Wrong Side of Heaven

[Verse 1]
Ash in my lungs
Halo in rust
Angels keep their distance
When they smell this much dust
Boot prints on scripture
Blood in the seams
I prayed with a clenched fist
And fractured my dreams
[Chorus]
I’m on the wrong side of heaven
Right side of the fight
Raising my scars like a banner
In the black of the night
If I’m condemned for the fire
I’ll still burn for the light
On the wrong side of heaven
But I won’t kneel to the lie
[Verse 2]
Thorns in my footprints
Glass in my grace
Every saint I ever loved
Turned away their face
But out on the fault line
Where the outcasts stand
We trade broken commandments
Like blades in our hands (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’m on the wrong side of heaven
Right side of the fight
Raising my scars like a banner
In the black of the night
If I’m condemned for the fire
I’ll still burn for the light
On the wrong side of heaven
But I won’t kneel to the lie
[Bridge]
Did you ever hear a sinner
Sing louder than the choir?
Did you ever see a martyr
Who chose their own pyre?
[Breakdown]
[Clean guitars
Drums drop to toms]
If the gates stay closed
I’ll carve my own sky
With a sword of hope
And a battle cry (whoa)
[Chorus]
I’m on the wrong side of heaven
Right side of the fight
Raising my scars like a banner
In the black of the night
If I’m condemned for the fire
I’ll still burn for the light
On the wrong side of heaven
I’ll die screaming alive
[Outro]
Wrong side of heaven
Right side of the fight
Wrong side of heaven
Still reaching for light

metal, Epic power/speed metal ballad: clean male vocals with soaring high register, double-kick gallop in the verses, half-time, anthemic chorus. Twin lead guitars trade harmonized lines, bass locked tight with drums. First chorus restrained, later choruses stacked with gang vocals and octave-doubled leads. Mid-song breakdown drops to clean arpeggios and reverb-soaked vocal before exploding into a triumphant, shreddy solo and full-band finale., ballad, speed metal, power metal
