[Intro]
Ash on the altar
Smoke in my lungs
Steel in the thunder
War in our tongues
[Verse 1]
Torches in the black wind
Banners chewed by flame
Saints with broken halos
Spitting out their names
Every rusted church bell
Cracks on every strike
Choirs turn to war cries
Tearing through the night
[Chorus]
Tonight heaven shall burn
Let the holy sky turn red
Raise your scars
Let it roar
Screaming louder than the dead
Tonight heaven shall burn
From the gutter to the throne
If the angels won’t learn
We will set their gates in stone
[Verse 2]
Golden wings are falling
Melted in the storm
Scriptures cut to ribbons
Blood on every form
Kneeling’s for the old gods
Ours were never kind
Glory in the backlash
Fire in the mind
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Are you saved
Are you chained
By the stories that they sold you?
Did you bleed
Did you break
For a crown that never held you?
[crescendo
Higher screams]
We’re the curse
We’re the choir
We’re the teeth inside the prayer
When the sky cracks open wide
You will find us standing there
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
