Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Stone in my chest Ash on my tongue Kneeling in dust Where my cradle once hung Name on a gate Scratched out in rust Every prayer I ever whispered Crumbled into dust [Chorus] Father Why have you forsaken me Left me screaming at the sky I cannot see Tore the halo from my memory Burned your shadow out of every dream Father Why have you forsaken me I was your lamb Now I bare my teeth If you won’t answer when I bleed I’ll learn to rise on broken wings [Verse 2] Blood on the floor Same old war You taught me silence As a holy sword Now I hear echoes In the cracks of the wall Your empty chair staring back As the darkness crawls [Chorus] Father Why have you forsaken me Left me screaming at the sky I cannot see Tore the halo from my memory Burned your shadow out of every dream Father Why have you forsaken me I was your lamb Now I bare my teeth If you won’t answer when I bleed I’ll learn to rise on broken wings [Bridge] Did you ever say my name When the bottle hit your hand Did you ever feel the flame When I broke When I ran I was begging for a word You were buried in your sleep Now I carve my own commandments In the armor of my grief (hey!) [Chorus] Father Why have you forsaken me Left me screaming at the sky I cannot see Tore the halo from my memory Burned your shadow out of every dream Father Why have you forsaken me Hear me howl from the gallows beam If you won’t answer when I bleed Watch me ascend on broken wings

Verses stay tense and minor-key; chorus explodes with wide chords, stacked vocal harmonies, and halftime snare for maximum drama. Bridge brings a darker, choral feel with tom-heavy drums, then a shredding guitar solo launches into a final triumphant chorus., ballad, speed metal, power metal
