[Intro – Distant Bells / Piano / Choir] [Choir] Gloria... Miserere... Gloria... [Female Whisper] Something is wrong with the sky. [Orchestra Rising] [Verse 1] The first star fell at midnight. The second split the moon. Then every bell in Heaven Began to ring out of tune. Golden towers started shaking. White feathers filled the air. A million angels raised their eyes And found no answer there. Below us Hell was trembling. Its rivers turned to stone. For the first time since creation... Both kingdoms stood alone. [Pre-Chorus] I heard Heaven calling. I heard Hell scream my name. But I've already walked through both. And neither owns me today. [Chorus] WHEN HEAVEN FALLS, LET IT FALL! When golden kingdoms break, I won't crawl! WHEN HELL BURNS OUT, LET IT DIE! No throne above me, No chains below me, ONLY THIS LIFE! If eternity ends tonight, THEN LET ME LIVE BEFORE I DIE! [Verse 2] An angel found me in the ruins, Blood running down her face. “Please, you have to help us. You once belonged to this place.” Then from beneath the shattered earth The Devil raised his head. “Stand with me and save my kingdom.” I looked at both and said: “You never listened.” [Heavy Guitars] “Now listen.” [Pre-Chorus] I am not your fallen angel. I am not your chosen one. I don't exist to save the kingdoms That forgot what they had done. [Chorus] WHEN HEAVEN FALLS, LET IT FALL! When golden kingdoms break, I won't crawl! WHEN HELL BURNS OUT, LET IT DIE! No throne above me, No chains below me, ONLY THIS LIFE! If eternity ends tonight, THEN LET ME LIVE BEFORE I DIE! [Interlude – Piano] [Angel] Where will the dead go? [Demon] Where will the damned go? [Female] Maybe that's the problem. You divided every soul before they had finished living. [Choir Slowly Enters] [Female] Look down. [Angel] At what? [Female] Them. [Verse 3 – Building] Children sleeping through the thunder. Strangers pulling strangers free. Someone holding someone's hand Beside a dark and raging sea. No wings. No horns. No immortality. Just fragile little human lives Refusing not to be. And suddenly the war above Looked smaller than before. Heaven had its golden gates. Hell had its endless fire. But Earth... had something more. [Bridge – Female / Piano] One heartbeat that knows it will stop. One lifetime that knows it will end. One moment that cannot be repeated. Maybe that's why it matters. [Orchestra Explodes] [Breakdown] LET THE HALOS HIT THE GROUND! LET THE BROKEN BELLS RESOUND! LET THE DEVIL LOSE HIS THRONE! LET THE ANGELS STAND ALONE! NO MORE MASTER! NO MORE KING! NO MORE SOULS FOR YOU TO CLAIM! HEAVEN! HELL! REMEMBER THIS: WE WERE NEVER YOURS TO TAKE! [Choir] We are still here! [Female] LOUDER! [Choir] WE ARE STILL HERE! [Final Chorus] WHEN HEAVEN FALLS, WE WILL RISE! No golden gates Are worth our lives! WHEN HELL GOES DARK, WE'LL MAKE OUR LIGHT! No gods or demons Choose the road WE WALK TONIGHT! Let eternity disappear. Let every ancient kingdom fall. We have one life. One world. One chance. AND THAT IS WORTH IT ALL! [Instrumental – Orchestra / Guitar Solo / Choir] [Female – Over Music] I stood at Heaven's gates. I danced with the Devil. I wore a halo of thorns. I walked through the black cathedral. I burned my wings. And after everything... I finally understood. [Music Drops] I never needed another world. I needed this one. [Final Refrain – Full Band] WHEN HEAVEN FALLS! WE ARE STILL HERE! WHEN HELL GOES DARK! WE ARE STILL HERE! NO WINGS! WE ARE STILL HERE! NO HALOS! WE ARE STILL HERE! [Female] And while one heart still beats below... THIS WORLD IS NOT ALONE! [Outro – Same Piano Motif as Track 1] The sun rose. No gates opened. No angels descended. No Devil came. For the first time, the sky was only a sky. And beneath it... we lived.
