Let the Angels Cry

Prompt

[Intro — distant choir, soft and reverberant] Amen. Amen. Amen. Ah—mhmm. Ah—mhmm. [Verse 1 — low, intimate vocals] Even the angels cry When religion demands hate. How many hearts must break In the name of being saved? Amen. Amen. Amen. Religion and God Were never the same. Different hands write the rules, Then call the damage faith. [Pre-Chorus — layered whispers] Ah—mhmm. Who gave you the right? Ah—mhmm. To judge another life? [Chorus — solemn, powerful choir] Amen. Amen. Amen. The angels cry in heaven When you condemn another life. God shakes His head As the holy turn to pride. Religion is not God. And hatred isn’t holy. Belief should never kill. Love was never meant to control me. [Glitch Interlude — chopped choir] A-a-amen. A-a-amen. Who are you saving When you teach them hate? A-a-amen. A-a-amen. How many prayers Can justify the pain? [Verse 2 — smoky, restrained vocals] The Bible passed through Old men’s hands, Written in a world I may never understand. But a book is not a weapon. And a faith is not a chain. What is sacred in your heart Shouldn’t make another ashamed. [Pre-Chorus — voices slowly building] Ah—mhmm. Who gave you the right? Ah—mhmm. To decide whose soul is right? [Chorus — fuller choir, dark electronic pulse] Amen. Amen. Amen. The angels cry in heaven When you condemn another life. God shakes His head As the holy turn to pride. Religion is not God. And hatred isn’t holy. Belief should never kill. Love was never meant to control me. [Bridge — beat drops, one voice close and clear] I smile at humans Because I want to. I’m not here to convince you. I have nothing to prove. I don’t need your permission To be gentle. I don’t need your blessing To choose love. [Choir — soft, overlapping] Ah—mhmm. Ah—mhmm. [Final Chorus — massive sacred choir, distorted edges] AMEN. AMEN. AMEN. Let the angels cry. Let the heavens hear. No one should have to Live their life in fear. AMEN. AMEN. AMEN. God is not your hatred. Faith is not your chains. Belief should never kill. Love should never be a shame. [Outro — distant choir fading into silence] Amen. Amen. Amen. Ah—mhmm. [Verse] [Chorus]
