The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

A Plea For Purging The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Lyrics
1.The Eternal Female

I am the reaper... I will be the demise of your reign.
I am the dark shadow where you hide.
Self-righteous fascist, you chase the sun.
Glory belongs to no man.
Crooked church, you sell the Son.
Thieves deserve to have no hands.
Our prisons were built with the stones of law,
whorehouses are built with the bricks of religion.
Oh man of God, from which was your stone?
I've stayed quiet for far too long.
'Cause I've typecast myself to censor what I can say.
I'm so sick of this, sick of what's going on.
Now I'm putting an end to my silence: Your god's not real.
Your god's not real.
Your god's not real.
This is the end of my silence.
The wolf provides for his own, but God provides for the lion.
The wolf provides for his own, but God provides for the lion.
I am the lion, you are the wolf.
You can run but I will find you.
The wolf provides for his own, but God provides for the lion.
I am the lion, you are the wolf.
You can run but I will find you.
I am the reaper.
You can run but I will find you.
I am the reaper.


2.Sick Silent America

We are the new free-thinkers
My father gave me a brain
My mother taught me to use it
So swallow back all the vomit that you're spewing

They're all buying it, but I'm not buying
You can't fool me anymore

You are the curse
You are the curse
Your false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back

The new heaven is born and hell revives
The new heaven is born and hell revives
The new heaven is born and hell revives
The new heaven is born and hell revives

As I walked along the flames of hell
It became known to me
That you are nothing
But a wolf in priest's clothing

They're all buying it, but I'm not buying it
They cry, 'Lead us, oh chosen one!'

You are the curse
You are the curse
You're false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back

This is the death of faith and all that is good

You are the curse
You are the curse
You're false prophecies darken my eyes and break my back

They cry, 'Lead us, oh chosen one!'
The new heaven is born and hell revives
The new heaven is born and hell revives

The new heaven is born and hell revives
The new heaven is born and hell revives


3.Shiver

Cheap steps make for easy regrets, but keep your words of
contempt.
You are no friend, my enemy, you tear me down, keep me weak.
I wear no crown of weakness, His is no crown of weakness.
I wear no crown of weakness, hide in your own contempt.
Iron sharpens iron, but your judgment's dulling me.
I answer to no man.
You're no gods or masters of this world.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm damned.
I pray I don't wake up in hell.
If I were God we'd all be dead.
If I were God we'd all be dead...
We're all dead.
The devil's hands have been busy.
The devil's hands have been busy.
Grace sustains, but I thirst for revenge.
The world would be destroyed if I were God.
Demons are fallen angels.
Remember that when you think you're a saint.
Demons are fallen angels.
Remember that when you think you're a saint.
Fallen angels, I'm coming for your wings.
Fallen angels, I'll cut off your wings.
If I were God we'd all be dead. If I were God we'd all be dead.
Lord knows I'm a cynic, but I won't give up, won't give in.
Lord knows I'm a cynic, but I won't give up without a fight.
The devil's hands have been busy, turning liars to masters,
demons to gods.


4.Golden Barriers

Fame is a lonely world
Success has its enemies
Look where its gotten us
Is this what we wanted?
It has nothing for me
What can you offer a man that has nothing to lose?
Fame is a lonely world
Success has its enemies

I'm sick and tired of looking past the things you do
I'm sick of sugar-coating everything I say
Was it good or evil that I sold my soul?
This is over my head, over your head, over my head anyway

Life can truly begin
When you have nothing to lose
I have nothing, nothing left to lose

Life can truly begin
When you have nothing to lose
I have nothing left to lose

I fear no death and no pain
I have nothing left to lose
I'm not scared of you
I'm not scared of you
I fear no death and no pain
I have nothing left to lose
I'm not scared of you
I'm not scared of you

We will not be stopped
You will not silence me


5.The Fall

One foot in front of the other.
Fall in line. One foot in front of the other.

Since day one this has been damned.
We blindly follow anything that we're shown.
Open your eyes. This is a lie.
Open your eyes. We're all living a lie.

Maybe we're the same. (We're not the same. We're not the same.)
No, but I despise you.(No, I despise you.)
I know I'm nothing like you. (I'm nothing like you.)

One foot in front of the other.
Fall in line. One foot in front of the other.

Since day one I knew this was wrong.
I'm no puppet, I dance for no one.
Open my eyes. Open my eyes.
Open my eyes. I refuse to live a lie.

Maybe we're the same. (We're not the same.
We're not the same.) No, but I despise you.
(No, I despise you.) I know I'm nothing like you.
(I don't wanna be anything like you.)

I refuse to fall in line.
I refuse to fall in line... fall in line... fall in line.
I refuse to fall in line.

Maybe we're the same. (We're not the same. We're not the same.)
No, but I despise you.
(No, I despise you.) I know I'm nothing like you.
(I don't wanna be anything like you.)
Maybe we're the same. (We're not the same. We're not the same.)
No, but I despise you.
(No, I despise you.) I know I'm nothing like you.
(I don't wanna be anything like you.)


