Corteliax - Heaven's Wasteland Lyrics

They promised skies so bright, where angels sing
A land of endless calm, where no storms sting
But here the air is still, the stars don't burn
No heat, no pulse, just peace I didn't earn
No thrill of danger, no fire in the veins
A hollow paradise where nothing remains
Once craved the gates, now I claw for the fall
Is this heaven, or the worst fate of all?
In Heaven's wasteland, the fire is gone
No passion, no lust, just an empty dawn
Saints in silence, a ghost of grace
A punishment wrapped in a holy embrace
Seraphs dance in a golden haze
Their hollow eyes caught in eternal praise
No sin, no taste, no flesh, no fight
No shadow to contrast the blinding light
The hymns grow tired, the echoes fade
A sterile peace for the risks I didn't take
Where's the beauty of falling and rising again?
Heaven feels like a gilded cage of men
In Heaven's wasteland, the fire is gone
No passion, no lust, just an empty dawn
Saints in silence, a ghost of grace
A punishment wrapped in a holy embrace
Did you see the fire of Eden's spark
Before we traded it for this endless dark?
No kisses stolen, no hearts to break
No sins to bind, no hearts to quake
They called it heaven, a place to ascend
But without risk or passion, what's there to defend?
Give me the hunger, the wrath, the flame
A spark to ignite this holy domain
I'd trade the wings for the weight of sin
To feel the fire rage within
In Heaven's wasteland, the fire is gone
No passion, no lust, just an empty dawn
I'll fall for the thrill, I'll break for the pain
To live is to risk, I'd burn again
