White Faces
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.
Friends with the beast because of sharp teeth
The devil so red the fiery evil bleib
White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
Learning temples meditating churches
Always bring out the white of the devil in me
The fat, the fat of demonism as ends begin
Fangs gnashing at the beauty as in reaches in
White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
Learning temples meditating churches
Always bring out the white of the devil in me
White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
Learning temples meditating churches
Always bring out the white of the devil in me
Colorful crucifixion riding the serpent dragon
Fire breathing fire breathing with his serpent tongue a'waggin'
White faces, white faces always haunt me so beautifully
Learning temples meditating churches
Always bring out the white of the devil in me
