[Verse 1]
[Nephilim – male]
I crawled out of the crater
Blood in my teeth
Halo made of iron
Chained to my grief
Every prayer they poisoned
Carved in my skin
I was made in their image
Then thrown in the pit again
[Ambrosia – female]
I watched from the spire as they branded your name
Called it holy justice
I just tasted the flame
Tore my wings from their altar
Let the feathers burn black
I won’t sing for their kingdom
I’m not crawling back (no)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
Spitting at the throne
Let the choirs dim
Torn wings
Black crowns
We were built to break
From the bones of Eden
A new war wakes
[Male]
Write their lies in blood on the palace door
[Female]
I am the blade that they begged for more
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
Let the sky crack open
Let the dark begin
[Verse 2]
[Nephilim – male]
They called me abomination
First and last son
Buried under sermons
Beaten and shunned
Now I wear my scars like scripture on flesh
Every mark a curse they can never bless
[Ambrosia – female]
They dressed me in radiance
Shackled my hands
Fed me silver verses
Shackled my plans
I broke their glass heaven with a single scream
Now I hunt their prophets through their dying dream (hey)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
Spitting at the throne
Let the choirs dim
Torn wings
Black crowns
We were built to break
From the bones of Eden
A new war wakes
[Female]
I am the storm that their psalms denied
[Male]
I am the grave where their angels hide
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
Let the sky crack open
Let the dark begin
[Bridge]
[Male]
Kneel in the ruin
Hear your idols rust
Your golden mouthpieces choking on dust
[Female]
I tear the veil
I unmask the saint
Every shining halo painted in taint
[Both]
We raise a kingdom under the flood
Built on the outcasts
Baptized in mud
If this is sin
We will wear it proud
Let the fallen scream our names out loud (woah)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
Spitting at the throne
Let the choirs dim
Torn wings
Black crowns
We were built to break
From the bones of Eden
A new war wakes
[Male]
Crawl from the fire if you share our scar
[Female]
Sing like a wound
Like a burning star
[Both]
We are the ashes of the Nephilim
World of chains
We’re the fracture in
World of chains
We’re the fracture in
