[Verse 1]
Woke up to a blood-red sky
Concrete cracked
But the flags stay high
Crowds chant names that they don’t believe
Kiss that crown while their teeth still bleed
You sell fear like a holy drug
Silver tongue in a velvet glove
Every promise is a loaded gun
Pull the trigger just to watch us run
[Chorus]
Dark angel of the world
Spreading broken wings
Let the ashes swirl
You turn gold into rust
Feed on hope
Turn it back to dust
Dark angel of the world
Hear the iron hearts as they’re being hurled
Through the fire
Through the lies you hurl
We will rise against a poisoned world
[Verse 2]
Billboards preach what the screens decree
Every thought has a barcode fee
You draw lines that divide the weak
Call it peace when you crush who speak
I see kids with their heads bowed low
Praying hard to the TV glow
You crown idols made of plastic shame
Light the match
Then deny the flame
[Chorus]
Dark angel of the world
Spreading broken wings
Let the ashes swirl
You turn gold into rust
Feed on hope
Turn it back to dust
Dark angel of the world
Hear the iron hearts as they’re being hurled
Through the fire
Through the lies you hurl
We will rise against a poisoned world
[Bridge]
Take your throne of screaming glass (screaming glass)
Hear it crack with every gasp
Every soul you tried to chain
Writes your sentence in the rain (in the rain)
[Chorus]
Dark angel of the world
Spreading broken wings
Let the ashes swirl
You turn gold into rust
Feed on hope
Turn it back to dust
Dark angel of the world
Hear the iron hearts as they’re being hurled
Through the fire
Through the lies you hurl
We will rise
We will rise
We will rise against a poisoned world
