SAINT LYRICS

1. Holier than Thou

[Smith, Nelson]

In the beginning
I took the lead
You can leave it up to me
You are forgiven
I'll take the blame
You live in shame
Holier than thou
Locking the doors and avoiding creation
Falling apart at the seams
Spreading like fire and flowing like rivers
Nothing like I've ever seen
We're stacking them deep and we're stacking them high
There's no other way we know now
We are holier than thou
Holier than thou
There is a time when we live for ever
The time is so special don't let it slip away
You take the high road
I'll take the blame
You live in chains

Holier than thou

2. Creature

[Johnson, Nelson]

Giving sermon's on the back of the bus
Trading patience with a personal lust
Pass the goblet of pure natures wine
Say it's not you're you know it's mine
There's no tomorrow were hovering fast
You pass out and you just laugh
The night is young and we gotta serve
Off to the firmament away from this earth
Creature lives among the mountain side
Preacher let the children lie
Teacher take me there eternal life
Meet you on the other side
And as you surface it's starts to be clear
Why you came and why you are here
The past was written for you not to fall
Part of the plan to strength it all
This is what you see when you ride
One way non-stop ticket it to the light
It's all down there for us all the view
If you earn the seat of the few
(It's simple here – nothing like I've ever seen)
Giving sermon's on the back of the bus
Pass the goblet of pure natures wine

3. Dance of the Gods

[Lynch, Nelson]

Everybody in we'd like to meet you
Sit down and we'll take your money and begin
If you're in the mood we need to feed you
We have a plan that will excite your inner move

Dark shaded empty lives will be abused

When you feel your soul is sinkin' we will rescue you

Dance of the gods

Put your money in and pass it around
And listen to the bishop with the dirty crown
You think he's saving your soul but what you don't know
It's a parricidal diocese corrupt and wrong

It's not too holy but you play along
Ya' kinda like the lyrics to the ancient song
You start to quiver when they start to moan
Now your bodies doing the cathedral twist

Dance of the gods

Now wait a minute don't you listen can you here them pray
You left them hanging at the altar, now repent today
Don't you feel it just a little, c'mon give 'em a chance
They look up to ya' the instructor of the sacred dance
Dance of the gods

It's something evil they're taking every penny for your every sin

Should be illegal there's something evil and nothings for free

4. Morning Star

[Smith, Nelson]

He was born under the son
And everyone from then looked on
And the water that he drank
Was holy with original stain

From above the shining one
The sun and the morning star
Leaped through time against the odds
And now his time it has come

Morning star
You've been to Heaven
And you rang all the bells
Morning star
Why don't you tell me
How to stay outta Hell

Morning star

Fallen angel
In the end he will not prevail
(He's fallen, ah)

Got to Heaven and sent to Hell
Falling one will not prevail
Falling star
You are far
From who we are
Morning star

Spanned time and preached to none
And now the battle is won

Morning star
You've been to Heaven
Now you're ringing the bell
Morning star
Why don't you tell me
How to stay outta Hell

Morning star
You are far
From who we are
Morning star

5. Make Believe

[Lynch, Nelson]

You believe and then you start to sink
He picks you up, you start to believe
The messenger is coming in the wind
Now all is well and you stop believin'

Stop playin' the roll
Start takin' control
He's gonna catch you when you fall

Why don't you want me
When I'm the one that makes you breathe
Why don't you need me
When I'm the one that's make believe

Things are better than they really are
You can escape with the art of believin'
Pretend you travel to a star
And through the journey your body is leaving

And then you begin to sink
And through the clouds you can't think
And what has happened is left there below

There is an evil in us all
Why don't you want me
When you're the one that makes me bleed
Why don't you need me
When you're the one that's make believe

Start takin' control
Stop playin' the roll
'Cause you are the one
The one that's

Make believe

6. Chosen One

[Smith, Nelson]

The evil is rising, the elders losing grip
The children are worried there's no one to forgive
Into the mighty water they will be thrashed and torn
And lay alone in the light of the moon

In the morning they will sacrifice to live forever and ever
And choose a life to live in Paradise

(I am the chosen one) and now the angels fallen
The chosen one is called
(I am the Father's son) creations flowin' outta me
(You try to deny but you're the evil one)
(I am the chosen one) and as the time keeps rolling
And hope and dreams are done
(I have an angels tongue) we call out to the chosen one
(There's only one way that you can be free)

The torture is over and the demons released
The children lie vulnerable in their dreams
Into the night they will find them crushing their souls into dust
Leaving behind their shadows in the dusk

