About this song
Created by a vampire to guard a world of monsters. Sealed in silver. Freed by faith. Corrupted by something older than gods. And in the end, the one who made her had to unmake her. This is Avacyn's hymn -- from hope to horror.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] He made me from the silence and the stars A prayer given wings above the dark He said the world was fragile, full of teeth And I would be the shield it couldn't make I never questioned what I was or why I only knew the fall of every blade And when the shadows reached for what was his I stood between the horror and the saved [Chorus] While I remain nothing breaks While I stand nothing falls Every field, every wall, every door Holds the weight of heaven in its bones I was made to never look away I was made to never close my eyes While I remain nothing dies [Verse 2] They sealed me in the silver and the stone A prison made of silence and regret The world outside grew wild without my light And every prayer I heard I couldn't answer yet Then the vault cracked open and I flew A golden spiral burning through the grey But something followed me out of the dark A whisper I could feel but couldn't name [Bridge] He watched me turn against the ones I loved He watched the light go red behind my eyes The angel and the monster wore one face And he unmade the thing he made to fly [Final Chorus] While I remained nothing broke While I stood nothing fell But the shield that held the world together Couldn't save itself from hell I was made to never look away I was made to never close my eyes And even angels made of hope Eventually run out of sky [Outro]
