Lyrics
Of all the times on bended knee
Upon a shelf, they lie in history
But the only way I'd say your name would be in vain
And I've tried a million times just to see the same old smoke and mirrors
Of all the times I've tried to see
But there's no evidence, evidently
The man in the sky
Thou shalt not deny
Save their souls, ignoring the bloodshed that paints the foundation
The roots will hold the secrets and regrets of a generation
I thought my family would survive an innocent twist of faith
But now they're running for their lives
Avenge my life
Revenge is blind
Shatter the chains
That bind fiction to morality
My god became a fallacy
To question the written is to forsake prophecy
I thought my family would survive
Strung up and killed before my eyes
This is it—the time to claim your vengeance
Stop and think, would you be any better if...
You know you want it, their life is for the taking
If you do this you know... you'll feel so much BETTER
I know what I must do; defend the people that meant so much to me
Stand in my way; you're fucked
"Skull-fuck the priest and his flock"
As the memories are flooding in
My mind awake to past mistakes
Fabricated possibilities
The line's opaque 'til the escape
I'll have to save myself
Save myself
Don't fight the powers of the righteous
Don't bow before powers of the righteous
I will obliterate powers of the righteous
Am I even me?
Of all the times on bended knee
And all the cries you never answered me
I've lost it all
I've lost it all
Avenge my life
Revenge is blind
(Your god abandoned me! Your god abandoned me!)
(In my greatest time of need, your god abandoned me!)
