[Verse 1]
You were tracing stars on the window
Crayon halos on the glass
Said
“Dad
What's that scar on your shadow?”
I laughed
But it cracked like glass
There’s a stain on every sunrise
Where your mother used to pray
They spoke her name like it was nothing
So I took their sky away
[Chorus]
I burned down heaven for you
Lit the clouds
Watched them turn to bruise
Every gate
Every wing I knew
Turned to ash when they touched her truth
If they ever speak her name like they did that day
I’ll strike the match again
Make their gold decay
I burned down heaven for you
[Verse 2]
An archangel smirked at her mercy
Called her faith “a pretty lie”
Touched her wrist like she was worthless
Spat a blessing in her eye
So I walked into their chapel
Boots on marble
Fists on flame
Tore the halo from his forehead
Branded him with her first name
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] They said “this is holy order”
I said “this is cheap control”
Drop the throne into the slaughter
Feed the fire my fractured soul
[growled vocals] Let the trumpets choke on cinders
Let their white wings melt and seethe
Doom them to the dark they threatened
When they made your mother bleed
[crescendo] If justice makes me monster
Then I’ll roar
I’ll rip
I’ll rise
I will salt their shining kingdom
Till it falls from all their lies
[Chorus]
