Seraph Hiding Horns in Your Serpent’s Halo by evoman - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I walk in with a borrowed halo, plastic shine on a poisoned crown

Sunday smile, but my blood runs fatal, every saint thought dragging down

You light candles in your serpent’s den, say a prayer with a forked tongue hiss

Tell me “bless me, fallen seraphim,” pull my mask off with a midnight kiss

[Pre-Chorus]

You trace the cracks in my porcelain grace

Lick the dust off the gold on my face

You say, “I only worship what can break”

So I let my hidden horns awake

[Chorus]

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show

You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”

So I bled on your altar just to watch you glow

You sink your teeth in every part I fake

Turn my stained-glass ribs into a cage you shake

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

But you kiss like you came here for the devil in my ….soul

[Verse 2]

You got scripture carved in collarbones, every verse is a sin you swore

Every “hallelujah” in your throat just drips gasoline on the floor

You wrap my halo in barbed wire hands, drag it down ‘til it cuts my skin

Whisper, “show me all the hell you hide, I’ll make a cathedral out of your …sin”

[Pre-Chorus]

You peel the white from my wolf disguise

Say, “no more mercy in those eyes”

You crown me king of the compromised

And bow to every truth I tried to hide

[Chorus]

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show

You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”

So I bled on your altar just to watch you glow

You sink your teeth in every part I fake

Turn my stained-glass ribs into a cage you shake

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

But you kiss like you came here for the devil in my …..soul

[Bridge – softer, then build]

On my knees in your pews made of venom

Hands together but I ain’t tryna bless ‘em

You say, “confess, let the blackness in”

So I let my demon breathe through my skin

If holiness is just costume seams

Rip ‘em open, let the redlight leak

If heaven’s just a lie we sell at the door

Then drag me to the back and lock it, I’m yours

[Breakdown – screamed]

Tear off the halo, let the horns burst through

If I’m your fallen thing, I fall for you

Seraph in chains in your serpent’s room

Turn my halo to a noose and I’ll still come ….back to you

[Final Chorus – bigger / last line twist]

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

In your serpent’s den, I finally let ‘em show

You said, “angel, quit pretending you ain’t low”

So I set fire to my mask just to watch you glow

You feast on every fracture in my faith

Turn my stained-glass ribs into a throne you take

I’ve been hiding my horns with a halo

Now I’m crowned in your poison and I like how it burns my ……….soul
