The First Hymn Lyrics - Singles - Eerie Von

And so I chose the night to be my dominion 

Beauty, hope and joy all lay behind 

All things good were no longer my companions 

Buried with the soul that I let die 

Then I sang the first hymn 

And I filled a river red with blood 

Drenched my whole world in sin 

Left my city in dust 

The few believers wanted to be picked 

Praying to their God like some pious lunatics 

Their sins were deadly, my lies, their truth 

I opened up the gates and let them crawl through 

To sing their first hymn 

Filled their river with blood 

Drenched their whole world in sin 

Built their cities of dust 

Drenched their whole world in sin 

River red with blood 

Built their cities of dust 

I sang the first hymn 

And I filled a river red with blood 

Drenched my whole world in sin 

Left my city in dust 

I sang the first hymn 

I filled a river red 

I sang the first hymn 

River red with blood 

Once freedom came for me, and for my wearied soul 

Prisoner of life I'd be no more 

But the taste of blood had grown far too sweet 

So I chose to walk the road that I was on 

So I sang the next hymn 

Filled a river with the death of love 

And wallowed in my sin 

Left my city in dust 

Filled a river red with blood 

Left my city in dust
