Descent

[Verse 1] The night crept in like a second skin You had wings but they wouldn't let you in They told me your heart was hollow, filled with flame You looked at mine and said, "Yours burns the same" I found you where the stars forget to shine Your hand found mine like it already knew the way I should've run when you said my name Heaven taught me everything but how to stay [Pre-Chorus] If loving you is a sin Then I was damned before we could begin [Chorus] So let me fall Please let me fall with you If the darkness scares you I'll be your light If I lose Heaven I'll lose it tonight They can tear us apart Hell never scared me like losing your heart Maybe we were never meant to be together Just two wrong souls who found each other in the dark [Falling with you] [Falling with you] [Verse 2] [Male] Your laugh sounds like a paradise I never thought I'd get to know I said, "Careful, angel You're standing way too close" My horns catch gold when morning comes Your halo shakes when you look at me Funny how the place they told you not to go Became the place you came to breathe [Female] You call yourself a monster Like I've never seen one before I've seen angels smile while shutting gates You held mine open at the door [Male] Don't make me something I am not [Female] Then stop believing what they called you [Pre-Chorus] [Male] If there's a door between our worlds [Female] I'll break the lock [Male] I'll burn the key [Both] And if they make us choose again Choose me [Chorus] So let me fall Please let me fall with you If the darkness scares you I'll be your light If I lose Heaven I'll lose it tonight They can tear us apart Hell never scared me like losing your heart Maybe we were never meant to be together Just two wrong souls who found each other in the dark [Falling with you] [Falling with you] [Bridge] [Female] Maybe these wings were never mine Maybe I only wore them well [Male] Maybe this fire isn't evil Maybe I just learned to call it Hell [Female] If they come for us tomorrow [Male] If Heaven shuts its gates [Female] Take my hand [Male] Don't close your eyes [Both] I want to see their faces [Female] When the halo hits the ground [Instrumental Drop] [Violin begins alone, playing the chorus melody] [Male low scream] LET IT FALL [Female high scream] LET IT FALL [Full band enters] [Breakdown] [Male scream] LET HEAVEN WATCH ME CHOOSE YOU [Female scream] LET HELL WATCH YOU CHOOSE ME [Both scream] IF THERE'S NO PLACE THAT WANTS US WE'LL MAKE ONE IN BETWEEN [Violin ascends over double kick and down-tuned guitars] [Final Chorus] [Female clean] So let me fall Please let me fall with you [Male clean] There's nothing left If I have everything but you [Both] Let Heaven and Hell collide tonight I'd find you in a thousand lives Erase our names from every star I'd know exactly where you are They can say we've gone too far They can curse what we became If loving you costs everything Then everything can take my name [Female soaring] I'd rather be cast out beside you [Male melodic scream] THAN LIVE FOREVER WITHOUT YOU [Both] So let me fall Let me fall with you [Falling with you] [Falling with you] [Outro] [Violin and distant piano] [Female] You were the demon they warned me about [Male] You were the angel I was taught to hate [Female] Do you regret it? [Male] Ask me when forever ends [Female] And if it doesn't? [Male] Then you have your answer
