Sweet Heresy

No more words

Rise

And take your place beside me in all that I've built in disgrace

Grace the halls with curdling calls and watch the sky

The kingdom falls

Blight

Make haste your retreat

Make it with tact, make it discreet

Flood the world, drown the strife, and wash away this tainted life

Taunt the sane

Pinch the vein

Strike the night and scream at the rain

The more I know, the more I hate

Thus begins the Inside

Brick by brick

I begin to rebuild my temple of mourning instilled

Sing us a song for those who have passed

Those who have learned, those who were last

I will ride the changing tide

Start at the end and walk to the sun

Know that you've passed

Know that you've won

Taunt the sane

Pinch the vein

Strike the night and scream at the rain

The more I know, the more I hate

Thus begins the Inside

Sacrifice my right to rot

My chance to heal

My one escape

It's crashing down

I know the sound of pestilence

Of children screaming out

I know you and have seen what you do

I alone

I will not compromise how much pain I inflict

Sovereignty

My paradise burnt down

Effigy, I ask of thee,

"O Heresy, sweet Heresy, you've seen the gates. Now lead me through them"

One more day left to play

Where's the love?

Where's the blood?

I refuse to believe that this is all there is

I feel no shame

I place no blame

Although you've changed, I feel the same

I don't belong

I don't exist

I'll try my best to forget this
