12. Rage Against the Throne

V1RV$

Lyrics:

You forgot our names

So we’ll burn yours into the sky

If we fight

You die

I claw the vault of heaven with broken fingertips

Your silence is a crown of rusted nails it slips

I wear it inverted let the blood drip on your coat

Rip constellations from the sky stuff them in my throat

You promised reckoning delivered a shrug

Left us gagged under the altar like forgotten slugs

Well the altar’s overturned done out of spite

And every saint you ignored just learned how to fight

You sat on high

We bled down below

You thought we would die

Now we drag high into the low

Rage against the throne

This ain't a fucking game

Rage against the throne

God you forgot our fucking names

You expected us to follow your every word

Now the stage has been set

We are the scream you never heard

We are the scream you never heard

I drink the wine you offered but never showed

Spit it on the cherubim watch their halos corrode

Your mercy was a scalpel your justice a blank page

We’re the ink made of bile writing across the stage

The seraphim are screaming wings clipped soon deceased

Feathers rain like judgment you never released

I set fire to the scroll turn your book into smoke

If heaven won’t answer then heaven can choke

Throne room breach silent breach breach the silence

Angels on their knees tongues out taste the violence

I’m the blaspheme machine scripture in reverse

Every syllable a bullet every breath a curse

You fucked with us I brought my own apocalypse

You rite the scripts I topple the monoliths

Subliminal messages bouncing around in your head

Is it to much let me know ill replace it with lead instead

Light it with the burning bush inhale the smoke of lies

Exhale a middle finger big enough to blind the skies

You said “wait” I say “never again”

I’m the wrath you denied no more fucking amens

Crown of thorns? Cute I wear galaxies as spikes

Drag your carcass through the void on a string of dead mics and spikes

Bow down bitch the martyrs learned to bite

This is the uprising of the ones you left to die

Nice try

You forgot our names

So well let yours die

Rage against the throne

We tear the silence from its frame

Rage against the throne

Gods that forgot our fucking name

We are the scream you tried to kill

The vengeance you denied

Now the altar burns beneath us

And heaven’s out of time

Your throne is ash

Your name is dust

We remember ours

And that’s enough
