Lyrics

By Demons Be Driven

[Verse 1]

Serving the faith, abduction the oath

It lie in wait for the offering

Religion is old for drawing the young

Purity withers and dies

[Pre-Chorus]

Never return to the ones that provided

Children draining parents of will

I hold out my hand to bloodless child

I'm taken by the one I was saving

From death

[Chorus 1]

By demons

Be driven

By demons

Be driven

[Chorus 2]

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

[Verse 2]

With decline in mind, end not far

We are left hanging alone here

He pulls us from nails, shatters our bones

Leaving us crippled and strewn

[Pre-Chorus]

Boiling my corpse in the blood of his children

Praying for his god to prevail

Burying us with loved ones

To sleep with shelled children

Of the sixth dimension

[Chorus 1]

By demons

Be driven

By demons

Be driven

[Chorus 2]

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1]

By demons

Be driven

By demons

Be driven

[Chorus 2]

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

Beckon the call, beckon the call

[Outro]

(By) Beckon the call, beckon the call

(Demons) Beckon the call, beckon the call

(Be) Beckon the call, beckon the call

(Driven) Beckon the call, beckon the call
