Lyrics

Verse 1
The fire’s out, but the smoke still stays,
A ghost in the room where we used to pray.
Whiskey burns like a sinner’s flame,
Every night I curse your name.

Verse 2
My hands still shake from the things I’ve seen,
Broken halos and shattered dreams.
You took the light, left me the rain,
Now heaven don’t call my name.

Pre-Chorus
The walls whisper things I can’t take back,
Every echo’s painted black.

Chorus
I can’t take no more,
My soul’s off track.
I’ve been crawling through the ashes,
While Heaven’s hung in black.
Oh Lord, don’t turn your eyes,
Don’t leave me in this land of cracks.
When angels fall and silence screams,
Heaven’s hung in black.

Verse 3
There’s blood on the moon and dust on the cross,
A price I paid for what I lost.
Too many nights with a bottle in hand,
Tryin’ to talk to the promised land.

Bridge (slow & haunting)
See my angels… too insane.
See my angels… never came.
If redemption’s real, then I lost the track,
And Heaven…
Heaven’s hung in black.

Chorus (final – heavier)
I can’t take no more,
My heart won’t crack.
Been prayin’ through the thunder,
While Heaven’s hung in black.
Oh Lord, don’t let me die,
With my faith off the tracks.
Let the dawn break through the sorrow,
And paint Heaven back.

Outro (long & cinematic)
(Slide guitar and low vocal hums fade)
Heaven’s hung in black…
But I’m still here…
Still here…
