[Verse 1]
When desolation is king
Breathe for the souls that are dead
And to the gods they will sing
Watch as the rivers turn red
They’re going nowhere
What will tomorrow bring?
And with a short prayer
Disregard everything
When the temptation is strong
Fools stand in line to be lost
They don’t know where they belong
And don’t know when they’ve been crossed
Rise every morning
And just like anyone
So close to falling
Maybe they’ll come undone
Scrawled in dust
Words you trust
[Chorus]
O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you’d be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There’s nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became
[Verse 2]
Yeah, a destroyer of dreams
Hurt won’t get carried away
And just like broken machines
There’s nothing left to betray
Walk through the sweet fire
When there’s no need to run
Scream at the white choir
Hide from the midnight sun
Some are blessed
Some possessed
[Chorus]
O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you’d be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There’s nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became
[Verse 3]
A thousand goodbyes
Are lost in the wind
A mother will cry
And all street lights dimmed
No sweet music plays
But still they will dance
And there’ll be no flowers
For this deadly romance
[Chorus]
O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you’d be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There’s nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became
O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you’d be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There’s nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became
