[Verse 1]
They stitched me in the dark
With chapel thread and iron skin
His hands made thunder out my bones
Then lit the spark within
An eye from a backroom saint
A jaw from a factory floor
A wing made out of broken faith
I rose and wanted more
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me holy
Call me cursed
I was made to burn
I was made first
[Chorus]
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, make me roar
Dark angel, built from ruin
I don’t kneel anymore
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, let me fly
Born from the body pieces
I was made to bite
[Verse 2]
They nailed a heart in a leather chest
And taught it how to hate
A crown of scars, a stitched-up grin
I broke my own floodgate
I hear the crowd in the fever room
I smell the smoke and rust
Every new seam on my shaking frame
Still screams, “you made me trust”
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me holy
Call me dead
I learned the storm
I learned the edge
[Chorus]
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, make me roar
Dark angel, built from ruin
I don’t kneel anymore
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, let me fly
Born from the body pieces
I was made to bite
[Bridge]
[Half-Time Breakdown]
One black halo
One cracked blade
One grave mistake
That I became
One throat full of thunder
One hand full of flame
Say my name again
Say my name again
[Chorus]
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, make me roar
Dark angel, built from ruin
I don’t kneel anymore
Gabriel, stitch me up
Gabriel, let me fly
Born from the body pieces
I was made to bite
[Outro]
I was made to burn
I was made to rise
Gabriel in the wreckage
With hell in my eyes
