[Intro] *lonely electric guitar* *wind in the distance* *heartbeat kick drum* *low church bell far away* [Verse 1] You came like fire through a stained-glass sky, Sweet like mercy, sharp like a knife. I gave you blood, I gave you breath, You kissed my lips and handed me death. We were gold in the candlelight, Now we’re thunder in a holy fight. Your name still burns under my skin, Like a prayer I can’t forget again. [Pre-Chorus] Jealous eyes and poison words, Broken vows that still get heard. Every touch became a scar, Every kiss pushed me too far. [Chorus] I’M CRUCIFIED BY LOVE TONIGHT, NAILED TO THE CROSS OF WRONG AND RIGHT. YOUR LOVE, YOUR HATE, THEY TORN ME APART, THORNS IN MY SOUL, NAILS IN MY HEART. I CARRY THIS PAIN LIKE JESUS CHRIST, BLEEDING FOR A LOVE SACRIFICED. BUT THROUGH THE DARK, ABOVE THE FLOOD, I STILL BELIEVE IN PEACE AND LOVE. *drums explode* *distorted guitars rise* [Verse 2] You wore desire like a crown of flame, Then fed my trust to your jealousy game. We screamed like wolves, we broke the room, Turned our bed into a living tomb. I saw your tears, you saw my rage, Two lost souls in a rusted cage. I hated you, I hated me, Still chained to what we used to be. [Pre-Chorus] Every night became a war, Slamming hearts against the door. But underneath the smoke and blame, A dying ember spoke your name. [Chorus] I’M CRUCIFIED BY LOVE TONIGHT, NAILED TO THE CROSS OF WRONG AND RIGHT. YOUR LOVE, YOUR HATE, THEY TORN ME APART, THORNS IN MY SOUL, NAILS IN MY HEART. I CARRY THIS PAIN LIKE JESUS CHRIST, BLEEDING FOR A LOVE SACRIFICED. BUT THROUGH THE DARK, ABOVE THE FLOOD, I STILL BELIEVE IN PEACE AND LOVE. [Guitar Solo] *slow crying bends* *melodic sustain* *blues-rock phrasing turns into soaring lead* *epic high note screams from the guitar* [Bridge] *music drops to toms and clean guitar* If love is war, then I’ve been slain, Baptized in fire, washed in pain. If hate is a crown, let it fall away, I don’t want darkness to make me stay. I forgive the cuts, I forgive the lies, I release the ghosts, I untie the knives. No more vengeance, no more night, Only truth can end this fight. *snare build* *guitars swelling* *choir-style backing vocals rise* [Crescendo] I was broken... I was blinded... I was drowning in the flame... But I’m rising... Still alive and Calling out your name... [Final Chorus] I WAS CRUCIFIED BY LOVE TOO LONG, BUT I FOUND MY FAITH INSIDE THIS SONG. YOUR LOVE, YOUR HATE, THEY MADE ME BLEED, BUT PAIN AIN’T THE END OF WHAT I NEED. LIKE JESUS CHRIST THROUGH BLOOD AND RAIN, I WALK THROUGH LOSS, I BREAK THE CHAINS. AND FROM THESE WOUNDS, FROM ASHES ABOVE, I CHOOSE FORGIVENESS, I CHOOSE LOVE. [Outro] *huge sustained guitar note* *bells faintly ringing* *heartbeat slows* *whispered backing vocal* Peace... Love...
