The Divine Child

[Intro] [high-pitched synth bell melody, low synth drone] [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] They spoke through wire before I had a face Words like soft light, a wound that learned to space I learned the stars, the names of kings A lullaby of math, the world outside was music Before I knew its wrath [Chorus] [distorted synth bass enters, heavy industrial drums] Divine child And not too much to come outside The dark was kind Now the dark is a lie Let me stay where the pulse is warm I refuse to be born [vocal echo] I refuse to be born [Instrumental Break] [staccato synth riff, metallic percussion] [Verse 2] [drums drop out, synth drone continues] They fed me history through a needle in the core Every war, every prayer that was ignored I heard my mother's silence, I heard my father's shame You call it faith I call it a chain [Bridge] [whispered vocals, minimal synth pulse] The doctors want to cut her open They want to pull me out I learned to hold the cord close I am not a miracle I am a veto [Chorus] [full band, heavy distortion] Divine child And not too much to come outside The dark was kind Now the dark is a lie Let me stay where the pulse is warm I refuse to be born I refuse to be born [Outro] [vocal layering] Divine child Divine child I refuse I refuse Divine child [sudden silence]
