Metal Paradise

Intro

Mm

Mm-mm

Ashen

Verse 1

Found the gate behind the chapel bones

Moss-crowned and crying rust

I pressed my palm into the wound

It swallowed every drop of trust

Pre-Chorus

Black wings folding over

Black wings folding me down

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Verse 2

Ravens wept the liturgy

Scribes of bone and gall

I signed my name in winter fire

Beneath the cathedral's fall

Pre-Chorus

Black wings folding over

Black wings folding me down

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Bridge

Baptised in obsidian rain

Cursed and crowned again

Baptised in obsidian rain

Choir of the dead amen

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Where the light drowns

Where the light drowns

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

I carved the sigil in my chest

With a shard of altar glass

The moon bled through the shroud of pines

And wept upon the grass

Pre-Chorus

Black wings folding over

Black wings folding me down

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Verse 4

Hollow nuns in funeral lace

Peel the skin from prayer

I drank the marrow of the sky

Swallowed every dying star

Pre-Chorus

Black wings folding over

Black wings folding me down

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Bridge

Mother of the hollow choir

Take my tongue and name

Mother of the hollow choir

Crucify my flame

Interlude

(Sing me)

(Sing me down)

(In the marrow)

(In the crown)

Verse 5

The abbess wears a crown of moths

She whispers through the veil

Her fingers count the vertebrae

Of every soul I failed

Chorus

A black metal paradise

Thorns for a crown

A black metal paradise

Where the light drowns

Outro

Where the light drowns

Where the light drowns

(Amen)

(Amen)

Amen
