral starts to shake Every lie you laid begins to break Hear the windows scream in colored rain As I tear your shadow from my name I am the fracture you can't frame Burning halo Uncontained Let the rafters crack beneath the strain I won't bow inside your glass domain [Breakdown] Rip the choir from my throat (from my throat) Let it roar Let it choke (let it choke) Brick by brittle Breaking bones I won't worship on this throne Kneel? Never Bleed? Better Than live forever in your tether [Breakdown – Part II] (hey!) Crash Crash Crash the crown that kept me blind Smash Smash Every script you wrote inside Drag your altar to the flood Paint your scripture in my blood If redemption has a cost I'll pay it with the fate you lost (yeah) [Bridge] You said: "Child You are chosen If you never walk outside" But my pulse picked the lock On your sanctified divide Now the organ drowns in thunder As your icons start to peel All the saints fall from their pedestals Finally forced to kneel [Bridge – Refrain] I was the lamb You dressed in chains Now I'm the storm Inside the nave I was the echo Begging to fade Now I'm the fire Under your stained parade (woah) [Chorus] This glass cathedral starts to shake Every lie you laid begins to break Hear the windows scream in colored rain As I tear your shadow from my name I am the fracture you can't frame Burning halo Uncontained Let the rafters crack beneath the strain I won't bow inside your glass domain [Final Breakdown / Outro] [whispered Then building] Let it fall Let it fall Let it all come down [full voice] When the last pane shatters in the sun I'll stand laughing in the ruin I've become No more halos made of sharpened doubt If this is faith I'm casting it out Let the dust write what you never could I was never yours I was never understood Just a voice In the aftermath rain Walking barefoot From your glass domain

metal, Hybrid of metalcore bite and symphonic grandeur: male vocals shifting from guttural growls to soaring cleans, orchestral strings and choirs weaving around drop-tuned chugs. Verses stay tense and theatrical with stuttering riffs; choruses explode melodic and anthemic over wide synth pads and stacked harmonies. Bridge descends into an extended, polyrhythmic breakdown with choir stabs and tom-heavy drums before a final, cinematic reprise., symphonic metal, post-hardcore, lyrical, metalcore
