Heretic

So burn me at the stake alive,
'cause I feel like a god with you inside.
Don't you know that violence is alright?
'cause I'm a heretic for life.
You enter me as clean as dawn
and pierce the sky, my morning star.
But what's the problem with my love?
Do you now see what I have become?
You come too close as to fall for me:
to court a wretch that does not deserve thee.
But what can you see that I cannot—
what do you mean I simply forgot?
You held the wind and kissed me then,
our tongues had made a holy hymn.
(But a hymn for whom the earth had lost—
one song to sing for those who depart
for the land beyond the one we’ve known
where natural law goes forgotten.)
If gravity could let us go
we would rise above the roof of the world
and see the land we used to roam
has begun its disintegration.
But what lies beyond Oblivion?
If not with you, who will I become?
Everyone up in heaven tonight
wants a bloody riot.
Everyone loves a sacrifice.
I won't deny them what they want.
So burn me at the stake alive,
'cause I feel like a god with you inside.
Don't you know that violence is alright?
'cause I'm a heretic for life.
I feel like a god with you inside.
I feel like a god.

When we're buried our bodies keep sinking down there—
no faces, no places could ever bring you back.
For the world is over now,
welcome to the next life.
The hell you found yourself—
welcome with open arms.
We barely knew you but you have to go now—
throw yourself in the river, only heretics drown.
For the life you knew is lost,
you must try to give it up.
No angels have your back—
demons own you now.
For all you knew is gone,
no use in singing songs.
Deposing god from God—
Hell is all you've known.
It's not about what you do to me.
It’s not about what you do to me.
What do they know of hypocrisy?
They say the devil has come for me!
They say: that Eve didn’t die for me;
that I’m the fruit from the poisonous tree;
that Adam cursed me to be unclean;
that I’m the snake they fear to be.
But it’s not about what you do to me.
It’s not about what you do to me.

Evangelist

"It's just nature's way of thinning the herd",
said the man at the altar.
"It's not me, it's not me,
it's bigger than you and me.
"You blame yourselves, think you need all the help
to divorce your life from its dark hell.
"These people don’t see—refuse belief—
and choose not to fight off their disease."
He says, "Don't you see you've all got the keys!
Confess yourselves to eternity!
"What more could you want? What more could you need?
You gotta choose to walk, not crawl on knees!
"You seem unclean but can be redeemed,
reveal the sins that made you weak.
He seethes out between his teeth,
"How dare you speak of deficiency?
"You've got some life and no family,
since you took the apples from all our trees."
Give them a taste of it!
Give them all the rest of it!
