Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bite marks in the bible spine Ash stains on a wedding dress Halo hanging from a rearview mirror Turned into a rusted necklace I carved my doubt in the chapel door Splinters stuck under my skin They said “kneel down You’ll be forgiven” I stood up and learned to sin [Chorus] I wear rust in my halo (yeah) Gold flaked off in the rain If your heaven needs a scapegoat You can carve my name in the flame I wear rust in my halo Still I’m walking through the smoke If your god can’t take my questions Let your kingdom choke [Verse 2] Sunday smiles with a sharpened edge Blessings slipped in a velvet threat Crosses shining on the crooked salesmen Selling out the blood and the sweat I won’t bow to a paper throne Built on fear and tithes and shame Rip the script from the preacher’s hand I’ll rewrite my own damn name (hey!) [Chorus] I wear rust in my halo (yeah) Gold flaked off in the rain If your heaven needs a scapegoat You can carve my name in the flame I wear rust in my halo Still I’m walking through the smoke If your god can’t take my questions Let your kingdom choke [Bridge] Light the lie Let it burn through the stained glass sky If the truth survives It was never theirs to hide [Chorus] I wear rust in my halo (woah) Gold flaked off in the rain If your heaven needs a scapegoat You can carve my name in the flame I wear rust in my halo Still I’m walking through the smoke If your god can’t take my questions Let your kingdom choke

metal, Modern metal with downtuned, palm-muted guitars and a snarling mid-tempo groove. Male vocals that pivot from gritty melodic verses to feral screams on the hook. Tight, punchy drums with explosive tom fills; bass glues the riff. Chorus widens with gang shouts and octave guitars, bridge drops to half-time with dissonant chords before a final, climactic chorus.
