lyrics

I heard the saints cry, I heard the banshees wail
I saw everything turn to ashes, and scatter in the gale
Darkened sky, streets running red
Graveyards open up and throw out their dead

Won't you calm down now, for heaven's sake
You're the bride at every wedding, the body at every wake
And you are dirty rotten beneath your hide
I bet if I cut you open, I wouldn't find a heart inside

You've got no honor, you've got no grace
You've got nothing but that crooked smile on your face
Give a man time from high on your throne
You give a man a dollar like you'd give a dog a bone

I pray one day, I'm gonna take a stand
Turn your temples to ashes, pebbles and sand
If I fall, it won't be in vain
And if I don't last long, you will remember my name
