Heaven's Open Door's
by Darth Nihlus
Lyrics
[Intro – deep cinematic strings swell in darkness, distant thunder, triple-processed low vocals drenched in reverb and pitch-shift]
[Verse 1 – half-spoken, rain-soaked nu-hip-hop cadence, sparse 808 pulses, vinyl crackle, eerie violin harmonics]
Heaven’s gate is rusted, hinges scream in minor keys,
I drag my shadow through the threshold on fractured knees.
Angels turned to vultures, halos cracked like broken screens,
I trade my prayers for nightmares, swallow silence in between.
The choir sings in static, every note a funeral bell,
I walk the velvet carpet straight into the mouth of hell.
[Pre-Chorus – strings rise like smoke, layered triple vocals echo from left to right, heartbeat kick enters]
I hear the doors unlocking, feel the pressure in my chest,
A thousand eyes are watching, but none of them are blessed.
The light is cold and violent, it cuts me into thirds,
I’m standing at the entrance where the living kiss the cursed.
[Chorus – massive cinematic drop, distorted triple vocals stacked three octaves, sidechained strings pulse, sub-bass growls]
Heaven’s open door is swallowing the sky,
I step inside the fracture where the holy come to die.
No wings, just wires humming, no mercy in the glow,
I sold my soul for silence and watched the whole thing blow.
Heaven’s open door, it never lets you leave,
I’m drowning in the static of the light I can’t believe.
[Verse 2 – trippy half-time drums, reversed violin loops, vocal chops stutter and glitch, darker tone]
I taste the iron sermons dripping from the ceiling vents,
My name is carved in candle wax across the testament.
The saints are wearing gas masks, counting bodies on the floor,
They told me “keep your eyes closed” but I needed something more.
Time drips like molasses through the cracks inside my mind,
I’m chasing constellations that were never meant to shine.
[Pre-Chorus 2 – tension builds with swelling low strings, triple vocal layers split left-center-right]
I feel the floor collapsing, gravity begins to bend,
The door is getting closer but it never seems to end.
I’m splitting into echoes, every version wearing chains,
Still walking toward the exit that was never meant for saints.
[Chorus – second drop, even heavier, strings detuned, 808s hit harder, vocal harmonies scream and melt]
Heaven’s open door is swallowing the sky,
I step inside the fracture where the holy come to die.
No wings, just wires humming, no mercy in the glow,
I sold my soul for silence and watched the whole thing blow.
Heaven’s open door, it never lets you leave,
I’m drowning in the static of the light I can’t believe.
[Bridge – stripped to pulsing sub and distant choir, single processed vocal almost whispered, long cinematic pause]
If heaven has an exit, it’s painted in my veins,
I carved it with a razor just to see if I could change.
The door is always open, but the lock is in my head,
I keep on walking forward till the darkness eats the thread.
[Final Chorus / Outro – full ensemble returns, strings swirl in reverse, triple vocals fade into infinite reverb, long decaying tail]
Heaven’s open door is swallowing the sky…
I step inside the fracture where the holy come to die…
No wings, just wires humming… no mercy in the glow…
I sold my soul for silence… and watched the whole thing blow…
Heaven’s open door… it never lets you leave…
I’m drowning in the static… of the light I can’t believe… (Heaven's Open Door's)(Heaven's Open Door's)
