(Intro)
(Distant church bells chime. A massive, operatic Latin choir swells with dramatic, cinematic strings)
Dear heaven, dear hell...
You both know my story too well.
(A terrifyingly heavy electronic sub-bass drop shakes the track)
(Verse 1 - Rapid Rap Delivery / Heavy Orchestral Trap Beat)
Yeah, 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, they say I gotta repent
While the demons are laughing at the money I spent
They call me a sinner, a monster, a threat
But I’m the only survivor they haven't broken yet!
Look at the throne, yeah, look at the sky
You teach me to crawl then expect me to fly?
I’m cutting the strings of the puppet design
If heaven is rigged, then the underworld's mine!
(Pre-Chorus - Industrial Nu-Metal Build-Up)
Pardon me if I refuse to bow down to your grace...
When the angels carry daggers behind a beautiful face.
(Drums build rapidly into a ticking time-bomb sound)
Let the heavens fall.
(Chorus - Anthemic Rock / Massive Symphonic Metal)
Cast me out, throw me down to the fire below!
I’ll build an empire out of the ash that you throw!
You want a savior to bleed on the cross?
Look at my face, I’m the king of the lost!
The trumpets will blare as the holy collide
With the army of monsters I keep deep inside!
(Verse 2 - Rhythmic Nu-Metal / Heavy Aggressive Flow)
Back it up, back it up, watch 'em retreat
I got the seraphim falling down dead at my feet
You think you’re so pure with your halos and light?
But you’re the ones who abandoned us right in the fight!
I am a titan, a godless ideal
The scars on my back are the only things real
So sharpen your spears and prepare for the siege
Because I don't owe loyalty to any high liege!
(Breakdown - Brutal Deathcore Chaos)
(The music stops completely. A terrifying, inhuman guttural growl rips through)
PURGE THE SKY!
(Insanely heavy, down-tuned guitar chugs slam in with blistering double-bass drumming)
You fight for the crown! You die for the throne!
But I am the ruler of the dark unknown!
EXORCISE THE WEAK!
(High-pitched guitar squeals hit right as the breakdown reaches maximum deathcore intensity)
(Outro - Clean Pop-Punk Chorus Melody & Piano)
(Guitars shift to an upbeat, melodic rock tone; Ronnie sings cleanly and soaring)
Yeah, the angels are bleeding, the demons are gone...
And I’m left alone here to welcome the dawn.
(The heavy instruments vanish, leaving a lonely piano chord)
(Low whisper)
Heavy is the crown
