[Intro]
Ash in the air
Teeth in the prayer
I carve her name
Into the snare [whispered vocals]
[Verse 1]
Crowd of the hollow-eyed
Frozen in the floodlights’ glare
Every broken saint I’ve tried
Falls shaking when she’s there
Blood-red halo in the smoke
Spine like iron
Gaze like knives
Every curse I ever spoke
Turns to breath that feeds her rise
[Chorus]
Dark angel
Arise
This world is yours tonight
Every throat that screams this line
Becomes your silent choir
Dark angel
Arise
Burn your shadow in our eyes
All who sing are sealed in fire
Dark angel
Arise
[Verse 2]
Tongues of glass
We spit our oaths
Hands up
Ready for the brand
Let the meek unmake their hopes
Let the strong come take her hand
Steel-winged omen at my back
Feathers cut the fevered sky
Every echo
Every crack
Is a door where you step by
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Name on the tip of the world
Name in the grind of the gears
Name in the grind of our teeth
Call her
Call her
Name in the dust of the throne
Name in the crack of the stone
Name in the marrow and bone
Call her
Call her [crescendo]
[Chorus]
