Imperial Heretic

(album: Darker Still - 2022)

Watch out
What will it take to get it into your head
You want it
A street painted blood, a climate of dread
You want it
Yeah, you want it all

Fear, for the faithful
Fire, fuel the rage
Faith, in your profits
It's all
Hate from the pulpit
Acid in the rain
Blood on the altar
It's all
Fear, fire and faith

What will it take to clear the fog from your sight
You want it
The prism of profit warps the purest of mind
You want it
Oh, you want it all

Fear, for the faithful
Fire, fuel the rage
Faith, in your profits
It's all
Hate from the pulpit
Acid in the rain
Blood on the altar
It's all
Fear, fire and faith

It's all the same sad mantra
But I won't, I refuse, I refuse to
Repeat it
Imperial heretic

'Cause you want it all
You want it all

Fear, for the faithful
Fire, fuel the rage
Faith, in your profits
It's all
Hate from the pulpit
Acid in the rain
Blood on the altar
It's all
Fear, fire and faith
