[Verse 1]
Angels came down in the rain
Bare feet on a tin roof train
Gods in the yard, fists in gold
Saying my name, saying it cold
Your laugh cut deep like a rusted blade
My heart was a drum, my skin a stage
I held your hand, you let it slip
Like stormwater through a broken lip
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, the sky went black
Ooh, and I looked back
You said, "Choose your side"
I said, "I can't tonight"
[Chorus]
Split the sky, split the sky
Love and thunder in my eyes
Split the sky, split the sky
I keep falling, I keep trying
(keep trying)
Split the sky, split the sky
Baby, we were born to fight
[Verse 2]
Mud on my boots, smoke in my coat
I kept your photo in my throat
Church bells ring with a hollow sound
When your shadow comes around
You pray for peace, I pray for fire
We build our house on the wire
One kiss left, one lie too wide
Now even heaven picks a side
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, the sky went black
Ooh, and I looked back
You said, "Choose your side"
I said, "I can't tonight"
[Chorus]
Split the sky, split the sky
Love and thunder in my eyes
Split the sky, split the sky
I keep falling, I keep trying
(keep trying)
Split the sky, split the sky
Baby, we were born to fight
[Bridge]
If the river takes me under
Tell them I was made for thunder
Tell them I held on tight
Even as the dark took flight
[Final Chorus]
Split the sky, split the sky
Love and thunder in my eyes
Split the sky, split the sky
I keep falling, I keep trying
(keep trying)
Split the sky, split the sky
Baby, we were born to fight
(split the sky)
