lyrics

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.
