[Verse 1] I met her in the ash Under thorn and bone Black hair, red hands Sitting on a stolen throne She wore the night like armor And my name like sin One look from Lilith And the fracture let me in [Verse 2] She bit the apple clean Left the core on the floor Said, "Child, I was free Long before your laws" Every chain got quieter Every saint looked pale When Lilith walked the altar Every iron gate turned frail [Pre-Chorus] Hear the serpent hymn Under skin and stone She don't kneel for mercy She makes mercy run When she says my name I feel the world split thin Like a prayer in flame Like a blade pulled in [Chorus] Lilith, Lilith Bone crown, black flame Lilith, Lilith Say it like a warning name She don't bow, she don't break She don't beg, she don't fade Lilith, Lilith Come and take the cage away [Verse 3] She taught me how to bite At the hands that held me small How to laugh at the mirror When it lied through it all In the garden of the ruined She was first, not last A red moon in the socket And a future made from glass [Pre-Chorus] Hear the serpent hymn Under skin and stone She don't kneel for mercy She makes mercy run When she says my name I feel the world split thin Like a prayer in flame Like a blade pulled in [Chorus] Lilith, Lilith Bone crown, black flame Lilith, Lilith Say it like a warning name She don't bow, she don't break She don't beg, she don't fade Lilith, Lilith Come and take the cage away [Bridge] Let the old kings choke on gold Let the whitewashed temples burn I was made from the noose and dust Now I know what I deserve If Eden was a door Then hell was just a lie Lilith in my bloodstream And I finally know why [Final Chorus] Lilith, Lilith Bone crown, black flame Lilith, Lilith Say it like a warning name She don't bow, she don't break She don't beg, she don't fade Lilith, Lilith Come and take the cage away Lilith, Lilith I was never made to kneel Lilith, Lilith Now my ruin feels like steel
