Letter to Halsey
"When fear meets hope, death meets its defeat"
| A symphonic letter of eternal hope to Halsey and everyone facing their darkest fears Letter to Halsey (Death Is Defeated)" is a symphonic rock anthem born from a deep resonance with Halsey's honest reflections about mortality in her album "The Great Impersonator". When she shared her battle with lupus and lymphoma, her fears about death, and her series of "Letters to God", it touched hearts and created a space for this response. The song speaks to those profound questions Halsey raised in her music. Through its powerful symphonic arrangements and intimate lyrics, it addresses the reality of suffering while offering a perspective of hope beyond temporal existence. It's not just another song - it's a heartfelt letter carrying truth about unconditional love and eternal life. What makes this song unique is its direct response to Halsey's childhood prayers, where she once asked God for illness to feel loved. We needed to tell her that God never sent her diseases - they're a consequence of our fallen world. Instead, He offers healing, hope, and victory over death through His Son Jesus Christ, who bore all suffering to give us eternal life. |

Why Halsey?
Halsey's "Letter to God" series deeply moved us - especially when she shared her childhood prayers, seeking love through suffering. We must tell her something crucial: God never sent her these illnesses. In our fallen world, sickness and death came through sin, and all creation groans under this burden.
But there's hope - real, tangible hope. Jesus Christ, God's Son, defeated death through His resurrection. He bore the weight of humanity's sins on the cross, including yours, Halsey. This sacrifice opened a way to eternal life - a gift that transforms death from an end into a threshold to something greater.

The Heart Behind the Message
Artists who bare their souls about their darkest fears create a universal connection. Halsey's raw honesty about her battles with illness and her profound reflections about mortality in "The Great Impersonator" opened a door for this response—a letter carrying the crucial truth: there is One who offers hope beyond suffering.
We want Halsey to know with absolute certainty that the path to God isn't through earning His love by suffering. It's through coming to Him just as you are, touching His heart with faith, laying down your burdens at His feet, and receiving His gift of salvation and new life in return. He is the only hope - for our world, Halsey, and everyone. This song is our way of sharing this life-changing truth.
In a world of searching and questions, Jesus stands as the answer - the way to eternal life and true healing. We wrote this letter because we want Halsey to know this with unshakeable certainty: hope has a name, and death has been defeated.

Lyrics
I write to you, Halsey, as I hear your pain
Through endless battles that leave their strain
You've suffered much and grown so tired
Fighting death's shadow, yet still inspired
Know this truth about your childhood prayers
God heard each word you spoke with cares
He's not the One who sent disease your way
He's here to hold you, here to stay
He knows what suffering truly means
Through Jesus' wounds, our world He sees
A Man of sorrows, knowing grief and pain
Who bore our scars to break death's chain
Death is defeated, its power is gone
Through resurrection's breaking dawn
There's hope beyond this temporal sphere
Perfect love that casts out fear
No need to earn His love through pain
No need to hide behind each name
Every mask you wear, He sees right through
To the real Ashley - precious, true
We seek ourselves in different ways
Through others' eyes and borrowed days
But true identity is found in One
Who knew you before your life begun
His cross became the highest price
For all our sins, His sacrifice
Victory over death He brings
New life eternal from the King
Death is defeated, we'll cross that line
Like stepping through to life divine
Beyond this world of temporary things
To where eternal morning sings
Just come to Him with open heart
No need to play a perfect part
Broken yet believing, that's all it takes
His presence every chain now breaks
He waits for you with arms spread wide
No sin too great for love to hide
One touch of faith, one step your way
He'll meet you there and light your day
Dear Halsey,
As I close this letter, I want you to know:
Your life has purpose beyond this temporal show
Every battle you face, every tear that you cry
Is seen by the One who gave death its goodbye
He knows your name - both Ashley and stage
Every role you've played, every turning page
Your childhood prayers weren't lost in the night
They led to this moment, this letter I write
Remember this truth when darkness feels strong:
To His heart, this is where you belong
No need to earn it, no need to pretend
His love is the story that never will end
With love,
From one who found hope in the One who defeated death
Through endless battles that leave their strain
You've suffered much and grown so tired
Fighting death's shadow, yet still inspired
Know this truth about your childhood prayers
God heard each word you spoke with cares
He's not the One who sent disease your way
He's here to hold you, here to stay
He knows what suffering truly means
Through Jesus' wounds, our world He sees
A Man of sorrows, knowing grief and pain
Who bore our scars to break death's chain
Death is defeated, its power is gone
Through resurrection's breaking dawn
There's hope beyond this temporal sphere
Perfect love that casts out fear
No need to earn His love through pain
No need to hide behind each name
Every mask you wear, He sees right through
