Shadows Fall - Failure Of The Devout Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I am the heir of the damned kingdom

Born into a legacy of regret

Searching for the promise of salvation

Overwhelmed by the tides of our despair

Been pulled deep into the chasm

By the grip of our desire

THE GRIP OF OUR DESIRE

Must escape the weight of this depression

The choices that lead you to dismay

Who would save those who condemn themselves

CRIPPLE! Cripple your own savior

The failure, failure of the devout

Set in motion by final sacrifice

Change begun in the name of righteousness

Infiltrated by greed, lust and hatred

Once more corrupted by the hands of man

Been pulled deep into the chasm

By the grip of our desire

Must escape the weight of this depression

The choices that lead you to dismay

The handsome mask of the devil

The lure of the cross! Of the dark!

You violate the sacred with your greed

Prey upon the people's misery and needs

With your greed, with your greed, with your greed!

I am the heir of this damned kingdom

Born into a life of regret

Searching for a promise

That's no longer kept
