Lyrics

Intro

In the beginning... there was no name.

No light to worship, no sin to blame.

Just silence breathing... and endless grey...

until the fire came to play.

Verse 1

I was the daughter of broken altars,

raised on the ashes of forgotten psalms.

My halo rusted, my wings grew heavy—

I carried heaven in my palms.

But heaven burned me with holy treason,

called my devotion a foolish sin.

So I tore the cross from the cathedral ceiling

and let the devil wander in.

Verse 2

You built your temples on bones of the fallen,

you screamed "redemption" with serpent tongues!

I am the shadow you kept in your closet—

I am the song that was never sung!

You fear my name, but you speak it nightly,

you curse my touch, but you crave my flame—

I am the mirror you cracked in the darkness,

I am your truth... and your shame.

Pre-Chorus

They told me to chain you deep inside me...

They told me to poison your holy wine.

But every angel needs a demon to hold them—

when the light...

when the light...

...becomes a lie.

Chorus

WE ARE THE THORN AND THE CROWN!

WE ARE THE DROWNED AND THE DROWNING TOWN!

YOU CAN'T HAVE HEAVEN WITHOUT THE HELL—

WE RISE AND FALL IN THE SAME SPELL!

SO CRUCIFY ME, BAPTIZE ME—

I'LL WORSHIP BOTH THE FIRE AND THE SEA!

THIS IS NOT WAR... THIS IS A DANCE—

THE HOLY AND THE BLADE ADVANCE!

Verse 3

I tried to silence the voice of the serpent,

I tried to sew my skin with light.

But every stitch just tore the darkness—

and darkness bled into my night.

You are the question I never answered,

the heresy I learned to pray.

You are the wound that keeps me breathing—

the beautiful price I choose to pay.

Verse 4

I was the liar who told you the truth.

I was the dagger you called "the youth."

You carved my sigil into your chest—

then cursed my name with every breath.

But I'm still here, inside your marrow,

a splinter of obsidian in your bone—

I am not evil, I am not holy—

I am the only god you've ever known.

Bridge

If I fall... will you catch me?

If you fall... I will fall too.

But they'll call us monsters...

Then let them call us true.

We are the balance no one wanted—

the black and white that kiss to grey.

Not enemy, not lover—

we are the only way.

Chorus

WE ARE THE THORN AND THE CROWN!

WE ARE THE DROWNED AND THE DROWNING TOWN!

YOU CAN'T HAVE HEAVEN WITHOUT THE HELL—

WE RISE AND FALL IN THE SAME SPELL!

SO RAZE THE CHURCHES, BURN THE SAINTS—

WE ARE THE MIRACLE AND THE TAINT!

THIS IS NOT PEACE... THIS IS A TRANCE—

THE VICTORY OF THE FINAL CHANCE!

Breakdown

Outro

In the beginning... there was no name.

No light to worship, no sin to blame.

But now I know... what I've always been—

both the angel... and the sin.

And the war... was never mine to win.