In the morning they will sacrifice to live forever and ever
And choose a life to live in Paradise
And now the angels fallen
The chosen one is called
Creations flowin' outta me

I am the chosen one and I talk to the devil with an angels tongue
(I am the chosen one) you try to deny but you're the evil one
(I am the chosen one) and as the time keeps rolling
And hope and dreams are gone
(I am the Father's son) we call out to the chosen one
Into the mighty water we'll be thrashed and torn

7. Vengeance

[Smith, Lynch, Nelson]

Emotions are stirring and you're to blame
Two-fisted anger means nothing to me
Now wallow in your ignorance
I sit and stare into your eyes
Until you freeze in your demise

I'm back with a vengeance
I can't take any more
I'm back for the attack, I’m back

When you choose to nothing
That's when bad things happen

Live in a moments time you leave the past behind
Vengeance is ours to find and we're one step away

Lying in a pool of tears just means you drown in fear
If you can pick yourself up from it dust it off
We'll call it even move on

Emotions are stirring of retribution
Two fisted anger means nothing to them
You wallow inflicted in punishment
They sit and stare into your eyes
Until you freeze in your demise

I'm back with a vengeance
I can't take any more

Live in a moments time and leave the past behind
Vengeance is ours to find and we're one step away

8. Fallen Armor

[Johnson, Nelson]

Forged by the desperate souls assassin creed
Scattered across the realm in the torment of Hades
Where the embers often linger
Give the warmth of after burn
Looking for the empty armor
Fallen soldier - empty soul
Empty armor – empty soul
Fallen armor – fallen soul

And now he's lived and conquered - now that he's fallen armor

Get the witness to confession
For the glory in the air
Looking for the empty soldier
Fallen armor - empty soul
Terror and destruction is a plan that never ends
Torment and seduction all inside of frightened man
Let him live, let him be strong
Never quit and let him shine on

Cursing all the writing that a we don't see
Why don't we just shine on - and let it be
Why don't we answer the distant cries
Then shine a light - until there's fire!

Fallen armor

9. The Exile of Cain

[Smith, Nelson]

Corrupt descendants a life of contemptment a downcast of eternity
Never accepted, a life rejected was punished eternally
Living in exile condemned and banished to wander into the night

And for his brother he will pay
Punished for life, the exile of Cain

Corrupting of descendants with a lifetime of contemptment
And he was a downcast for eternity
He will never be accepted, from the life he was rejected
And punishment will be eternally

Living in exile confined and banished to wander into the dark
Tortured and anguished the past has been wasted
He walks alone into the night
The fire is rising his soul is demising not able to be in the light

For his brother he will pay
There will never be a day that he'll ever see the light
And on the day that he was born and forever they'll be torn
Between what is wrong or what is right

Tortured and anguished his past has been wasted
He walks alone into the night
The fire is rising, his soul is demising not able to be in the light

And for his brother he will pay
Punished for life, the exile of Cain

10. Words of Wisdom

[Smith, Nelson]

Speaking in the words of wisdom, oh so divine
Clinging to the doctrines of time

They keep searchin' as they suffer
But they keep goin' on

Can't help the feelin' that they were wrong

Left out in the endless night
Tryin' to prove them all wrong
It just ain't right

Speak to me in wisdom
Talk to me without words

And if the rapture will fallow
On your way you will go

Talk to me flawlessly and listen to me

Speaking in the words of wisdom wasted in my mind

Walking through the desert all the time

Left out in the endless night
Tryin' to prove them all wrong
It ain't right
Speak to me in wisdom
Talk to me without words

And if the rapture will fallow
On your way you will go

Goodnight, goodbye

Speaking in the words of wisdom
Wasting all my time
Talking with a higher vision

Rising in a perfect sun
Wake me when it all is done

Walking in an angels line
Tell me when it is my time

Speak to me in wisdom
Talk to me without words

11. Heaven Fell

[Lynch, Nelson]

It's time to reap your soul accept your denial
The sky is falling tonight
Angels fly in a final glide
Sinking though the milky-way

The Son came down
And the stars were pins and needles
Saints and angels were sent home
Never again will there be a hell
We finally met our Maker
On the day that Heaven fell

When Heaven fell
We met our Maker
When Heaven fell

Let the light out that's in you stand before all
The Father's calling tonight
Set the night on fire let it burn
Torching everything away

The Son came down
And the stars were pins and needles
All the angels were sent home (finally Heaven is on Earth)
Never again will there be a hell
We finally met our Maker
On the day when Heaven fell

When Heaven fell
We met our Maker
Now and forever
