[Verse] The stars preach high from their frozen thrones Their lips drip gold but their hearts are stones They whisper virtue in the velvet air Then cut your spine without a single care [Chorus] Celestial daggers gleam so bright They stab in shadow not in light Preach me virtue sing me lies While their halos burn the skies [Verse 2] They wear their wings like a saint’s disguise But their feathers fall and reveal their lies The hymns they chant are poisoned wine Sweet on the tongue but deadly in time [Bridge] Virtue’s a mask they slip and slide Behind the glow their darkness hides No gods no angels just puppets of greed A hollow chorus we never need [Chorus] Celestial daggers gleam so bright They stab in shadow not in light Preach me virtue sing me lies While their halos burn the skies [Outro] Oh Celestial daggers pierce the soul Leave me empty leave me cold Speak of heaven with a serpent’s kiss In a world like this Who needs bliss?
