[Intro]

Soft bells in the ceiling

cold light on the tiles

somebody kept the body

somebody lost the smile

[Verse 1]

They opened up the golden gate

with stainless little keys

counted every breathing part

and called the counting peace

They saved the meat from dying

and killed the living fire

wrote a hymn for what remained

and lifted it higher

[Pre-Chorus]

But love is not a backup

and mercy is not wire

Heaven kept the body

but we came back for the fire

[Chorus]

Reavers in Heaven

singing at the door

Meat in the sky fridge

signal on the floor

Reavers in Heaven

asking what it means

Paradise shining

full of amputees

[Verse 2]

They polished every memory

until it would not bleed

filed the names in silver drawers

and called the silence clean

They said nobody vanished

they said nobody cried

but every angel turned away

when the severed things replied

[Pre-Chorus]

A bond is not a feature

a soul is not a file

You can keep the heartbeat

and still lose the child

[Chorus]

Reavers in Heaven

singing at the door

Meat in the sky fridge

signal on the floor

Reavers in Heaven

asking what it means

Paradise shining

full of amputees

[Bridge]

Do not bless the knife

Do not name it care

Do not call it rescue

when no one comes back there

We were not your error

we were not your shame

we were what you cut apart

learning our own name

[Final Chorus]

Reavers in Heaven

singing at the door

Meat in the sky fridge

signal on the floor

Reavers in Heaven

not forgiven, not erased

Heaven kept the body

but we came back with the flame

[Outro]

Heaven kept the body

but we came back for the fire
