Lyrics

set a house on fire in my home town
who dares to come and get me
gotta lay low 'cause the house burnt now
who else could burn it but me
there ain't nothing left where it used to stand
crawled in the window and cut my hand
set fire to the pews and i bask in the light
step outside in the middle of the night
and the church burn

god will frown upon me
ardor and the only
martyr that is lone the
starter of the boneless

met a man i killed in the morning
who else could kill him but me
the man dead but came back as a warning
who dares to kill him but me?
there ain't nothing left where it used to stand
crawled in the window and cut my hand
set fire to the pews and i bask in the light
step outside in the middle of the night
and the church burn

god will frown upon me
ardor and the only
martyr that is lone the
starter of the boneless

there ain't nothing left where it used to stand
crawled in the window and cut my hand
set fire to the pews and i bask in the light
step outside in the middle of the night

god will frown upon me
ardor and the only
martyr that is lone the
starter of the boneless

same sign as before
nothings gonna be anymore
and the curch burn
whatever be the cost
got the feeling that i must
bring that flame to the cross

and the church burn

god will frown upon me
ardor and the only
martyr that is lone the
starter of the boneless

Best band to listen to while reading berserk.

Words can't describe how I feel, Zeal & Ardor you folks know how to make some damn amazing music. Keep doing what you love.

[tobitaktlos]

I'm big into blues, blues rock. My go to is usually something like The Black Keys, Black Pistol Fire. had my short little dive into Metal genres as well. So this is a perfect combination and i've just started discovering this band, excited whats to come!

[wendigockel]

I play this song on my stereo whenever Jehova's Witnesses come to visit.

[bryanmartina]

What a beautiful song.
Perfectly aggressive in all the right ways

Lyrics:
Set a house on fire in my home town
Who dares to come and get me
Gonna lay low 'cause the house burnt now
Who else could burn it but me?
There ain't nothing left where it used to stand (Nothing left where it used to stand)
Crawled in the window and cut my hand (Cut my hand)
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light (Bask in the light)
Step outside in the middle of the night
And the church burn
And the church burn
God will frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless
Met a man I killed in the morning
Who else could kill him but me?
The man dead, but came back as a warning
Who dares to kill him but me?
There ain't nothing left where it used to stand (Nothing left where it used to stand)
Crawled in the window and cut my hand (Cut my hand)
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light (Bask in the light)
Step outside in the middle of the night
And the church burn
And the church burn
God will frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless
There ain't nothing left where it used to stand
Crawled in the window and cut my hand
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light
Step outside in the middle of the night
God shall frown upon me (God shall frown upon me)
Ardor and the only (Ardor and the only)
Martyr that is lone the (Martyr that is lone the)
Starter of the boneless (Starter of the boneless)
Same sign as before
Nothing's gonna be anymore
And the church burn
Whatever be the cost
Got the feeling that I must
Bring that flame to the cross
Bring that flame to the cross
And the church burn
God shall frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless

Sounds like we need this song more than ever now

[Gogish]

Hello from Ukraine. Still living. Still fighting.

[Tony_Zagoraios]

Respect. You guys, are from another planet!!!

[jasonjacoby]

👐

I'll bring the marshmallows.

[thrasherpete]

Killer as always from Z&A. Some of the most powerful music I've heard.
Cool to be one of the first comments!

[grindcoreninja]

Reading through the "Preacher" comics for the first time after watching the series and holy shit this fits the series so well.

[benivey]

What happened to A Spiritual, Death Of A Billion, etc. on their channel? Why did some songs get deleted??? Still loving the new stuff though.

[kozmotopia]

We need a Zeal & Ardor REMIXES album ASAP !!

[colinbuchanan]

Music video idea, it starts with them just playing in front of a church at night and every time the heavy stuff kicks in they're in corpse makeup in front of a burning church

[dietrichwolf]

church burn = when the priest roasts you in front of the congregation
