Lyrics
Heretic
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As they search for blood
All eyes descend on one
Honest man in chains
But that don’t matter anyway
My judgement day
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I’ve been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses, marching to find heretic blood
Impose your will on me
'Till fire sets me free
The flames of hell burn bright
My fate decided by their lies
Final demise
My flesh will feed the demon
No trial, no case for reason
I’ve been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses, marching to find heretic heretic blood
Please don’t leave me
Please don’t leave me like this
I’ve walked a fragile line
And I’ve fallen down.
Please don’t leave me
My flesh will feed the demon now
No trial, no case for reason
I’ve been chosen to pay with my life
Mad men define what mad is
Turning witches and saints to ashes
Rising masses, marching to find heretic heretic blood
