[Intro]
Woke up in the warzone
Halo smoke in my lungs
Tastes like heaven on fire
And I’m the trigger tongue (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Wing dust on my boots
Feather stuck to my fang
Marching through the marble gates
Tattooed with their slang
They praying with their eyes
I’m praying they advance
Gold armor in a straight line
Perfect for the dance
Click-clack
Chrome jaw grinning in the floodlight
Seraphim shaking when they see the red sight
They chant psalms
I just hum my vendetta
Turn a choir into chalk
On cathedral berettas
[Chorus]
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Face down heaven when the dawn comes
Feathers in the air like snow
(Y’all ain’t ready)
Line ‘em up, let the trumpet blow
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Laughing while the halos drop, one by one
If they want a holy war
Let the stained glass hit the floor
[Verse 2]
They descend in a spiral
All white, all righteous
I been crawling through the ash
Learning all of my vices
They shout “Lay down!”
I just lay down shells
Turn cloud nine
To a parking lot of bells
Incense in my throat
Burnt sugar, metal taste
Every step they take in faith
I erase, I replace
“Why you hate us?”
That’s the wrong interrogation
I don’t hate
I just love the detonation
[Chorus]
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Face down heaven when the dawn comes
Feathers in the air like snow
(Y’all ain’t ready)
Line ‘em up, let the trumpet blow
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Laughing while the halos drop, one by one
If they want a holy war
Let the stained glass hit the floor
[Bridge]
[Beat drops half-time, bass swells]
Angel eyes wide
When the smoke don’t clear
You can swing that sword
But I live in fear
Turned fear to fuel
Turned shame to lead
Every sin they wrote on me
Now it’s ink in their heads (bang!)
[Chorus]
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Face down heaven when the dawn comes
Feathers in the air like snow
(Y’all ain’t ready)
Line ‘em up, let the trumpet blow
I’m a demon with a shotgun
Laughing while the halos drop, one by one
If they want a holy war
Let the stained glass hit the floor
