Lyrics

I could see them smile
Doused in gasoline
Offer up their child
As they burn and scream

My parents sold me to a preacher
Now I miss my mom and dad
I heard they joined a cult
They say, mass suicidal death
I’m locked inside the church
They say the prophecy’s foretold
Strapped to the altar
I’m the sacrifice the owe
Oooh

They’ll chase me through the graveyard
I hear their guns
I’ll hide behind the chapel
Their out for blood

They’ll call you brother
Then They’ll turn around and chop off your hand
Can’t trust your mother
Cause your father was a traveling man

Stone written tablets in the basements
Where authored etched their lies
They’ll sell you your forgiveness
If you pay them with your life
An actor in his mansion
Hold a party where they’ll meet
Strapped to the table
Let the holy have their feast

They’ll chase me through the graveyard
I hear their guns
I’ll hide behind the chapel
Their out for blood

They’ll call you brother
Then They’ll turn around and chop off your hand
Can’t trust your mother
Cause your father was a traveling man

They’ll preach salvation as they tie my limbs
And rip out my teeth
They’ll soak their daggers In the pigs blood
As I beg and I plead

Lyrics!

I can see them smile doused in gasoline,
Offer up their child as they burn and scream,

My parents sold me to a preacher,
Now I miss my mom and dad,
I heard they joined a cult,
they say mass suicidal death,
I'm locked inside the church,
They say the prophecies for told,
Strapped to the alter I'm the sacrifice they owe,

Uueeuue

They'll chase me through the graveyard,
I hear their guns,
I'll hide behind the chapel,
Their out for blood,

They'll call you brother then they'll turn around and chop off your hand,
Can't trust your mother cause your father was a traveling man,

Stone written tablets in the basement where the author's etched their lies,
They'll sell you your forgiveness if you pay them with your life,
An actor in his mansion holds a party where they'll meet,
Strapped to the table,
Let the holy have their feast,
Eeuuhuhuhu,

They'll chase me through the graveyard,
I hear their guns,
I'll hide behind the chapel,
Their out for blood,

They'll call you brother then they'll turn around and chop off your hand,
Can't trust your mother cause your father was a traveling man,

They’ll preach salvation as they tie my limbs,
And rip out my teeth,
They’ll soak their daggers In the pigs blood,
As I beg and I plead
