The Shepherd's Staff |
| I bite my tongue |
| Spitting forth the blood of the angels |
| As they weep and moan |
| I know this is the devil’s work |
| The shepherd’s staff holds more in faith |
| Than any sheep alone |
| I know this is the devil’s work |
| Tie my idle hands so |
| They may never sin again |
| The darkest of sermons is preached |
| To an unwilling crowd of men on their knees |
| Muttering false words of praise |
| To an unloving, glorified dignity |
| I will endure the gnashing of teeth |
| I will wade through the depths of despair |
| And endless suffering |
| I pray to avert my ears, but it seems that |
| No one’s listening |
| Abandoned by God, my purpose is clear: |
| I exist to rid the earth |
| Of every trace of the living |
| Possessed by the reigning king of falsehood and resentment |
| Driven to exterminate all that breathes |
| Possessed by the reigning king of falsehood and resentment |
| If this is His will, and God stands still… |
| This child of Hell shall force it’s home upon the earth |
| I witness it’s unfortunate birth |
| Tie my idle hands so |
| They may never sin again |
| Cut out my lying tongue |
| And remove these thoughts within |
| Possessed by the reigning king of falsehood and resentment |
| Driven to exterminate all that breathes |
| Possessed by the reigning king of falsehood and resentment |
| If this is His will, and God stands still… |
| Possessed by the reigning king of falsehood and resentment |
| If this is His will, and God stands still, |
| My life was never meant to be |
