(Intro)
(Quiet, dark, tense strings and eerie, palm muted guitar Intro that compliment each other and build Intensity)
Dear heaven, dear hell...
You both know my story too well.
(Verse 1 )
I walk through the gates with a blade in my hand
Caught in a war that I don't understand
White wings on the left, red horns on the right
Both sides demanding I choose how to fight!
The saints want my soul, say I need to repent
While the demons are laughing at all my regrets
They call me a sinner, a monster, a threat
But my unclaimed soul they haven't broken yet!
Look at the gods, look up at the sky
You teach me to crawl then expect me to fly?
But Nobody came when I pleaded and cried
If heaven is rigged, then the underworld's mine!
(Pre-Chorus)
Pardon me if I wait, I don’t fully trust this place
When the angels carry daggers behind a beautiful face.
Let the heavens fall.
(Chorus)
Cast me out, throw me straight to the flame!
King of the lost, and I’m cursing their name!
The angels will bleed as the demons collide,
They rip through my flesh as they swallow my pride!
THEY’VE TAKEN OVER
(Verse 2 )
Watch as they fall back, watch them retreat
the seraphim are falling dead at my feet
You think you’re so pure with your halos and light?
Then why did your Gods abandon the fight!
I am a SINNER, a godless ideal
The scars on my back are the only things real
So sharpen your spears and prepare for the siege
I don't owe a damn thing to any high liege!
(Breakdown)
PURGE THE SKY!
You fight for the gods!
You die for their lies!
Now I am the demon!
Let me inside!
I am the demon!
LET ME INSIDE!!!
(Whispered vocals - eerie palm-muted acoustic guitar)
the sinners, the sinners, the monsters, the threats
straight outta hell all the demons are sent
seraphim angels deployed from the skies
close your eyes, close your eyes
the sinners, the sinners, the monsters, the threats
straight outta hell the demons are sent
seraphim angels deployed from the skies
The War has begun, just close your eyes
(Just close your eyes!!)
(Chorus)
Cast me out, throw me straight to the flame!
King of the lost, and I’m cursing their name!
The angels will bleed as the demons collide,
They rip through my flesh as they swallow my pride!
THEY’VE TAKEN OVER
(Outro )
I am a SINNER, a godless ideal
The scars on my back are all that seem real
Arkh
