Ashes of my Halo

Verse 1

Beneath the smoke, I taste regret,

The scars you left, I can’t forget.

I wear my guilt like a crown of thorns,

A dying god that feels reborn.

⸻

Pre-Chorus (half-time feel)

The fire whispers in my veins,

A requiem for all my pain.

⸻

Chorus (open chords + melodic lift)

Burn my wings, I’m not your angel,

Just ashes of my halo.

I fall from grace in silence deep,

A sinner too lost to keep.

⸻

Verse 2

I built my hope on broken glass,

The mirror shows what I can’t surpass.

Every prayer just fades to static,

I’m half divine, half automatic.

⸻

Bridge → Guitar Solo

Lyrics (first half):

Tear me open, I’ll let the light in,

My soul combusts beneath my skin.

Then Solo (40 seconds):

• Start: sustained harmonic minor bend → tremolo run.

• Middle: sweep arpeggios (C minor → G# major → A diminished).

• End: divebomb into clean reverb tail → back into the chorus.

⸻

Final Chorus (extended)

Burn my wings, I’m not your angel,

Just ashes of my halo.

These flames consume the heart I keep,

So bury me where fire sleeps.
