[Verse 1]
Ash in my teeth
Cross on the rearview, cracked and cheap
Prayers in a voice note
Half drunk, half joke, still chokes when I speak
You called me sinner
Laughing while you poured that wine
Said, “Pick a side or stay divided”
I drew a halo in the dirt, then a line
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been baptized in gasoline (light the match)
Tongue of brimstone, lungs of steam
You want a martyr or a king?
Say the word, I’ll grow these wings (yeah)
[Chorus]
This is a holy war
Angels screaming on the killing floor
Every scar on me a sacred score
You want heaven? Kick down the door
This is a holy war
Hands up high, hearts on the floor
If I burn, I’m burning for more
More, more
This is a holy war
[Verse 2]
Eyes like sirens
Red in the whites, blue in the bruise
Saint on a sweatshirt
Pinned by your blame like a cheap tattoo
You sell your mercy
Two for one with a side of shame
I wear my damage
Like armor made from every name you gave
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been fasting on my rage (starved for peace)
Chained my shadow in a cage
You want a prophet or a plague?
Say the word, I’ll split this frame (hey)
[Chorus]
This is a holy war
Angels screaming on the killing floor
Every scar on me a sacred score
You want heaven? Kick down the door
This is a holy war
Hands up high, hearts on the floor
If I burn, I’m burning for more
More, more
This is a holy war
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to half-time, low growl over sparse guitars]
I hear the choir in the chaos (woah)
Seraphim in static, singing “stay lost”
But I’m carved from both blade and light
Devil in the daytime, saint at night
So choose your curse, I’ll wear it proud
Crown of thorns or crooked crown
If grace is just a loaded word
Then load it up and say it loud
[Chorus]
This is a holy war
Angels screaming on the killing floor
Every scar on me a sacred score
You want heaven? Kick down the door
This is a holy war
Hands up high, hearts on the floor
If I fall, I’m coming back for more
More, more
This is a holy war (holy war)
