[Intro] Ooh Ooh Ooh
[Verse 1] Beneath a black and silver sky I watched the broken satellites Fall like prayers that lost their way Burning holes in heaven’s face
A crimson cloth across my eyes But I could feel the world ignite Steel and embers in the air God was gone, but I was there
[Pre-Chorus] Deep in the silence, I heard my name Inside the ruin, inside the flame No hand to save me, no light to trust So I made a crown from the ash and dust
[Chorus] I am the angel of darkness Rising through fire, untouched by fear I am the last sacred warning The end of mercy is finally here Out of the wreckage, I’m shining Black-winged and burning, divine and heartless Call me the fall of heaven Call me the angel of darkness
[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh Angel of darkness Oh-oh I rise Oh-oh Angel of darkness Out of the fire tonight
[Verse 2] The city trembled red and gold A dying empire turning cold Sirens crying through the glass Like ghosts afraid to make it last
My wings were scarred, but standing wide A storm of metal, flame and light Every wound became a star Every scar revealed what we are
[Pre-Chorus] Deep in the silence, I heard my name Inside the ruin, inside the flame No hand to save me, no light to trust So I made a throne from the ash and dust
[Chorus] I am the angel of darkness Rising through fire, untouched by fear I am the last sacred warning The end of mercy is finally here Out of the wreckage, I’m shining Black-winged and burning, divine and heartless Call me the fall of heaven Call me the angel of darkness
[Bridge] Piano like thunder Strings like a tide Brass in my bloodstream Night on my side
I don’t need halos I don’t need grace I looked into chaos And gave it a face
I turned the silence Into command I pulled the future Out of my hands
[Build] Higher Higher through the flame Higher Nothing stays the same Higher Let the whole world watch me rise With heaven burning in my eyes
[Final Chorus] I am the angel of darkness Born from the wound where the lost ones start I am the voice in the skyline The final beat of a dying heart Out of the wreckage, I’m shining No longer holy, but more than flawless Call me the end of the old world Call me the angel of darkness
[Outro] Oh-oh Angel of darkness Oh-oh I rise Oh-oh Angel of darkness I am the fire in the night
Short Story
*A story about the strength that rises from ruin*
After the storm took down the old oak and half the roof with it, everyone in the village said the same thing about the Pereira farm: it was finished. Too much damage, too little money, and old Senhora Pereira too proud to ask for help.
But every evening that whole terrible autumn, a light burned in her workshop until past midnight.
"What is she doing in there?" the neighbors whispered.
What she was doing was this: taking the fallen oak, plank by plank, and building something from it with her own hands — furniture at first, simple and sturdy, then later, as her skill returned to her like an old friend, things of real beauty. A cradle with carved leaves. A chair with a back like wings.
"Why didn't you ask anyone for help?" her granddaughter Inês finally asked, months later, standing in the transformed workshop.
"I did ask," her grandmother said. "I just didn't ask for charity. I asked the wood what it wanted to become." She ran a hand along the grain of the chair. "Everyone expected me to be finished because the storm took something from me. But the storm didn't take my hands. It just gave them something difficult to do."
"It must have been so dark in here, working alone every night."
"It was," her grandmother agreed. "But I learned something in that dark — the kind of strength that only ever shows itself when there's no other light left to borrow. You don't find that strength on the easy days. You only meet it in the ruin, if you're willing to keep working inside it."
She sold every piece she made that winter, and used the money to fix the roof herself, in spring, without anyone's charity at all. The villagers stopped whispering that she was finished. They started asking her to teach their own children the craft — not just woodworking, but the harder lesson underneath it.
"What did the storm actually take from you?" Inês asked once more, near the end.
Her grandmother smiled, the particular smile of someone who has been somewhere others fear to go, and returned with something to show for it. "Only what I didn't need anymore."

*Some of our deepest strength is never discovered on the good days — only forged in the ruin, by hands that refuse to stop working in the dark.*
