[Verse 1]
Cross on the wall
Cracked like my jaw from the fall
They said “kneel
Be saved”
I bled on the pew and I laughed at it all
White robes
White lies
All I ever got was closed eyes
Prayed till my throat ran dry
Still every halo turned to barbed wire
[Chorus]
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Drag me through the flame
I don’t want to be saved
I was carved for the pain
Not the gates
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Choirs made of teeth
They’re the only ones who sing for me
I belong where the angels break
[Verse 2]
Gold doors
Locked shut
I’m the stain they scrub from the rug
Saints look away
I’m the dog they chained in the mud
So I toast to the ash
Crown of rust
Throne of trash
Every sin they nailed to my back
Feels more honest than a plastic glass
[Chorus]
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Drag me through the flame
I don’t want to be saved
I was carved for the pain
Not the gates
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Choirs made of teeth
They’re the only ones who sing for me
I belong where the angels break
[Bridge]
[Choir rises
Distant and dissonant]
All your saints
They spit my face
All your prayers
They rot in place
If there’s peace
It’s in the blaze
If there’s home
It’s in the grave (hey!)
[Chorus]
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Drag me through the flame
I don’t want to be saved
I was carved for the pain
Not the gates
Heaven is a lie
Let it burn in the sky
Only hell knows my name (my name)
Choirs made of teeth
They’re the only ones who sing for me
I belong where the angels break
(I belong, I belong, to the break)
