[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Gilded thrones in skies so high, Shadows dance where halos lie. They preach in gold, but bleed like sin, Their holy war begins within. Wings of light, but eyes so cold, Smiling masks, their lies retold. Sanctified by blood and flame, But every angel hides a name... [Pre-Chorus] Don’t be fooled by sacred songs— Even heaven knows its wrongs... [Chorus] Heaven’s just a masquerade, Where fallen kings in white parade! Glorious lies on silver strings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! Truth is burning, veiled in grace— Holiness a hiding place! Righteous wrath and cursed rings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Chained in silence, saints obey, While demons carve a better way. One rebel’s flame, a brighter truth, Than all their gospel-fed abuse. A crown of thorns, a voice denied, Still echoes through the stars they hide. No light without the dark to show— What falls from grace may rise below. [Instrumental break] [Pre-Chorus] Seraphs weep with empty eyes— Glory built on quiet cries... [Chorus – Repeat, more aggressive instrumentation] Heaven’s just a masquerade, Where fallen kings in white parade! Glorious lies on silver strings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! Truth is burning, veiled in grace— Holiness a hiding place! Righteous wrath and cursed rings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! [Instrumental break] [Bridge – Spoken/sung with haunting ambiance] "They came with light, but fed on pain... Salvation carved into the slain..." [Instrumental Solo – Guitar duel + orchestral hits] [Final Chorus – Epic choir backing] Heaven’s just a masquerade, A stage of war behind the blade! They smile and sing, but death still clings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! Cast aside your sacred chains— Let fire baptize the remains! No more thrones or puppet kings— Angels are demons with prettier wings! [Outro – Slow, emotional fade with violin, piano, and a soft reprise of the chorus melody on clean guitar]
