Story behind the song
This song was written for the sole purpose of getting to the last riff. The story behind the lyrics at the end go all the way back to 4th grade. I will expound on that story at a later time.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Risen from the depths of the grave
Said you’ve come back to save
All the sinners and saints alike
Finish what began long ago
Still got nothing to show
From those words that you preached
That day said you wanted peace
In the world under one sacred word
And a dream for a better way
It was hate that got in the way
Still here with us today
From you heart
It was born and raised
Chorus
All heard the lies
And the don’t think twice
They’ve traded life for paradise
Verse 2
Freedom has been taken away
Vengeance now has its sway
And a nation is made a slave
History repeated again
Just as guilty a sin
As it was in another day
Turned us from the things that were right
Won the war with no fight
Left the heroes of old for dead
Finally did away with the past
End of time at last
Sun has set on a better way
Chorus
All heard the lies
And the don’t think twice
They’ve traded life for paradise
Bridge
Now he lives again
Brings his greatest sin
Now all live in fear
Of the words they hear
Spreading of his will
All his lies instilled
Now you’ll take his mark
Leave you in the dark
Bow your head
Give him all with no regret
Bend your pride
Swallow what you feel inside
What’s he done
Don’t you know what you’ve become
What’s he done to you tonight
What’s he done
Don’t you know what you’ve become
For his sins you paid the price
Interlude
Give me your soul and I’ll take it
Give me a rule and I’ll break it
I’m ruling this world
Until gold trumpets are heard
I’ll stop at nothing to take what is yours
I’m ruling this world
Until gold trumpets are heard
I’ll stop at nothing to take what is yours
Outro
Kill me Lord, I’m the Devil
Kill me Lord, I’m Satan himself
Kill me Lord, I’m the Devil
Kill me Lord, I’m Satan himself
Kill me Lord, I’m the Devil
Kill me Lord, I’m Satan himself
Kill me Lord, I’m the Devil
Kill me Lord, I’m Satan himself
Kill me Lord, I’m the Devil
