LYRICS:
Darkness in me; contorts me to break
Beyond the veil past mirrors, unseen.
I think there’s something wrong with me;
Collapsing are my memories,
We can tangle with devils in the white moonlight
Until it all obliviates
“Oh, honey…”
(Heaven is a place where we go to die; I don’t want to die)
Dance with me.
Stay with me.
Fall with me,
And bury me.
(Die and reset; I die and reset)
My bleeding eyes
Count the times they’ve watched me die.
(How many times have I broken my mind?)
Kill me slowly endlessly.
The shadows dance; they’re goring me.
Dance with me.
Stay with me.
Fall with me.
Bury me.
How can I be so wrong
To want my love with me?
I won’t be chained to a realm that favours
Burying your pain.
I see my scarlet red streak
From the blood they’ve spilled.
If they won’t let me tend your wounds,
I’ll burn their kingdom down.
Won’t you dance with me?
Won’t you stay with me?
Won’t you fall with me?
I won’t let them bury me.
(Heaven is a place where we go to die,
I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of losing you or losing my…)
Dance with me.
Stay with me.
Fall with me.
And bury…
I have died a thousand deaths and I will die a thousand more to come back home to you.”
So you can watch me fall
From your forgiving arms.
Limb and soul I tore.
Watch your Heaven collapse;
I am your Daughter no more.
Initiate the Protocol
Heaven is a place where we go to die;
I don’t want to die, I can’t stand the thought of losing you or losing my mind.
“The last thing I see is your face;
As my mind falters and begins to break–”

LORE SYNOPSIS:
Serving as a prelude to the album ‘Trinity’, Rachel is sent to Heaven’s blacksite, The Garden Hotel, to undergo their barbaric ‘reclamation process’. All goes haywire when she starts experiencing visions of a demonic version of herself, that leads to her breaking free of the blacksite and the evidential destruction of the Heaven Realm. This clip serves as ‘footage’ of some of the cycles she had to face during her stay at the Garden Hotel.
