Lyrics

CHVRCH BVRNER

[Verse 1]

A loving priest, a lonely town

Everybody wants a piece of it now

There's a static, it's alive in the battleground

Blow the horn and then we wait for the sound

Step back on the stair to black

They all need a piece of it

They all want something

[Chorus 1]

The filthy lies

Our people, they fantasize

Hold the light

Reach for life

No sacrifice

No offer in sacred rite

Bow for one or for none

[Chorus 2]

We'll burn them 'til the end

Cross on top of it

Men bow down and snap the neck for it

Hang 'em high

The population in a rack now

Looking to overcome it somehow

Flirting with the conversion

A dirge within the confines

A dirge within the confines

Relieve it somehow

[Refrain]

Soaked in red toe to head

Deathbed desire

Fire

Soaked in red toe to head

Deathbed desire

Fire

[Bridge]

One god

For the one god

Everywhere there's one god

For the one god

Everywhere the burning of our gods

One god

For the one god

Everywhere there's one god

For the one god

Everywhere the burning of our gods

Everywhere the burning of our gods

Open up the heart or die

[Chorus 2]

We'll burn them 'til the end

Cross on top of it

Men bow down and snap the neck for it

Hang 'em high

Hang 'em high

[Chorus 1]

The filthy lies

Our people, they fantasize

Hold the light

Reach for life

No sacrifice

No offer in sacred rite

Bow for one or for none

[Refrain]

They've got 'em pulling in a rack now (Pulling in a rack)

Soaked in red toe to head

Deathbed desire

Fire

Soaked in red toe to head

Deathbed desire

Fire
