[VERSE 1]
Left me shining on a dead white altar
War-dog steel with no one at the hilt
Choirs rotted in their golden armor
Heaven lost the nerve to use what it built… You came limping through the broken rafters
Spitting out blood and angel glass
Saw me waiting like a loaded answer
Picked me up and aimed me at their past….
[PRE-CHORUS]
We don’t bow, we don’t ask permission
Kick their pretty kingdom off its hinges
If God forgot the weapon that He made
Then let Him meet it swinging from your ….fingers
[CHORUS]
I’m the unclaimed blade
Saints step back when they hear my name
You’re the outlaw hand
Raised on orders, fed on blame
We’re the crack that cuts Heaven
Never wrote into its page
If they want us gone
They better send the whole damn choir our way
’Cause we’re walking through the gates
As the unclaimed…..blade
[VERSE 2]
We walked corridors of rusted incense
Wing bones nailed into the walls
Every saint a cracked porcelain statue
Eyes knocked out, afraid to fall …. You dragged me down their silver staircase
Past the thrones they never earned
Every step I felt your knuckles tighten
Every hymn in me began to turn
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Every halo starts to flicker
Every robe smells like a grave
If they won’t say what they did to us
We’ll make ’em spell it out in veins….
[CHORUS 2]
I’m the unclaimed blade
Stripped their gospel off my edge
You’re the walking scar
They tried to bury and forget
We’re the crack in Heaven
Running straight beneath their throne
If they want us stopped
They better come and die alone
’Cause we’re carving through their names
With the unclaimed …..blade
[BRIDGE – BUILD]
I was forged to kiss their throats in glory
Hold the line and guard the gate
Left to freeze on marble pillows
While they learned new ways to hate You were built to bow and break on command
Die on time and wear their shame
Left to rot in holy foxholes
While they mispronounced your name… Now your pulse is in my handle
Now my edge is in your veins
Every angel in the rafters
Feels us walking, knows our names… Every seraph starts descending
All those wings and all that light
But they’re shaking when they see us
’Cause we’re what they didn’t write….. Let them circle, let them warn us
Let their trumpets start to wail
We were never on their ledger
We’re the cut inside the veil…. Raise me higher, swing me honest
Let the first neck teach the rest
If their Heaven wants us silenced
It can carve the words in its own……. chest
[FINAL TAG / OUTRO – AFTER THE PEAK]
Unclaimed blade in an outlaw hand
Heaven’s fear in a stolen brand…..
