Lyrics Heretic - Symphony X

Heretic

The human infection
Soaring on winds of woe and pestilence
Remove imperfection —
Parasites with lives of little consequence,
Even though we know the sky is falling
Still we choose not to believe,
On your knees…
Heretic — devil in disguise
Never quit — tearing down the walls, brick by brick
Feeding on the lies — Heretic
Counterfeit’s the kingdom you devise
The flesh breeds corruption —
Irradicate the insect prey, exterminate
Crawl with the Leeches — you cry
Shattered to pieces — you die
Here I stand — god of man — the Perfect Beast
Even though we know the sky is falling
Still we choose not to believe
On your knees…
Heretic — devil in disguise
Never quit — tearing down the walls, brick by brick
Feeding on the lies — Heretic
Counterfeit’s the kingdom you devise
Oh, burn!
Watch me burn — Live and learn
As the night surrounds me No escape, no where to hide
Feel the sting of severing
Become one with Darkness
No escape, I’m dead inside
Heretic — devil in disguise
Never quit — tearing down the walls
Brick by brick
Feeding on the lies — Heretic
Counterfeit’s the kingdom you devise
