lyrics

Angels And Evils

There are bad kids
there are bad priests
there are angels and evils
and savage beasts
there are sickness cells
there are demon tones
Funeral plots
and wish bones

There's a devil here
through history
trying to get it's hooks in me
Doesn't need to beg
Doesn't need to plead
It's a kick back
and he plants his seeds

Torn up and seeing things
Jesus face in spikes and buckles
Shadows of his skull on my wall
Frame it all...light it up
A broken jaw and bloody knuckles
shadows hide, shadows fall

Sacred vines
bend to get away
Fathers kill
and mothers pray
Soon we're tangled
A web evil spun
Jesus look
at what the devil's done

Poison apples
toxic roots
Bury me
in my wedding suit
Don't sew the holes
Leave the dirt
Have a drink for me
Cause death could hurt

Torn up and seeing things
Jesus face in spikes and buckles
Shadows of his skull on my wall
Frame it all...or box it up
A broken jaw and bloody knuckles
Shadows hide, shadows fall

There are bad kids
there are bad priests
there are angels and savage beasts
there are sickness cells
there are demon tones
Funeral plots
and wish bones
