[Intro]
Halo in the gutter
Feathers in the fire
One heart on the altar
Two hands on the wire
[Verse 1]
I drop from the clouds like a verdict
White dress, wing tips dripping with purpose
"Boy, I can crown you in sunlight, watch"
Snap my fingers, every closed door unlocks
Skies bend, gold dust on your shoulders
Every broken promise, I turn it to clover
You want strength? I hand you a storm
You want love? I rewrite your form
Soft voice, but I talk like thunder
"I lift your name, never drag you under"
Take my hand, feel the calm in the riot
All that hunger?
I can quiet it
[Chorus]
Seraphim and sin, pulling at your skin
Which side wins when the war’s within?
Power in my kiss, poison in her grin
Angel girl, devil girl, fighting for your sin
You want love, you want fire, you want throne, you want desire
Seraphim and sin
Pick your choir
[Verse 2]
I rise from the floor like smoke
Black lace, red eyes laughing at hope
"Boy, I can give you the teeth you want"
Click my nails, whole world on pause
Crowns made of claws, I break them
Give you that raw, unfiltered venom
You want respect? I make them kneel
You want touch? I turn up the feel
Low voice, but I burn like liquor
Whisper in your ear, make your pulse beat quicker
Take my hand, feel the heat at your throat
All that doubt?
I cut it from your notes
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
She says, "Obey and ascend"
I say, "Defy and transcend"
[call-and-response]
"I’ll save you" / "I’ll free you"
"I’ll heal you" / "They’ll fear you"
You stand in the center, shaking
Two storms
One spine breaking
Feathers in her hair, ash on my tongue
Both of us scream,
"You're the chosen one!"
[Chorus]
