Hell will take me now

Verse 1

Teeth on the curb of another dead dream

I bled faith till the bones went clean

You preached love with a loaded gun

Halo rusted in the godless sun

Breath tastes like kerosene

Heart’s a rusted guillotine

Every promise that you ever made

Was gasoline in the mess you made

Pre-Chorus

I clawed my way through the static and lies

You turned my heaven into vultures and flies

Chorus

Hell will take me now

I’m done with begging the sky

No angels coming down

Let the fires swallow the lies

I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t drown

If this is all that I am allowed

Then light the match and burn it out

Hell will take me now

Verse 2

You sewed my mouth with silver threads

Sold my soul just to keep me fed

Every scar is a crooked hymn

Every sin is a requiem

You wear your cross like a fashion piece

A crown of thorns made of plastic peace

Your holy war is a circus show

Blood on your hands that you’ll never own

Pre-Chorus

I tore the mask from the face of your truth

All I saw staring back was you

Chorus

Hell will take me now

I’m done with begging the sky

No angels coming

Let the fires swallow the lies

I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t drown

If this is all that I am allowed

Then light the match and burn it out

Hell will take me now

Verse

I wore my knees to the bone

Praying to statues of dust

I tied my hope to a ghost

And watched it crumble to rust

Pre-Chorus

I lit a match in the rain

Still, I was dying for light

If there’s a god in the storm

He never answered my cries

Chorus

Hell will take me now

I’m done with begging the sky

No angels coming

Let the fires swallow the lies

I won’t bow, I won’t break, I won’t drown

If this is all that I am allowed

Then light the match and burn it out

Hell will take me now

Bridge

If there’s a heaven above me

It locked the gates long ago

So let the devils that love me

Crown me in embers and smoke

Final Chorus

Hell will take me now

I’m done with begging the sky

No angels coming

No more believing their lies

If I’m forsaken

I’ll turn this fall into flight

Hell will take me now
