Hate Wears a Halo by Obituary Pending
Hate Wears a Halo
Intro
A crown of fire upon your brow,
Smiles that lie, I wonder how.
Angels fall and demons wait,
Hate wears a halo, sealing fate.
Verse 1
You preach of love but kill with words,
Silence screams, and truth is blurred.
Your golden eyes hide the knife,
A saint of pain, a god of strife.
I followed you through burning skies,
Believing lies behind your eyes.
But the light you wear is black as coal,
Hate wears a halo, it devours the soul.
Pre-Chorus
Every prayer is a poisoned thorn,
Every blessing hides the scorn.
The altar shakes beneath your hands,
The world obeys your dark commands.
Chorus
Hate wears a halo, shining bright,
Masked in virtue, cloaked in light.
Every whisper, every vow,
Lies concealed upon the brow.
We bleed for your sacred lies,
Your golden wings, your hollow eyes.
Hate wears a halo, crown of pain,
All that you touch turns to flame.
Verse 2
Silver tongues drip venom sweet,
Promises fall beneath our feet.
The choir sings, but hearts decay,
Virtue’s veil is torn away.
Your shadow spreads where angels weep,
Secrets buried dark and deep.
Every soul you claim as pure,
Becomes a scar that won’t endure.
Pre-Chorus 2
Every prayer is a poisoned thorn,
Every blessing hides the scorn.
The altar shakes beneath your hands,
The world obeys your dark commands.
Chorus
Hate wears a halo, shining bright,
Masked in virtue, cloaked in light.
Every whisper, every vow,
Lies concealed upon the brow.
We bleed for your sacred lies,
Your golden wings, your hollow eyes.
Hate wears a halo, crown of pain,
All that you touch turns to flame.
Bridge
We bowed to kings of silver flame,
We carved our names inside the shame.
Every prayer, a dagger thrown,
Every mercy you disown.
Crumble thrones and break your chains,
The halo melts in acid rains.
Your hate revealed, your lies undone,
The saints of fire have just begun.
Breakdown
Claw the truth, tear the veil,
Expose the fraud behind the grail.
Golden masks will shatter fast,
Your reign of hate will never last.
We rise, we scream, we burn, we fight,
Hate wears a halo, but we bring the night.
Verse 3
Ashes fall where angels stood,
Every vow soaked in blood.
The guilty smile, the wicked pray,
Yet the dark will claim its prey.
No crown can save, no robe can hide,
The venom poured from the inside.
The world will see, the truth will grow,
Hate wears a halo—but now we know.
Pre-Chorus 3
Every prayer is a poisoned thorn,
Every blessing hides the scorn.
The altar shakes beneath your hands,
The world obeys your dark commands.
Chorus (Final)
Hate wears a halo, shining bright,
Masked in virtue, cloaked in light.
Every whisper, every vow,
Lies concealed upon the brow.
We bleed for your sacred lies,
Your golden wings, your hollow eyes.
Hate wears a halo, crown of pain,
All that you touch turns to flame.
Outro (slow, fading with echoing guitars and wind)
The halo cracks, the mask decays,
The dark reveals its hidden ways.
Hate wears a halo, but we ignite,
The world reborn in eternal night.
