Forbidden Love

Lyrics

[Intro - ominous choir swell, distant thunder, bowed guitars, whispered male/female vocals]
In the cradle of ash and holy flame,
Two cursed names were carved in the same breath.
Above, the stars looked away in shame,
Below, the earth held its pulse like death.

[Verse 1 - crushing palm-muted guitars, thunderous double-kick, snarled low vocals]
She wore dawn like a blade of light,
He wore midnight like a second skin,
They met where the broken heavens bled white,
Where the gates of mercy rusted thin.
One touch and the cathedral shook,
One kiss and the altar cracked in two,
The saints tore pages from the book,
And the devil learned to kneel to you.

[Pre-Chorus - rising drums, layered harmonies, tension building]
Oh, forbidden fire, oh, sacred sin,
We were never meant to let this begin,
But the stars collapsed when our blood ran near,
And love became a thing to fear.

[Chorus - explosive anthemic hook, full distorted guitars, soaring harsh-clean duet]
Burn the world for you, I’d burn it all,
Through the holy rain and the infernal fall,
Angel and demon, locked in the flame,
We praise each other in the end of days.
If heaven screams and the inferno sighs,
Let the blackened sun witness our lies,
Forbidden love, let the kingdoms drown,
We wear the ruins like a wedding crown.

[Verse 2 - darker groove, eerie lead guitar, sinister growls and ghostly female harmonies]
She kissed the wound beneath his wings,
He traced the halo’s shattered ring,
Every vow became a chain of thorns,
Every prayer was a world reborn.
The sky split open with a silver groan,
The seas turned black at the sound of her name,
And he laughed as the cities turned to stone,
While she wept fire that fed the flame.

[Pre-Chorus - tighter drums, choir accents, ascending guitars]
Oh, we are the plague of a dying night,
A blasphemy dressed in bridal light,
But if this sin is all we own,
Then let the heavens fall alone.

[Chorus - bigger, more melodic, gang vocals, blistering lead solo underneath]
Burn the world for you, I’d burn it all,
Through the holy rain and the infernal fall,
Angel and demon, locked in the flame,
We praise each other in the end of days.
If heaven screams and the inferno sighs,
Let the blackened sun witness our lies,
Forbidden love, let the kingdoms drown,
We wear the ruins like a wedding crown.

[Bridge - stripped-back bass rumble, clean vocal anguish, eerie choir behind]
If I must choose between throne and your hand,
I choose the ruin, I choose the damned,
For every paradise is built on bone,
And I would rather die in your arms than alone.

[Final Chorus - double-time drums, massive wall of guitars, soaring duet, triumphant despair]
Burn the world for you, I’d burn it all,
Through the holy rain and the infernal fall,
Angel and demon, locked in the flame,
We praise each other in the end of days.
If heaven screams and the inferno sighs,
Let the blackened sun witness our lies,
Forbidden love, let the kingdoms drown,
We wear the ruins like a wedding crown.

[Outro - fading feedback, cathedral choir, whispered duet, distant fire crackle]
Let the world turn to cinders and dust,
We were never made for mercy or trust,
Angel and demon, forever one,
Burning beneath a dead black sun.
