[Intro - Organ - Choir Hum - 3 Lines - All Different] [Organ, choir hum, heavy riff creeping] [Whisper] Dust on my halo, cracks where the light gets in. [Choir low] Prayed on cold floors where the night begins. [Sincere] One hand reaching up, one hand deep in sin. [Verse 1 - 10 Lines - All Different - Story] [Heavy groove riff, drums heavy, choir low] Walked through fire smiling, didn't feel the burn. Lost my first name, had to earn a new turn. Concrete knees, begging for a sign in smoke. Heard a voice say child, you still broke but woke. Knuckles bloody, cheeks wet, pockets gold. Soul still empty, even when the bed is cold. Every midnight I fight the man inside my skin. Every sunrise I try to let the light win. Bridges burned, I swim back to build them stone by stone. Sins I carried, let the river take them home. [Pre-Chorus - Trumpets - 4 Lines - All Different] [Trumpets enter, riff opens] I been running from the mercy, running from grace. Running from the mirror, scared to see my face. But love kept chasing me down that long dark road. Found me heavy, left me light from that heavy load. [Hook - 6 Lines - All Different - No Repeating Title] [Full band, trumpets, choir full] Lift me up when my knees give out in the night. Break these chains when the dark holds too tight. Wash my hands clean, I been counting the cost. Lead me to the place where nothing is lost. Hold me when the cold comes creeping in my bones. Call me home when it's time to finally go home. [Verse 2 - 10 Lines - All Different - New Story] [Heavy riff, choir answering different lines] Seen brothers turn to statues, hearts to ice and steel. Seen kisses turn to transactions, nothing left to feel. Seen heaven in a kid's eyes selling flowers in the rain. Seen hell in my own reflection, feeling all the pain. I ain't holy, I just try to keep my word. Every lie I told, the sky above still heard. Every wall I built to hide, I tear down with my hands. Let the flood come, let it clean these dirty lands. I was a wolf in a sheep's prayer, lost in the choir. Now I sing with the wolves just to lift me higher. [Bridge - Choir Acapella Then Heavy - 8 Lines - All Different] [Drums cut, choir only, organ] If tonight's my last night, let the voices sing clear. If tonight's my last night, let there be no fear. Let the horns blow loud enough to crack the sky. Let me stand where the lost ones learn to fly. [Heavy drop] Found in the noise, found in the holy sound. High on the ground where the lost get found. Free from the cage, free with the fire inside. Let that fire be the horse that I ride. [Final Hook - 6 Lines - All Different - No Repeat] [Biggest, trumpets high, choir full] Raise me when I'm low and can't stand alone. Free me when I'm bound to the flesh and bone. Clean me, I been walking through the mud and rain. Guide me to the streets made of gold again. Keep me when the night is wide and cold. Take me when my story's finally told. [Outro - 2 Lines - Different] [Organ + choir fade] [Whisper] Dust to dust... light to light... [Choir] Amen... [End]
