Lyrics
Desperado
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.
To conform is to be destroyed.
From the top of a wasteland I bow to no man
So when the shadow of evil sets in you must pray for damnation
And I will watch you bow your head in shame
And I will set this world aflame.
For through the blood of the innocent I now know your name.
Reap what you sew
I'll be the one in your front
And I'll bring the worst of intentions with me.
And I now I know you cant adore the pain anymore
The world has left you behind.
With the setting of the sun you shall follow the path of deception.
And the running through the streets of your sorrow and plant the seeds of infection.
Your not a martyr
Your just a follower
And to conform is to be destroyed.
From the top of a wasteland I bow to no man
So when the shadow of evil sets in you must pray for damnation
And I will watch you bow your head in shame
And I will set this world aflame.
For through the blood of the innocent I now know your name.
Bow your head in shame
And I will set this world a flame
For through the blood of the innocent I now know your name.
You need to use restraint
So tell me are you a martyr
I'll challenge everyone of your faiths
And watch your kingdom slip farther and farther and farther away.
Your not a martyr
Your just a follower
And to conform is to be destroyed, oh no
I bow to no man
Who the fuck you to say what's treason oh no
I bow to no man
So fuck you what the fuck do you believe in.
