Lyrics
Do you hear them?The wings are breaking...The light is lying...
I kept a piece of heaven under glassA little fragile god from a borrowed pastYou said my name like a blessing turned to rustThen left your fingerprints in all my trust
I learned to breathe where the white walls crackedWith opal dust on my shoulder bladesEvery promise that never came backBecame a feather with a sharpened edge
I was not made for the cage of your graceNot made to smile with a veil on my faceSomething divine can still learn to crawlThen open its eyes at the end of the fall
Opal seraph, split the sky for meI am more than what you wanted me to beShimmering broken, violent and cleanA fallen little saint with a blade between her wings
Opal seraphLet the halos turn to stoneI don’t need your mercy nowI can rise alone
Your love was a chapel with the windows blackedA velvet little prison with a golden latchI sang so softly while the ceiling burnedAnd held the lesson every angel learned
The holy water froze inside my mouthWhen I tried to say I wanted outNow every star that watched me bleedFalls at my feet like a rosary
I am not pure, I am not lostI am the beauty of the costIf I must fall to be completeThen let the dark kneel under me
Opal seraph, split the sky for meI am more than what you wanted me to beShimmering broken, violent and cleanA fallen little saint with a blade between her wings
Opal seraphLet the halos turn to stoneI don’t need your mercy nowI can rise alone
There is a cathedral in my ribsWhere every hymn forgot to liveThere is a storm behind my eyesWearing the shape of paradise
I touched the lightIt bit me backSo I kissed the voidAnd painted it black
Clip the wingsBreak the glassLet the pretty little heaven pass
No more prayersNo more leashI am the angel underneath
Opal bloodCrystal teethI bloom in the war beneath
Seraph!Seraph!I don’t fallI descend!
White flame...Black snow...Soft voice...Hard soul...
Opal seraph, split the sky for meI am more than what you wanted me to beShimmering broken, violent and cleanA fallen little saint with a blade between her wings
Opal seraphLet the halos turn to stoneI don’t need your mercy nowI can rise alone
Opal seraphWatch the heavens lose their holdI was born from shattered lightAnd I return as something cold
Do you hear them?The wings are breaking...The light was lying...And I am free.
