Fallen Apex
The brightest angel, who chose to fall rather than kneel and now wants back what was taken from her. Part of me will always root for anyone who refuses to stay down.
(The grace is gone)
I was the brightest star in the heavenly crowd
Until I found a throne that was a little too proud
Now the wings are black and the fire is cold
Trading in the silver for the weight of the gold
You call it a sin, I call it a right
To be the absolute ruler of the dead of the night
Seven deep shadows and a crown of thorns
I’m the beauty in the middle of the battle-borns
Pride is a weapon and I’m swinging it wide
With the power of the abyss on the winning side
I didn't fall down, I just chose the floor
And I’m coming back to take a little bit more
Velvet and iron and a chalice of wine
I’m redrawing every single sacred line
You think that the light is the only way home
But I’m building a palace under the dome
A queen with a grudge and a world to reclaim
I’m the only one here who remembers my name
The higher you climb, the more that you lose
But I’m the only master that I’m gonna choose
The heavens are empty, the garden is dry
I’d rather be the lightning in a charcoal sky
Seven deep shadows and a crown of thorns
I’m the beauty in the middle of the battle-borns
Pride is a weapon and I’m swinging it wide
With the power of the abyss on the winning side
I didn't fall down, I just chose the floor
And I’m coming back to take a little bit more
So arrogant
So graceful
The bottom of the pit is a long way up
Watch me climb
Watch me climb
