Live On Your Knees - Explicit
Words and Music by Patrick Harnish
Blackest of black
And lowest of low
All of these gods
And nothing to show.
Brightest of stars
A five-pointed lie.
They bound you with rope
And left you to die.
Bible of bibles you teach me your prayers.
You can look at your savior
But don't fucking stare.
He's the father of fathers
He tells you beware.
He's the ruler of ants
And nobody cares.
Put a hand on your cross
And a cross on your grave
And you bow to the gods
And you die as a slave.
You sift through the ash of the dead and the gone
And you live on your knees for..
So long we serve our masters.
The softest of flesh
Makes holes to the heart.
Parasitical words
That feed in the dark.
You're a beacon to dogs
All feral and turned.
A match for the forest
That's waiting to burn.
Bible of bibles
You teach me your prayers.
You can read from the scripture
But live, don't you dare.
He's the father of fathers
He tells you beware.
A lord to the ants
And nobody cares.
Put a hand on your cross
And a cross on your grave
And you bow to the gods
And you die as a slave.
You sift through the ash
Of the dead and the gone
And you live on your knees for...
With a hand on your cross
And a cross on your grave
And you bow to the gods
And you die as a slave.
Drink blood from the chalice
Of the dead and the gone
And you live on your knees for
So fucking long...
We serve our masters.
When you're feeling down
And you're so alone
I'm like a cherub
Come to carry you home.
I wanna' lay inside you.
Breathe life inside you.
Incubate your soul.
With a hand on your cross...
With a hand on your cross
And a cross on your grave
And you bow to the gods
And you die as a slave.
Drink blood from the chalice
Of the dead and the gone
And you live on your knees for...
So long!
So fucking long!
