V4.5

[Verse 1] I walked in light, above the flame A voice of hope, without a name My wings were glass, so clear, so wide And still I heard him call inside [Verse 2] I rose from smoke, a crown of coal A thousand sins carved in my soul I saw her shine beyond my fire And bled in silence, torn by desire [Chorus] She sings of grace, I scream of war But still we meet at heaven’s door One bathed in white, one born from black We burn, we fall, we don’t turn back The Devil and the White Angel stand One with a sword, one with a hand [Verse 3] He touched my halo with a grin And painted shadows deep within He said, “You cannot love the flame…” But still I whispered out his name [Verse 4] She wept in light I couldn’t steal And yet her tears were all too real I broke a thousand souls in pride But not the one I longed to hide [Chorus] She breathes in dawn, I curse the dusk But in our eyes, the same old rust One made to guide, one made to burn Yet still we ache, and still we yearn The Devil and the White Angel meet Where fire and mercy share one seat [Bridge] He is the fall I cannot heal… She is the wound I cannot feel… Two forces bent, forever bound… In silence, where no end is found. [Final Chorus] The Devil weeps, the Angel breaks And all the world beneath them shakes Love like this can never be— But still they dance eternally One cursed to stay, one cursed to flee… The Devil… and the White Angel… and me.
