Heretics & Killers Lyrics - Kezia - Protest The Hero

They called me the man with the blood of Christ honesty 

But tonight I drink with heathens and the finest of our blasphemies 

In wine there's truth but in silence there's surrender 

A screaming for the silence in stunned suspicious terror 

Built a temple in my life and used God to seal the pillars 

After twenty years of fighting young heretics and killers 

I watch my temple fall to pieces at the first signs of oncoming weather 

Fell to my knees just like Jesus in the cave, knew I would die 

But my lips could only; I am not your son, so why have you forsaken me? 

There's a hole in my heart but it just makes me unholy 

Crucified that night and walked away with alter-egos 

Like the prison priest who preached his dead and buried gospel 

While my faith is in ruins my duty breathes strong 

I'm a parrot in a cage saying prayers to belong to a textbook 

Of my crying, lying, dying history; a time so full of life that I was anything but me
