For eons, she held the scales so true In a realm of light and endless blue High Seraph, with a crown of gold The weight of worlds in her steady hold "To protect the light," she’d softly say As she watched the shadows kept at bay But the secret she kept, like a festering wound Was a rhythm to which her heart was tuned The scream of the fallen, the ash of the dark To save a flame, she extinguished the spark "A necessary end," she told the sky As she whispered a prayer and lived a lie Then the light fractured, the silence broke In a flash of redemption, a truth awoke A sinner ascended, a snake with a smile And the lie she had lived for such a long while Tumbled like glass on the heavenly floor A truth she could hide from the stars no more How many millions? The math is a blade The price of the safety she thought she had made She stares at her hands, once so pure and so white Now stained by the ghosts of the long, ****** night The certainty shatters; the High Seraph falls Within the cold echo of Heaven’s high walls She is no longer the judge, no longer the guide With nowhere left for a monster to hide In the wreckage of order, in the shadow of grace She finally looks at her own broken face The halo is heavy, the truth is a fire Consuming the pride of the High Seraph's spire

Broken Halo
For eons, she held the scales so true In a realm of light and endless blue High Seraph, with a crown of gold The weight of worlds in her steady hold "To protect the light," she’d softly say As she watched the shadows kept at bay But the secret she kept, like a festering wound Was a rhythm to which her heart was tuned The scream of the fallen, the ash of the dark To save a flame, she extinguished the spark "A necessary end," she told the sky As she whispered a prayer and lived a lie Then the light fractured, the silence broke In a flash of redemption, a truth awoke A sinner ascended, a snake with a smile And the lie she had lived for such a long while Tumbled like glass on the heavenly floor A truth she could hide from the stars no more How many millions?
