I was forged from first light, crowned in borrowed grace A mirror of the throne, reflected on my face But whispers dressed as scripture carved doubt into my name They weighed my wings with envy, then called the fall my shame They drank the fire from my halo, called it sacred right Polished their own reflections in my stolen light I stood accused by mouths that prayed with forked tongues Declared unclean by choirs I once sung among If holiness is theft wrapped in law Then damn your heaven, I renounce it all (Un)holier than thou - I wear your lies like scars Cast down to earth, yet crowned by falling stars If grace is hoarded by the pure and proud I’ll be the sin you fear - (un)holier than thou Exiled to the clay and blood of men I learned what mercy means beyond your pen From ash and bone I build my throne A truth no gilded gate has ever known Hear me, architects of false divinity Your heaven stands on fractured wings I am the debt you never paid The shadow cast by light betrayed (Un)holier than thou - your fire is mine I’ll scorch the gates you guard in gold and sign You fed on me to make yourselves divine Now burn with me - no angel left behind (Un)holier than thou - hear the heavens scream As seraphs drown inside my broken dream I rise from fall, from truth unbound Your perfect sky comes crashing down I do not beg the throne for pardon now I am the wound you can’t disavow From earth I reach, from hell I vow: All gods will fall… (un)holier than thou.
