Hell Kept Our Secrets Safe (*)

We met where mercy never came, In the backroom glow of a one-wick flame. She said, “You don’t pray, you just survive.” I said, “That’s enough to feel alive.”

You wore your sins like second skin, And I wore mine just to fit in. We weren’t born to be redeemed — Just two ghosts that never dreamed.

Hell kept our secrets safe, Buried deep where angels break. Love ain’t pure, but it’s ours to take — Hell kept our secrets safe.

We lit a fire we couldn’t hide, Watched the saints turn their eyes aside. The preacher cursed, the sky turned gray — But she smiled and said, “Let ’em pray.”

No heaven’s gate, no holy name, Could hold a love this wild, this flame. So let the ashes mark our place — We burned the world for one embrace.

Hell kept our secrets safe, Where the stars forget to fade. No guilt, no light, no grave — Just hell keepin’ our secrets safe.
