Lyrics
The Hunted Heretic (When I Was Young)
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.
When I was young I was a heretic
The ripe goat to kick took-on their power trip
I was infection to them an outcast dog
The hunted martyr I destroyed their God
Take in the air while you can breathe
as I am now soon you will be Hunted
But now that I'm dead I can speak my mind
The blind see the dead but they don't know our kind
See... Take-in the sights while you can see
All that you are will cease to be
Everyone is dead
Everyone she was is gone to the stake
All her glory an empty fake
Drunk with blood she went Heaven sent
All the children starve just to pay her rent
Babylon is fallen she has crushed them all
All... A counterfeit to dread all her love is dead
Kneel... Down to your knees to those who kneel;
Now... You�re wiser than me you make me feel Hunted
