The Shining Path
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.
(Don't care if I choke
Don't care if I choke)
Sacrifice me for my sins
For my beliefs, spit at me, die with me
When I'm gone, death will come to you
Death will come
Sacrifice me for my sins
Sacrifice me for my sins
(Sacrifice her life to fire
Sacrifice her life to fire
Sacrifice her life to fire
Sacrifice her life to fire
Sacrifice her life to fire)
The flames went high to lick the skin on her chin
The words she said for those words she would die
The crowd circles around her, praising their merciful god
Her screams got weaker "heathen, heathen", the mass was shouting
The children that once were loving, now their small hands were full of rocks
They found her bleeding
The dark night came creeping
Was she one of the devil's own kind?
Beyond belief, beyond the pain
And grief, I lay low
And crawl deep, choosing the narrow path
Fear your thoughts and let the father judge them
Walk the shining path and guide the weakling along
The crowd circles around her, praising their merciful god
Their screams grew higher: heathen, heathen! the mass was shouting
Hunt down the profane and put them to the torch
Burn me on the fire
Call me liar, shout at me, cry for me
When I'm gone, death will come to me
Death will come
Burn me on the fire
Burn me on the fire
