One Assassination Under God Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You gave us what we wished for
A few tangled strings attached
Pull back the curtain
I won't suffer for your amusement
There's no more dreams for me to sell
I choose my nightmares wisely
I don't wanna ruin the story
But it doesn't turn out well
[Pre-Chorus]
You will always be entertained
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Verse 2]
Put me inside the animal
Stitch it up and shove us off a cliff
When they tear the wings from all the swine
Just monkeys will be left to fly
The pilot light has flickered out
And all the ashes will be screaming
No one can hear my last words
And no encore once we say goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
You will always be entertained
You will always be entertained
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
Assassination
[Chorus]
Everybody showed up for the execution
But nobody would show their face
To shoot you in the back of the head
And call it sacrifice
They don't deserve to even say your name
[Outro]
Sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
It's not a sacrifice
(Not a sacrifice, not a sacrifice, not a sacrifice)
As Sick as the Secrets Within Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is no longer just my communion
The worms of the flesh have turned
With all the sacrifices I swallow
And the blood from the cup is so cold
[Interlude]
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
[Verse 2]
It's not so evil as much as it's hungry
I see these bodies and the bones picked clean
I built this cage we've been trapped in together
Can't remember where I hid the keys
[Pre-Chorus]
A reason for me, for me to gеt by
Became a need, a need to get high
Thеn into a life that was no life at all
No life at all
[Chorus]
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
A reason for me, for me to get by
Became a need, a need to get high
And into a life that was no life at all
No life at all
[Chorus]
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
[Bridge]
I was never your taxidermy
I'm sewn into your soul
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping
[Chorus]
There is a trick to get out of your skin
You're only as sick as the secrets within
But the beast is calling for us and
Slowly assuming control
[Outro]
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
You're only as sick as the secrets within
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping, I'll make you dream of me
Keep sleeping
Sacrifice of the Mass Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They started the last rites
The Earth has opened wide
I can hear my mother's voice
Time for me to say goodbye
I never learned how to love
Those drugs weren't meant for healing
I just gave for the sake of taking
Now God will swallow me
[Verse 2]
Now I hear the children chanting
And the widows want to eat
I think they've helped themselves
To enough of my bad dreams
Lay your hеad against my heart
Can you feel me fading?
The first burial that I'vе been to
Tell the abyss to stop staring at me
[Chorus]
The greater the star
The more violent its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie
The greater the star
The more violent its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie
[Bridge]
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
When we lifted the stone
We should have known
We'd be bitten by the snake below
[Chorus]
The greater the star
The more violent its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie
The greater the star
The more violent its demise
Maybe it was forced attrition
When you pray you cannot lie
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Mother can't mourn me
Father won't win my fights
I'm dressed in my mortuary best
I'm ready for my ride
The blood of the covenant
Is thicker than the water of the womb
They're waiting with open arms
For me to join them soon
