lyrics

in this body
before this body
all your hands are stained with blood

you who wish
to see us dead
such iniquitous design

hang me from the tyburn tree

among the gallows
you see me sway
a prime example
of moral decay

among your subjects
in hatred's sway
a shining beacon
of misplaced faith

take that rope and tie my noose
take that rope and tie my noose

in this body
before this body
who are you to be my judge?

you who wish
to see us dead
silence is complicity

hang me from the tyburn tree

among the gallows
you see me sway
a prime example
of moral decay

among your subjects
in hatred's sway
a shining beacon
of misplaced faith

take that rope and tie my noose
take that rope and tie my noose

heat from fire
and fire from heat
in the face of your oppression

i bear witness
and i have bled
in the name of my conviction

power concedes nothing

heat from fire
and fire from heat
you believe i am a demon

power concedes nothing

i am death
and i am legion
we are many here as one

i have lain
upon the altar
as the sacrificial lamb

what are you willing to lose?
what is this but genocide?

you have sinned
and you have lied
your coffers brim
with the blood of those who died

and you have drunk
from poisoned streams
your chalice filled
with the blood of the diseased

yet here you stand
to guide your flock
and on they march
along the bosque

and from your cup
they drink so deep
and never ask
for why you weep

you will fall from
heaven's heights
claiming that you've
seen such sights

but we know
you are blind
neither cleansed
nor divine

you shall drown in
a lake of fire
carried by your
acolytes

but we know
you are blind
neither cleansed
nor divine

searing flesh
melting eyes
boiling blood
sweet demise

in this body
before this body
in this body
before this body

how much blood is on your hands?
you who wear the stolen crown
never shall your tower stand
brick by brick, we'll tear it down
