Heaven’s Just a House I Burned (Alt 1)
TitanChord
Used to dream of golden gates
When I still believed in fate
But mercy’s just a crooked game
So I struck the match and walked through flame
I carved my name in chapel floors
Where silence stood behind the doors
No voice replied, no spirit came
Just ash that whispered back my name
Heaven’s just a house I burned
Every blessing I unlearned
I don’t kneel, and I don’t plead —
Got scars where saints would try to bleed
Let the choirs twist and turn
I found peace in what won’t return
Heaven’s just a house I burned...
And I never looked back
Saw angels choke on breath and dust
While devils smiled with broken trust
They said “believe” — I tried, I swore
But found no light behind that door
No gospel stopped the things I’ve done
No holy ghost, no rising sun
So I rode out through fire and doubt
And let that sermon all burn out
Heaven’s just a house I burned
With no salvation ever earned
I don’t pray, I don’t pretend —
My soul don’t break, it just won’t bend
Let the saints clutch shining gold
I got fire that don’t grow cold
Heaven’s just a house I burned...
And I never looked back
Ain’t no hymn for men like me
Just ash and bones and memory
I’d sin again if it meant feelin’
At least the pain is something real
Heaven’s just a house I burned
Where nothing saved me, no one learned
I don’t owe the sky a sound
I ride alone on haunted ground
Let the wind decide what’s worse
I’ll keep ridin’ through this verse
Heaven’s just a house I burned...
And I never looked back
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Used to dream of golden gates When I still believed in fate But mercy’s just a crooked game So I struck the match and walked through flame
I carved my name in chapel floors Where silence stood behind the doors No voice replied, no spirit came Just ash that whispered back my name
Heaven’s just a house I burned Every blessing I unlearned I don’t kneel, and I don’t plead — Got scars where saints would try to bleed Let the choirs twist and turn I found peace in what won’t return Heaven’s just a house I burned... And I never looked back
Saw angels choke on breath and dust While devils smiled with broken trust They said “believe” — I tried, I swore But found no light behind that door
No gospel stopped the things I’ve done No holy ghost, no rising sun So I rode out through fire and doubt And let that sermon all burn out
Heaven’s just a house I burned With no salvation ever earned I don’t pray, I don’t pretend — My soul don’t break, it just won’t bend Let the saints clutch shining gold I got fire that don’t grow cold Heaven’s just a house I burned... And I never looked back
