Holy Heretic 03:42
Just the other day an angel stopped me for a speculation 100 years have come and gone, without an ounce of levity. 10 score and 9 within these bones, but with a heart of a lion She once did this, so can you, so there’s no mistaking You might just have to hold death by it’s hand, just to get the picture Hey Archangel Michael, I notice you’ve got nothing to say Gotta an arrow in my chest, but I guess, you thought I was just dressin fancy Tearin through the gates of fear whoa oh oh, gotta get another overthrow These chains are breakin, over and over and over, I’m your Holy Heretic. Watch as I sing the doctrine of death, with this metal in my hand Mistaken youth call forth my rage, as I lead the fray of man who’s shiny armor shakes around him, (but you wanted that crown.) Sometimes you gotta hold death by it’s hand, just to see the picture Hey Archangel Michael, I notice you’ve got nothing to say Gotta an arrow in my chest, but I guess, you thought I was just dressin fancy Tearin through the gates of fear whoa oh oh, gotta get another overthrow These chains are breakin, over and over and over, I’m your Holy Heretic.

I see you look at me, in your shadow’s wake of night Now it’s haunting me, when infernal truth escapes your laughter How exactly, is the dead supposed to sleep around you When the light within, is a different shade a different shade Your tears they burn like holy water, it tears this dark heart right in two You know I’d walk in the lake of fire, if it meant you don’t turn away Your eyes they cut me like the rising sun, I can’t escape it’s memory I hear you cry through your mask of sorrows, your soul is haunting me. I feel your presence here, though the distance weighs on me Now I drown in fear, as the sands of time keep falling faster How exactly, is this crow supposed to sing without you Shine your light again, oh a different shade, it’s a different shade. Your tears they burn like holy water, it tears this dark heart right in two You know I’d walk in the lake of fire, if it meant you don’t turn away Your eyes they cut me like the rising sun, I can’t escape it’s memory I hear your cry through your mask of sorrows, your soul is haunting me.

Treading miles in noontide, horizon drawing near Chains of youth have left me, now footsteps lay in tears Seen the Sun a thousand times, watch the moon cross through the night Weight of souls on my shoulder, I must reach within me. Hold me close for the last time, the light is nearly here, Feel this heartbeat, my love, it beats for you without fear. When you close your eyes, you will find me in your dreams, baby. Our love has no goodbyes, touch my face and remember me. Ask me for my honor, I give without a doubt Understanding my love, to precious lives devout Watch the disappearing Sun, hear the fright of those who run Weight of souls on my shoulder, I must take death within me. Have you seen the chaos, have you seen the tearing pool Is your blood like the desert sand, cold and heartless, mindless monstrous Must you really cross the line, to see the beast before you.
