lyrics

Here’s a story of a demagogue, that’s true
About a stubborn man who stole the book
And rewrote all the rules
He told his tale of degradation
The words drawn from his pain
He told the priest to ignore his faith
And make one up again

His blood runs cold

You cannot buy protection from the pain it makes you feel
You can’t pretend he changed the world
He just built something from steel

I lie awake by moonlight to take solace where I can
I live on drugs from the barren land to become a better man

My blood runs cold

Paint a vulgar picture of the bodies you have known
Those you lied to and all those you loved
Discarded without hope
You cannot smile, pretend it’s right when all your spirits gone
You cannot feign ignorance; you were taught it well at home

Enjoy your life of affluence, pretend you’re doing well
Catch yourself on the escalator as you descend into hell
You cannot paint a picture if the colours are not real
Do you question your right to an afterlife?
Does the alter still make you kneel?

Blood runs cold

My blood runs cold
