[Verse] Golden lies in gilded halls They preach of mercy But their silence calls Cloaked in light They wear their sin A game of grace they’ll never win [Prechorus] I'd rather walk with shadows near Their open truth My bitter cheer [Chorus] Give me demons with their scars No pretense No shining stars Their evil stands Their deeds are known While angels hide on broken thrones [Verse 2] Feathers fall from ashen skies Promises rot where the daylight dies The prayers they chant A hollow tune A wolf will howl beneath the moon [Prechorus] I'd rather hear the devil's cry Than drown beneath a saintly lie [Chorus] Give me demons with their scars No pretense No shining stars Their evil stands Their deeds are known While angels hide on broken thrones
