Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] White knuckles on the edge Teeth grit through the static in my head Every scar Every dare Every near miss Screaming “Is this all there is?” [Pre-Chorus] Heart racing like it wants out my chest Fear’s talking but I won’t flinch If the sky won’t split when I shout I’ll climb higher till it gives [Chorus] One step closer to heaven When my boots kick dust from the ledge Every breath Every second Is a match held close to the edge If I burn I burn ascended Turn the fall into a blessing One step closer to heaven With the ground just a rumor beneath me [Verse 2] Glass shards in the path I chose Bare soles But I won’t walk slow Every “stop” that they carve in stone I grind down till it’s gravel and smoke [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been begging for a sign in the dark Got silence and the sound of my blood So I carved my prayers into steel And I swing them through the flood [Chorus] One step closer to heaven When my boots kick dust from the ledge Every breath Every second Is a match held close to the edge If I burn I burn ascended Turn the fall into a blessing One step closer to heaven With the ground just a rumor beneath me [Bridge] [Music drops to drums and claps Voices rising] Clap Clap Hands up high (hey!) Hear the chains drop Hear the doubt die Clap Clap Stomp that grave We were born to misbehave Hallelujah in the crossfire (hallelujah!) Hallelujah in the smoke (hallelujah!) If this is hell at the wire Then watch me turn it to a throne Hallelujah when I’m gasping Hallelujah when I choke Hallelujah in the breakdown I am not I am not alone [Breakdown] [Riffs slam in Crowd shouts] One step closer! (hallelujah) One step closer! (hallelujah) One step closer! (hallelujah) I’m still here I’m still here [Chorus] One step closer to heaven When my boots kick dust from the ledge Every breath Every second Is a match held close to the edge If I burn I burn ascended Turn the fall into a blessing One step closer to heaven With the ground just a rumor beneath me [Outro] Clap Clap Sing it loud (hallelujah) I was lost I am found (hallelujah) If this blood If this sweat is the price I’ll keep climbing till the sky cracks twice
