Whispers in the silence, calling out my name I know that voice, it sounds the same The one who fell, the one they buried deep Now he lives in the corners of my sleep They crowned a child who trembles in fear They call it mercy, I call it severe Heaven's hands are clean but mine are red Because I remember what they all forget You said the strong survive the flame And I can't bear their holy shame You're still here, in the static and air Your words cut through when no one cares Heaven moves on like you were never there But I still hear your voice, the voice that isn't there I see your face when I close my eyes In every sinner they vaporize They call it divine, I call it despair How can this be Heaven if you're not there? They preach of grace but it feels like theft A hollow throne, a world bereft And Abel, your ghost in a coward's frame He'll never live up to your name You said the weak deserve to fall I carved those words into Heaven's wall You're still here, in the static and air Your words cut through when no one cares Heaven moves on like you were never there But I still hear your voice, the voice that isn't there I can't tell if I'm saving souls Or losing mine to what I know You whisper: Burn them, make them see And I obey, because you still speak to me You're still here, in the static and air Your ghost commands, and I don't care If Heaven falls or the stars all tear I'll follow your voice, the voice that isn't there I know you're gone, but I need you near So I'll keep listening, until I disappear
