Testo Alive

Testo Alive

Bless your heart, your perfect lies
Your truth that hides behind a false disguise
Preaching love while you sharpen the blade
A backlash masquerade

You sip the wine, break the bread
Tear the flesh from the living dead
But hey, at least you're having fun
While the rest of us choke on the end of your gun

I'm alive and free of misery
You try to destroy me, but you know you're not holy
I'm alive, I bleed your tragedy
Fear can be deadly, but you will not break me

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

You drag me down, but I carry the weight
Found your conscience, it's too late
Gospel's of punchlines and prayers are fake
Let the evil in, now you reap what's left of
Earth is burning 'cause you lit the flame Just keep smiling through the shame
While you're busy hunting souls to frame

I'm alive and free of misery
You try to destroy me, but you know you're not holy
I'm alive, I bleed your tragedy
Fear can be deadly, but you will not break me

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

All your certainty of what is good
It can betray you, maybe now it should

You think you're helping, but you're just bored
Swinging your cross while you kill for sport
Built your castle on spite and shame
But every grave you dig bears your name

I'm alive and free of misery
You try to destroy me, but you know you're not holy
I'm alive, I bleed your tragedy
Fear can be deadly, but you will not break me

You think you're helping, but you're just bored
Swinging your cross while you kill for sport
Built your castle on spite and shame
But every grave you dig bears your name

Sing your hymns, play your part
Your cathedral's just a house of cards
