Ashes for a Halo

Verse 1 (rock · restrained anger)

The silence in heaven is louder tonight,

Your throne stands empty in the light

They whisper your name like a fading prayer,

But none of them dare to say it’s unfair

They call it justice, call it fate,

But I can feel the trembling gates

⸻

Pre-Chorus (quiet rage building)

They think the war is over now…

They think we’ll let this fade somehow

⸻

Chorus (huge rock musical hit)

If hell wants war, then let it start

I’ll tear their shining lie apart

Stone by stone, flame by flame

They’ll remember Adam’s name

Let the sky fall, let angels cry

I’ll drag their hope into the fire

If heaven lost its guiding star

Then hell will drown in holy war

⸻

Verse 2 (planning, colder tone)

I know the place where sinners hide,

Their little palace built on pride

They sing of change, redemption’s lie,

But I’ve seen demons smile and lie

The doors will break, the walls will fall,

I’ll burn the mercy from it all

⸻

Pre-Chorus 2 (emotion cracks)

You were the sword, the voice, the flame…

And heaven will not be the same

⸻

Chorus (bigger, choir backing)

If hell wants war, then let it start

I’ll tear their shining lie apart

Stone by stone, flame by flame

They’ll remember Adam’s name

Let the sky fall, let angels cry

I’ll drag their hope into the fire

If heaven lost its guiding star

Then hell will drown in holy war

⸻

Bridge (quiet, grief breaking through)

You said the sinners could not change…

You swore the war would stay the same

(voice cracks slightly)

But now your halo’s turned to ash…

And heaven’s light feels built on glass

(music swells again)

⸻

Final Chorus (rage + grief together)

If hell wants war, then let it start

I’ll carve your justice in their hearts

Brick by brick, scream by scream

I’ll burn away their fragile dream

Let the sky fall, let angels cry

Let every demon watch it die

You took the light that led our way—

Now hell will pay

⸻

Outro (soft but chilling)

Rest now, Adam…

I’ll finish the war.
