lyrics

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.
