Hounds Ditch Lyrics - Healing Through Fire - Orange Goblin

Have mercy on the city, she's a dying whore 

I never said these streets were paved with gold 

The shallow graves are overflowing and the Thames runs red 

Is this enough to make your blood run cold? 

Cracked skin and sunken eyes demand a special hold 

Upon the angels coming judgement day 

Dead hounds and a triple-horned messiah 

Motion for redemption in the ripper's way 

Running faster than the sands of time, the lambs conspire 

To raise the omens of an unknown faith 

The devil's virtues overpowering the wrath of God 

And twist the blade upon the human race 

The wolf is loose and in this city it's a fatal flaw 

To see the beast under a funeral moon 

Can't shake the paranoia that the end is nigh 

When you're spoiling in a lousy tomb

Healing Through Fire 

Healing Through Fire 

Healing Through Fire 

Healing Through Fire 

Ghosts of the hounds start to rise in their packs 

Hunting the blood that they crave 

Like serpents that coil through the streets in the night 

You prey for your life to be saved 

Howling like banshees, so full of despair 

A death knell to all that they cross 

Diseased and deranged like the pit hounds of hell 

Devouring the flesh of the lost 

Photos 

Cursed are the wicked and blessed are the sick 

They see not the evil at hand 

Animals rising from ash covered tombs 

For vengeance upon every man 

Snarling with vehemence, they beckon the thaw 

Feeding on souls of the broke 

Ditches and churchyards will crawl with the rats 

That feed on their throats till they choke
