When Halos Burn Lyrics


Grand majesty in full control

A perfect plan for us all

A balance kept throughout all time

Burning through every soul divine

Willing souls serve up to you

And the sainted ones will feast

In service to their gilded gods

Whose thrones they seek to reach

Take of the body, take of the blood

These sacraments of your lord

Focus on your flaws and shame

Intimidate, terrorize for gain

Crippled minds to warp and bend

To eternal fire the heretics we'll send

Hark, your hateful angels sing

Of pain, death and suffering

Awaiting signs of your sanctity

Forever pray on broken knees

Fed your bread, served your wine

These sacraments spit out in vain

In the darkened rays of your holy light

Scorching us all as your touch ignites

We pray, we fight, we die

We hold your sacred sigils high

Upon our backs your cross we bear

Upon your heads these halos burn

In the darkened rays of your holy light

Scorching us all as your touch ignites

Oh, sainted ones, oh, blessed sons

Cast down in flame when halos burn
