Holy Coward

(album: The Fire Itself - 2021)

Shred

I've been biting my tongue till it bleeds
While you're building monuments of yourself to sell
Go ahead make sure they're with you when you're buried
So you can take it, take it with you to hell

Oh what a day it will be
When you're found a fraud
Call it like it is, a spade's a spade
They're not saints, and you're no god

Bury him deep
Or another dollar for the holy coward
Bury him deep
Or another lie they love the holy coward
Wash away the stain, wash away your hate
Where is your backbone holy coward
Wash away the stain, and erase the name
Where is your backbone holy coward

A mouth always open wide
Like a leaking sewer drain
A devil intent to divide
Family betrayed

He pulled your strings
And yet you still let him walk free
He thinks he's king until
We take him out back and throw him in a landfill

Wash away the shame
Remove the name from the headstone
Nothing but a stain
You are no god

Wash away the stain, and erase the name
Where is your backbone holy coward

Bury him deep
Or another dollar for the holy coward
Bury him deep
Or another lie they love the holy coward
Wash away the stain, wash away your hate
Where is your backbone holy coward
Wash away the stain, and erase the name
Where is your backbone holy coward
