At War With Angels by Obituary Pending
At War With Angels
Intro
Steel clashes in the heavens…
Wings aflame, halos shattered…
Verse 1
I walked the path of fire and sin
The sky above, a battlefield within
Seraphim descend with eyes of flame
But I stand defiant, unbound by shame
Sword in hand, blood on my skin
I hear their whispers, I let them in
Promises of light, chains of the sky
I spit on their mercy, refuse to die
Pre-Chorus
Fallen or righteous, it’s all the same
I’ve stoked the fury, I’ve fueled the flame
Heaven trembles at the sound of my call
No angel survives my wrath at all
Chorus
I am at war with angels, claws and steel
I break their wings, I refuse to kneel
Through fire and fury, through heaven’s fall
I stand unbroken, I conquer all
I am the shadow, the thorn, the spite
The eternal rebel in celestial night
At war with angels, no divine reprieve
I take what they promised, I refuse to believe
Verse 2
Choirs of lies echo in my ears
Tales of salvation drowned in fears
But I have walked the edge of grace
And spat on the light they try to place
Thunder cracks and the heavens bleed
Every angel I strike fuels my creed
I’ve learned their weakness, I’ve known their pain
I am the storm they cannot contain
Pre-Chorus
Fallen or righteous, it’s all the same
I’ve stoked the fury, I’ve fueled the flame
Heaven trembles at the sound of my call
No angel survives my wrath at all
Chorus
I am at war with angels, claws and steel
I break their wings, I refuse to kneel
Through fire and fury, through heaven’s fall
I stand unbroken, I conquer all
I am the shadow, the thorn, the spite
The eternal rebel in celestial night
At war with angels, no divine reprieve
I take what they promised, I refuse to believe
Bridge
Pierce the sky, tear it apart
Rage of the damned, the end of art
Their halos shatter, their screams ignite
I am the darkness that owns the night
[Breakdown]
War!
Rage!
Strike the angels from their cage!
War!
Fury!
I will burn their gilded purity!
Final Chorus
I am at war with angels, claws and steel
I break their wings, I refuse to kneel
Through fire and fury, through heaven’s fall
I stand unbroken, I conquer all
I am the shadow, the thorn, the spite
The eternal rebel in celestial night
At war with angels, no divine reprieve
I take what they promised, I refuse to believe
Outro
Heaven weeps as I ascend
No salvation, only the end
The angelic host cannot withstand
The wrath of a mortal with fire in hand.
