Wings of Velvet Fire

Intro — Soft / Cinematic

You looked like heaven in a blackout,

Halo bent beneath the rain.

I knew your light would burn me hollow,

But I reached for it anyway.

Verse 1 — Clean / Brooding

There's a cathedral in your shadow,

Stained glass eyes and a mouth like sin.

You kiss like thunder through the window,

Then leave me shaking in my skin.

I wore my pride like a crown of paper,

Watched it catch beneath your flame.

Now every prayer sounds like your whisper,

And every wound repeats your name.

Pre-Chorus — Rising

If we're doomed, let the sky confess it.

If we fall, let the stars regret it.

I'd rather burn where your body glows

Than live untouchd in the dark alone.

Chorus — Huge / Anthemic

So pull me closer to the fire,

Let me crash into your light.

You're the angel of my ruin,

I'm the sinner dressed in white.

If love is a blade, let it cut me clean,

Carve your name where my heart should be.

I'll fall from heaven just to hold you higher,

On wings of velvet fire.

Verse 2 — Darker / Rhythmic

Your touch is sweet like a loaded altar,

Soft as smoke, but it bends my bones.

I taste the gold in your disaster,

And call it grace when it drags me home.

We move like ghosts in the mirror flash,

Lipstick red on a funeral glass.

You say, "Don't save me, I'm already gone,"

I say, "Then take me where you belong."

Pre-Chorus — Rising / Urgent

If we're cursed, let the night come crown us.

If we bleed, let the moon surround us.

I'd rather die in your afterglow

Than be untouchd by a love this close.

Chorus — Huge / Anthemic

So pull me closer to the fire,

Let me crash into your light.

You're the angel of my ruin,

I'm the sinner dressed in white.

If love is a blade, let it cut me clean,

Carve your name where my heart should be.

I'll fall from heaven just to hold you higher,

On wings of velvet fire.

Bridge — Intimate / Haunted

You are the fever in the marble,

The rose growing out of the grave.

I am the boy with the broken halo,

Still begging the burn to stay.

Say my name like a secret,

Say it cruel, say it kind.

I'll tear the sun from the ceiling

Just to watch it light your eyes.

Breakdown — Heavy / Screamed

Love me like the end is near.

Drag me through the atmosphere.

If I turn to ash, don't look away.

Breathe me in and make me stay.

I flew too close, but I wanted the scar.

I lost my wings when I found your heart.

Heaven can keep every golden gate.

I found my god in the fall from grace.

Final Chorus — Explosive

So pull me closer to the fire,

Let me crash into your light.

You're the angel of my ruin,

I'm the sinner dressed in white.

If love is a blade, let it cut me clean,

Carve your name where my heart should be.

I'll fall from heaven just to hold you higher,

On wings of velvet fire.

Outro — Soft / Devastated

You looked like heaven in a blackout,

I looked like someone left to burn.

But if your love is the fall that kills me,

I'll call it flying when I return.
