Light it up

Song I wrote for a story I'm writing.

The sky cracked wide, and I felt the fall

A whisper crawled through the ashes of it all

[Verse 1]

Stone by stone, we built our cage

Fed the fire, then cursed the blaze

You preached the truth with a loaded tongue

Your halo burned while the sirens sung

[Pre-Chorus]

We were the fire, we were the flood

Trading our veins for holy blood

[Chorus]

Light it up, let the heavens scream

Tear the veil from the shattered dream

We were never clean, never innocent

Strike the match burn it all again

[Verse 2]

You wore your crown of rust and pride

The kingdom lost, but you still lied

Dragged us down to your sacred war

Prayed for peace with your hand on the door

[Pre-Chorus]

We were the storm, we were the end

And every savior was just pretend

[Chorus]

Light it up, let the heavens scream

Tear the veil from the shattered dream

We were never clean, never innocent

Strike the match burn it all again

[Bridge]

(Ohhh, let it fall)

Bury the gods we made

(Ohhh, let it fall)

No light left in the blade

(Ohhh, let it fall)

Truth don’t need a name

We were born to break the chain

[Chorus]

Light it up, let the heavens scream

Tear the veil from the shattered dream

We were never clean, never innocent

Strike the match burn it all again

[Outro]

Burn it all again

Burn it all again

We rise when we descend
