Lyrics Faith in Decay - Tragic Black

Faith in Decay

Awakened from sleep in the dead of the night in an old monastary where you
spend your life
Flesh quickly touches the blade of the knife
The broken silence shrieks in delight
Adorned in tattered robes, faith in decay
While you’re chanting the words that you must say
Dead things on the altar wait and remain as you quickly fall on your weak knees
and pray
Mental constructions haunting your mind
Ritual sin for the soul you must bind
Dove feathers stick to the blood on your wrist
The vampiric bite of a heavenly kiss
The children cry
The choirs sigh
All the while being crucified
Stigmatic plague in your mind
All the while being crucified
The words of Christ turned into lies
All the while being crucified
Look at the world through my eyes
All the while being crucified
Your god watches you bleed as you stare at the sky
Left lying alone questioning why
No salvation for you after you die
Imagine redemption as you close your eyes
The children cry
The choirs sigh
All the while being crucified
Stigmatic plague in your mind
All the while being crucified
The words of Christ turned into lies
All the while being crucified
Look at the world through my eyes
All the while being crucified
