His Name Was Bishop Lyrics - Singles - Oh, Sleeper

With the dawn brings vision of the crawling field 

Riddled with vain attempts, all in a corpse, so familiar 

But not my own, this is the difference 

Between you and I we are the captive fighters 

But cuffs must hold stronger, stronger than skin 

Oh, but until the drops number the floor I'll pull 

'Cause I saw the gates and they're guarded 

By a greedy shield and the most carnal of edge 

This is the difference you've left on your own, so forlorn 

What have you done? You've traded the chains 

And bought yourself a new crown 

Now there are no bars, now there are no bars 

(Be ready) 

When lips reveal the knives a victim 

From light, becomes feed for the parched 

Bishop, you're as far from the cloth as the dogs 

And we share that familiar thirst 

Bishop, mouths wet with the thought of meat 

To tear and taste, but will it quench? It never does 

Oh, our crest is the same 

But it's a lie when you wear it 

It's a lie but were still seen the same 

For the chain and the drops lure 

And you, the captive fighter 

With victory off your tongue 

Don't you see? That's what you did 

When the weak looked up to you 

You fraud, wear your crown of greed 

Light the pyre, a fraud has been found 

Let it be known, this war will not be won 

Without fire, without loss or without a fight
