Fire At The Priest
from Instincts by Antiskeptic
lyrics
AND SHE WAS SPITTING FIRE AT THE PRIEST AT THE TOP OF THE HILL
THERE’S A MAN BURNED ALIVE
AS THE CROWD STOOD STILL
ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO GO HOME
OH, ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO GO HOME
HEAVY STEPS AS THE CHURCH BELLS RING
WOULD IT TAKE BETTER MAN THAN HIM
AS THE CROWS CIRCLE HIGHER
AND CLOUDS GROWING DARKER
GLOVES IN PLACE SHE STEPS INTO THE RING
NO REFEREE TO CALL OFF THE BLUDGEONING
WITH THE BLOWS LANDING HARDER
AND THE CROWD GROWING LOUDER
A LIFETIME WAITING HOLDING HOPE AGAINST THE WIND
HOW COULD SHE EVER LIVE AND LOVE AGAIN?
PROWLING EYES BUT THE BEASTS FALL LEFT AND RIGHT
A BREATH OF LIFE THOUGH AND THEY WILL SURELY RISE
COUNTING DOWN NOW FOR THE BETTER DAYS TO COME
FOR THE PREACHERS AND LOVERS TO COLLIDE AS ONE
THERE’S A GIRL SPITTING FIRE FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL
THERE’S A MAN BURNED ALIVE AS THE CROWD STOOD STILL
THERE’S A CHILD ON THE STREET, COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL
BUT A BLIND MANS AIM ENDS HIS LIFE TOO SOON
THERE’S A MAN BURNED ALIVE
AS THE CROWD STOOD STILL
ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO GO HOME
OH, ALL SHE WANTED WAS TO GO HOME
HEAVY STEPS AS THE CHURCH BELLS RING
WOULD IT TAKE BETTER MAN THAN HIM
AS THE CROWS CIRCLE HIGHER
AND CLOUDS GROWING DARKER
GLOVES IN PLACE SHE STEPS INTO THE RING
NO REFEREE TO CALL OFF THE BLUDGEONING
WITH THE BLOWS LANDING HARDER
AND THE CROWD GROWING LOUDER
A LIFETIME WAITING HOLDING HOPE AGAINST THE WIND
HOW COULD SHE EVER LIVE AND LOVE AGAIN?
PROWLING EYES BUT THE BEASTS FALL LEFT AND RIGHT
A BREATH OF LIFE THOUGH AND THEY WILL SURELY RISE
COUNTING DOWN NOW FOR THE BETTER DAYS TO COME
FOR THE PREACHERS AND LOVERS TO COLLIDE AS ONE
THERE’S A GIRL SPITTING FIRE FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL
THERE’S A MAN BURNED ALIVE AS THE CROWD STOOD STILL
THERE’S A CHILD ON THE STREET, COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL
BUT A BLIND MANS AIM ENDS HIS LIFE TOO SOON
