Lyrics

Heresy

[Verse 1]

Here we are

In a world of corruption

Human nature is

Of violent breed

Who cares if there's no tomorrow?

When I die for, my future's

Laid out for me

Can't you see?

[Refrain]

Rise

Above the lies

[Verse 2]

Morals on a backwards globe

A sin to you

For me, it's hope

It's my life and provision

Black or white

Some pay to pray

You question why they

Act this way

It's their fucking decision

[Pre-Chorus]

No more judgment day

Only tranquility

Peace signs, protest lines

Mean nothing to me

[Chorus]

Honesty born in me

Heresy

[Verse 3]

I know what's right or wrong

And my belief is stronger

Than your advice

People, they go to war

Because religion gives them

Reason to fight

Sacrifice

[Refrain]

Die for pride

[Verse 4]

A group that caters

No one's fees

Or synthetic deities

Is where I belong

My stand is the human race

Without a label or a face

So they can lick my sack

[Pre-Chorus]

No more judgment day

Only tranquility

Peace signs, protest lines

Mean nothing to me

[Chorus]

Honesty born in me

Heresy

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Honesty born in me

Heresy
