[Intro]
Ash on my tongue
Sun in my eyes
Pages on fire
Smoke in the sky
[Verse 1]
I was sleepwalking through the sirens
Dragged by the days in chains
Every mirror showed a stranger
Every prayer just hissed my name
Then the ground cracked
Slow and sideways
Silence cut through all the noise
I heard my own heart
Cold and hollow
Like a rusted
Empty voice
[Chorus]
Revelation in a shattered sky
All the pretty little lies run dry
If it burns
Let it burn
Let it die
I see truth in the whites of its eyes
Revelation in a shattered sky
Stand in the ruin
I’m still alive
If it hurts
Let it hurt
I won’t hide
This is the day that the dark and I divide
[Verse 2]
I saw saints carved into concrete
Selling halos
Trading blood
Golden teeth behind their scripture
Building temples out of mud
Then I tore the mask to splinters
Tasted iron
Dust
And fear
Every wound became a window
Every scar turned sharp and clear
[Chorus]
Revelation in a shattered sky
All the pretty little lies run dry
If it burns
Let it burn
Let it die
I see truth in the whites of its eyes
Revelation in a shattered sky
Stand in the ruin
I’m still alive
If it hurts
Let it hurt
I won’t hide
This is the day that the dark and I divide
[Bridge]
I won’t bow to hollow crowns (no more)
I won’t drink that poison down (no more)
If I fall
I fall awake
Let the idols break
Let the idols break
[Instrumental Guitar Solo]
[Rhythm drops to a stripped
Stomping riff while lead guitar rips a wah-heavy
Bending solo that climbs
Squeals
And spirals down into dissonant tremolo runs before locking back to the main groove]
[Chorus]
Revelation in a shattered sky
All the pretty little lies run dry
If it burns
Let it burn
Let it die
I see truth in the whites of its eyes
Revelation in a shattered sky
Stand in the ruin
I’m still alive
If it hurts
Let it hurt
I won’t hide
This is the day that the dark and I divide
