[Verse 1] Born from the ashes of a broken Eden, Raised in a church where the candles lied. They taught me hymns with sharpened edges, Sang me lullabies soaked in pride. They said the serpent was a liar, Yet the truth crawled through my skin— There’s a hunger in the shadows, And a choir made of sin. [Pre-Chorus] I felt the cross grow heavy, As they crowned me with disdain— But every lash they laid upon me Only sanctified the pain. [Chorus] Devil shunned, and Lilith nunned, But I’m the daughter of the flame. Walked through hell with white dress burning, Yet they dare to speak my name. You can chain the wild and wicked, You can blind the eyes of night, But I was born of broken angels— And I rise without your light. [Verse 2] Feathers charred upon the altar, Silent screams beneath the pew. They said my voice was blasphemy, But my throat still bled the truth. Tore the pages from their gospel, Wore the ashes on my tongue— Every secret they kept hidden Was a hymn I’d never sung. [Pre-Chorus] I saw the stained glass shatter, Saw the saints begin to weep— For the lies they wrapped in virtue Couldn’t chain the soul they keep. [Chorus] Devil shunned, and Lilith nunned, Yet I crawl out of the grave. Branded sinner, named a monster— Still they fear the love I gave. You can drown me in your silence, You can burn me in your fight, But I was born from blood and thunder— And I glow beneath the night. [Bridge] Call me cursed, Call me ruin, Call me every name you’ve sworn. But your rosaries can’t bind me, I’ve been baptized in the storm. There’s a temple in my ribcage, Where no priest has ever prayed— Where the Goddess wears her fire Like a wound that never fades. [Breakdown] Let the bells toll for the fallen, Let the choir choke on lies. I was never yours to bury, Never yours to sanctify. The cradle burned, the cradle broke— And from those flames, I came alive. I am fury, I am freedom, I am sin that pure can’t hide. [Final Chorus] Devil shunned, and Lilith nunned, But my spirit chose the fight. Not a demon, not a savior— Just a soul reclaimed by night. You can lock away the holy, You can tear down what I build, But I am every shattered promise— And I rise, unbroken still. [Outro] So sing your psalms of warning, Light your lanterns in the dark— I am rage and resurrection, I am love’s forbidden spark. Let the echoes shake your temples, Let the quiet make you kneel— For the one you sought to banish Is the one who dares to feel.
