Holy Roller Lyrics - Uriah Heep

I was born an only boy 

Away from palm of water 

Never heard of right or wrong 

I was given words to use 

But I knew I was different 

They wanted me to play along 

How much fear can I keep 

Locked away inside me 

Will all these words 

Disguise my pain 

When all your scriptures fell 

And leave us in the open 

I will survive and try again 

Here comes the holy roller 

Here comes the book of life 

Don't come knockin' round here 

'Cause you ain't no friend of mine 

Here comes the ghost of holy 

He comes to twist your mind 

Don't come knockin' round here 

'Cause you ain't no friend 

Ain't no friend of mine 

What is the price that you've put 

On your own salvation 

Count the costs for savin' souls 

Where is the sense in all this 

Door-to-door damantion 

When you're just left out in the cold
