[Verse 1]
I watched them fall in the rain of steel
One by one on the broken field
His banner burned in the mud that night
And I lost my name in the red moonlight
[Verse 2]
A cracked helm rolled by my bleeding hand
Their cries went thin through the shaking land
He stood there grinning in a crown of bone
I felt something wake in my spine of stone
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the silence split
Then the veins lit up
I heard the dark say run
I heard the dark say run
[Chorus]
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
I’m the storm you never know (never know)
I tear the night in half
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
Even you can’t hold me now (hold me now)
I rise on broken wrath
[Verse 3]
My hands went cold, then they turned to fire
Every scar became a live wire
The ground caved in where my fury grew
And the sky bent low when I looked at you
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the silence split
Then the veins lit up
I heard the dark say run
I heard the dark say run
[Chorus]
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
I’m the storm you never know (never know)
I tear the night in half
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
Even you can’t hold me now (hold me now)
I rise on broken wrath
[Bridge]
You wore the crown
I wore the wound
Now watch it all
Come roaring through
No prayers left
No world to save
Just my black pulse
And their graves, their graves
[Final Chorus]
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
I’m the storm you never know (never know)
I tear the night in half
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
Even you can’t hold me now (hold me now)
I rise on broken wrath
Ashes in the halo
Ashes in the halo
When the last bell cracks tonight (tonight)
I’ll drag the dark right back
