[Intro]
A silver chalice waits beneath the altar stone
A scent of summer fire where sacred seeds are grown
[Verse 1]
I climbed the seven stairways past the carved and faceless kings
With dust upon my knuckles and a bell that never rings
The keeper raised a curtain, said, “This fruit was never named”
I saw my own reflection in the juice that burned like flame
[Pre-Chorus]
One drop upon my tongue
And every vow came undone
[Chorus]
The taste of divine, sweet thunder in my veins
A kingdom without borders, a crown without a chain
The taste of divine, too bright to call it sin
I drank the hidden heaven—and let the darkness in
[Verse 2]
The choir turned to feathers, the marble learned to breathe
The saints along the ceiling opened eyes beneath their sleeves
I heard a voice like winter say, “You wanted to be free”
Then every locked horizon broke its iron teeth on me
[Pre-Chorus]
No prayer could close the door
No mortal heart stayed poor
[Chorus]
The taste of divine, sweet thunder in my veins
A kingdom without borders, a crown without a chain
The taste of divine, too bright to call it sin
I drank the hidden heaven—and let the darkness in
[Bridge]
If paradise is poison, let it run through me
If truth demands a sacrifice, then let my eyes be free
I will not kneel before a gift I cannot understand
I chose the burning orchard with the chalice in my hand
[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
The taste of divine, now thunder in the sky
The gates are torn asunder, the ancient judges cry
The taste of divine, no mercy left to win
I drank the hidden heaven—and became the storm within
[Outro]
A silver chalice cools beneath the fallen stone
I leave the seven stairways, but I never walk alone
