Exiled seraph

They wrote my name out of the hymn book

But they still send me when it’s time to bleed

Fall from the sky like a mortar round

Feathers on fire when I hit the ground

Halo hanging like a broken crown

Heaven’s bastard, back in your town…. Trumpets silent on the killing field

Prayers shaking underneath their shields

I’m the answer that they never claim

Holy warhead with a missing name

You can turn your face

But you can’t wash your hands

Every stain on my sword

Spells out your…. commands

I’m the sword you threw away, still cutting in your name

Heaven wrote me from the hymn, but I still burn the same

Cast me from the kingdom just to reign in all your graves

I’m your exiled seraph crowned in all the wrath you crave If I’m too far gone, why you call me when it breaks?

If I’m damnation, why I’m guarding all your gates?….

Boots in the blood, march through the smoke

Wing‑bones rattling under the cloak

Eyes like furnaces, locked on the line

Every heartbeat ticking down to mine… Heaven said I loved the kill too much

But they still dial me when it’s time to crush

Choirs look away when I descend

But every corpse is still a whispered “amen”

You can hide my face

From your painted glass

But your spotless throne

Still sits on broken backs…..

I was your right hand in the firelight

You just cut me off to keep your white robes white

All this blood on me is just your fear in red

Every name you saved is someone that I…. bled

Cast out – but I still hear the call

Wings burned – but I still never fall

Hands shake – every time that you pray

‘Cause you know I’m the one that you send when you say “Make them break, make them bow, make them burn”

I’m the halo that you never will return…..

I’m the sword you threw away, still cutting in your name

Heaven wrote me from the hymn, but I still burn the same

Cast me from the kingdom just to reign in all your graves

I’m your exiled seraph crowned in all the wrath you crave If I’m too far gone, why you call me when it breaks?

If I’m damnation, why I’m guarding all your gates?

Halo cracked and hanging, but I blaze in every flame

I’m the exile that you forged, and I won’t—DIE TAMED……

They don’t say my name in heaven

But they breathe it when they beg for…… war
