Track Lyrics
Heresy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He's got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed a god up and called it Christianity
[Chorus]
God is dead, and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
[Verse 2]
He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering, and pain
Demands devotion, atrocities done in his name
[Chorus]
God is dead, and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
Your god is dead, and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
[Bridge]
Burning with your god in humility
Will you die for this?
Will you die for this?
Will you die for this?
Will you die for this?
[Chorus]
God is dead, and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
(Your god is dead) God is dead
(And no one cares) And no one cares
(Drowning in his own hypocrisy)
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
(Shout it out!)
(Unsung Lyrics)
Burning with your god in humility
Will you die for this?
Big Man With a Gun Lyrics
[Verse]
I am a big man, yes I am
And I've got a big gun
Got me a big ol' dick and I
I like to have fun
Held against your forehead
And I'll make you suck it
Maybe I'll put a hole in your head, you know
Just for the fuck of it
Well, I can reduce you if I want
Well, I can devour
I'm hard as fucking steel
I've got the power
I'm every inch a man
And I'll show you somehow
Me and my fucking gun
Nothing can stop me now
[Chorus]
(Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot)
I'm gonna come all over you
(Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot)
I'm gonna come all over you
(Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot)
I'm gonna come all over you
(Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot)
I'm gonna come all over you
[Outro]
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Me and my fucking gun
Reptile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
She leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
She has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
Seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
[Chorus]
Oh, my beautiful liar
Oh, my precious whore
My disease, my infection
I am so impure, oh
[Interlude]
Give it
[Verse 2]
Devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
Need to contaminate, to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
[Chorus]
Oh, my beautiful liar
Oh, my precious whore
My disease, my infection
I am so impure
[Interlude]
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh, my beautiful liar
Oh, my precious whore
My disease, my infection
I am so impure (God dammit, let me go!)
Oh, my beautiful liar (No, no, no, no, no, no!)
Oh, my precious whore
My disease, my infection
I am so impure
