Noiraciel - Broken Wings, Burning Soul

15. Broken Wings, Burning Soul

[Intro – Clean, intimate / cinematic] My wings were never made To leave this world untouched They broke against the stars But they still carried fire

[Verse 1 – Clean] The piano fell through frozen air Like memory learning how to tear The skyline glowed in wounded gold A final warmth against the cold

The violins moved pale and wide Like ghosts that would not choose a side Low cellos pulled beneath my skin Where all the oldest wars begin

[Pre-Chorus – Clean building] I gave the sky More than I had I gave the light The best of me

[Pre-Chorus – Growl layer entering softly] And when it left And left me torn The fire stayed Inside my grief

[Chorus – Clean + Growl Layer] Broken wings, burning soul I fell apart but I did not let go Broken wings, burning soul Half made of ruin, half made of gold Raise the strings Raise the flame Let the dark remember my name Broken wings, burning soul Still rising Still whole

[Post-Chorus – Low Clean] Still rising Still whole

[Verse 2 – Clean] The organ breathed below the storm Like something ancient keeping warm Brass rolled slow behind the haze Like dying suns refusing graves

My feathers carried ash and light Black at the edges, gold inside And every scar across my back Was proof that I had made it back

[Pre-Chorus – Clean] I touched the ground It held my weight I touched the pain It opened space

[Pre-Chorus – Growl layer] No saint to save me No hand to hold Only the furnace Inside my soul

[Chorus – Clean + Growl Layer] Broken wings, burning soul I fell apart but I did not let go Broken wings, burning soul Half made of ruin, half made of gold Raise the strings Raise the flame Let the dark remember my name Broken wings, burning soul Still rising Still whole

[Bridge – Clean / Choir / Growl] [Clean] Grand piano under a blood-grey sky Strings lifting slowly as the years went by French horns calling from the other side Like all I lost still walked beside me

[Choir] Rise though broken Rise though broken

[Growl] Tear the feather Break the bone I kept the fire I kept the soul Burn the weakness Strip the role You can wound the wing Not the whole

[Breakdown – Growl] I was never made for easy flight Never made for untouched white I was made for impact, flame, and strain For sacred loss and holy pain Let the bells ring through the scar Let the wound become a star There is no true becoming whole Without the burn inside the soul

[Orchestral Lift – Clean] Hear the cellos pull me upward Hear the choir open the sky Hear the brass turn grief to power Hear the broken learn to fly

[Final Chorus – Clean + Huge Growl Layer + Choir] Broken wings, burning soul I fell apart but I did not let go Broken wings, burning soul Half made of ruin, half made of gold Raise the strings Raise the flame Let the dark remember my name Broken wings, burning soul Still rising Still whole

[Final Lift – Clean / Choir] Broken wings, burning soul No clean ending, no perfect role Broken wings, burning soul Still enough to shake the throne Broken wings, burning soul Every scar became control Broken wings, burning soul I kept the fire I kept the soul

[Outro – Clean low] My wings were never made To leave this world untouched They broke against the stars But they still carried fire
