[INTRO — whispered, almost spoken; distant electrical hum, reversed guitar, heartbeat-like kick] He saw the light. He knew what it was. He wasn't deceived. He chose the dark. [VERSE 1 — tight distorted bass, syncopated drums, restrained rap-singing] No fog in his eyes No shadow in the truth No lie to hide behind No ignorance to use He knew the weight He knew the Name He saw the glory And still walked away Not wounded by doubt Not blinded by fear The choice was made And the choice stayed here [PRE-CHORUS — instruments begin opening up] And I keep saying, "There's still tomorrow." As if tomorrow Belongs to me But every little "no" Can teach my heart To stop hearing When You call me [CHORUS — explosive melodic vocals, huge guitars] NO RETURN For the angels who fell Not because Your mercy failed Not because You wouldn't forgive NO RETURN They saw You and still said no One final yes One final no But I'm still breathing I'm still here So break my pride Before I disappear [POST-CHORUS — gang vocals, distorted bass hook] WAKE UP WAKE UP While there's still a choice [VERSE 2 — groove becomes more chaotic] Satan isn't Your opposite He's only dust that learned to speak A creature reaching for the throne That never belonged to him He can tempt He can accuse He can whisper He can bruise But he can't write The ending of a soul You haven't finished yet So why do I listen Like the darkness has won? Why do I live Like repentance can wait? [PRE-CHORUS — stripped down, vocal almost spoken] You don't owe me tomorrow You gave me today And mercy isn't weakness It's a door that won't stay open forever [CHORUS — bigger] NO RETURN For the angels who fell Not because Your mercy failed Not because You wouldn't forgive NO RETURN They saw You and still said no One final yes One final no But I'm still breathing I'm still here So break my pride Before I disappear [BRIDGE — everything drops; clean guitar, distant vocal] Could he come home? No. Not because Heaven is cruel. Because the choice was complete. [WHISPERED] And I... I still have a choice. [BUILD — kick returns, distorted noise rising] So if You call— I will answer. If You convict— I will turn. If I fall— I will get back up. If pride says, "Tomorrow"— I will say— [BREAKDOWN — crushing half-time] TODAY. TODAY. TODAY. I WILL NOT WAIT. [FINAL CHORUS — chaotic, massive, melodic + screamed accents] NO RETURN For the angels who fell But mercy is reaching me now While I'm still alive NO RETURN They chose the darkness they knew But You are calling me Out of mine I don't want A hardened heart I don't want To learn the dark If there's a road Back to You— I'M TURNING NOW. [OUTRO — instruments collapse; whispered vocal] He cannot repent. I can. So I will. [Silence]