6.And Weep

Your god is dead...
Your hands are soaked in blood.
You liar (Liar). You liar.

You're charged with death.
Murder of what's pure.
Perverted God for a fallen youth.
They'll follow every single word you say...
You're charged with death.
You're charged with death.
Sell your soul, sell your god.
Hide from all who you are.
The taste of gold tastes just like blood.

You murderer killed all my hope, murdered everything.
Innocence lost, there's no turning back.
I question every single word you say.

You're charged with death.
You're charged with death.
Sell your soul, sell your god.
Hide from all who you are.
The taste of gold tastes just like blood.

Now you'll never be able to buy back what you've lost.
Has it ever been worth it?
Will it ever be worth it for you?...
Has it ever been worth it?
Will it ever be worth it?
Sell your soul, sell your god.
Hide from all who you are.
The taste of gold tastes just like blood.

Your god is dead. Your god is dead.
Your god is dead. Your god is dead.
One eight seven. Murder in the first degree.
You liar. Your god is dead.


7.Trembling Hands

This is a song for those who've lost hope.
This is a song for those searching.
This is a song for those that question.
This is a song for those searching.

Question everyone. Question everything. And trust no one.
Everyone has a motive. None of which are pure.
Question everyone. Question everything. And trust no one.
Everyone has a motive. None of which are pure.

There are vipers. They are liars.
There are vipers everywhere waiting to prey on you.
Watch out for their poison. They wait to devour you.
Don't be deceived. Don't be deceived. Don't be deceived.

Question everyone. Question everything. And trust no one.
Everyone has a motive. None of which are pure.

'' SPOKEN WORD PART ''

Children watch your backs.
The monster is coming. The monster is coming.
Hide your soul, hold it tight.
There is a viper on the loose.

Question everyone. Question everything. And trust no one.
Everyone has a motive. None of which are pure.
Question everyone. Question everything. And trust no one.
Everyone has a motive. None of which are pure.

Follow no man's words because I know what man holds.
Follow the path of God because I know what man holds.
Follow no man's words because I know what man holds.
Follow the path of God because I know what man holds.


8.Finite

We're the ones you run to when your world is crashing down.
This choice made years ago is such a heavy crown.
I didn't know it would be so hard.
That my words would mean so much.
I'm not your priest. I'm not your prophet.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god. So what now?

How did we all get here and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you.

This was built on the backs of the broken and those who need
hope.
How dare we look at them and see praying hands as a means of
profit.
I didn't know it would be so hard. That my words could hurt so
much.
I am no leader, but I won't give up on them.

I'm not your priest. I'm not your prophet.
Open your eyes and see.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god.
Don't put your faith in me.

How did we all get here and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you.
How did we all get here and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you.

I'm not your priest. I'm not your prophet.
I'm not a saint. I'm not a god.

How did we all get here and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you.
How did we all get here and what did we do?
How can I lead you when I'm just as weak as you... just as weak
as you.


9.The Jealous Wings

Wading through the water, slow and thick.
I am aware now.
They're not who they said they were,
slipping on their words beneath the surface.

For what it's worth I know,
I'm not the man you were.
I'm living in the shadows of intent
and we're all teeth in the wolf's mouth.

Risk and regret, thrive tonight,
the masterminds of mud and mire.
Build your kingdoms up and when they fall,
we'll be watching every brick.

Speak with empty voices and knives of glass.
Easily we're broken.
'Cause I believe the words that you speak,
but never trust the lips that they are leaving.

For what it's worth we know,
we're not the men we were.
We're living in the shadows of intent.
We've all been teeth in the wolf's mouth.

Risk and regret, thrive tonight,
the masterminds of mud and mire.
Build your kingdoms up and when they fall,
we'll be watching every brick.


10.The New Born Wonder

I'm lost without a sound, but I have ears to hear.

God, I'm weak and I'm tired,
and I want this fighting in my head to stop.
They say, 'Hang it up young man'.
They say, 'Hate only leaves you cold and alone'.

I'm too jaded to care, too scared to run.
I let my apathy get the best of me.
I'm too jaded to care, too scared to run.
I let my apathy get the best of me.

Well, Jesus, if you can heal,
I have the ears to hear (have the ears to hear).
Sing a sweet sweet song to my ear.
'Cause I pray I haven't fallen too far.

I'm too jaded to care, too scared to run.
I let my apathy get the best of me.
I'm too jaded to care, too scared to run.
I let my apathy get the best of me.

I'm lost... lost without a sound.
I'm lost... lost... lost without a sound.
I'm lost... lost without a sound.
I'm lost... lost... lost without a sound.
I'm lost... lost without a sound.
I'm lost... lost... lost without a sound. I'm lost...

My God, if you can heal, I have the ears to hear.
My God, if you can heal, I have the ears to hear.
My God, if you can heal, I have the ears to hear.

I'm not the same kid I used to be.
I'm not the man that I need to be.
Look at what I've become.
Look at what you've become.
Look at what we've become.
Look at what this has made me become.
