about

Your church in demise, a foundation so fragile it begins to crack...

lyrics

Our Hearts Turn Black

Let us pray
To the crone on the cross all covered in blood

Alone in the fray
Amongst the screams of a malevolent ballad

The dead are engaged
An ordain proposal full of lies

The white now is gray
From the wickedness which fills the skies

March the sinners in the darkened aisles
Broken halos gilded in the face of denial
A solemn promise to be sealed with a kiss
It’s useless to resist

Bless me father - for I am Sin
The words - echo from within
Stained glass shadows - dance in the midst
Of the confining noose - we’ve begun to twist

Your church in demise
A foundation so fragile it begins to crack
Hatred arise
The decay we covet makes our hearts turn black

So we kneel
At the feet of chaos in this hell we have made

Devotion concealed
In a coffin where happiness was betrayed

By the appeal
Of the fallen that you have forbade

Damn the dreamers with their sparkling eyes
There’s only nightmares in a blood red sky
Which rains of fire and violent ends
A vow that can’t be broken always bends

To the will of fear and disgust
This polished façade begins to rust
Like a cancer upon humanity
It’s because you, this blasphemy

Abash we stand upon the broken alter
Swearing aloud we will not falter
The truth has crept within our head
Now that lamb has of god has been bled

On his rented masquerade
A rehearsed ending to this charade
One for the penance and one for the peck
Hanging by your fucking neck

The faithful fall from heavens
Withering from the betrayal within
The deceit that feeds our hate
Is now what makes our hearts turn black

With a fire raging inside
Towards the parasite that’s eating our minds
Contempt for the father who lies
Is what has made our hearts turn black
