Virgin Black - Velvet Tongue lyrics

rate me

A thousand tears, a thousand eyes

My friends and I, we cry

Religion has raped us

Forever we rehearse the song

That strips our throats to blood

We bare our souls in transparency

But our velvet tongues will never please their ears

But are you holding on?

I'm holding on

Look at us dying

A field of human crucifixes, weathered and fading

Heaven hears nothing as the priests are wailing

And they're crushing our souls

We feel our lives

Sifting through our hands

But we're holding on

Look at my face

Look at God in my eyes

We stand
