Debts To Pay

(专辑： JT XIX - 2020)

I'm not a righteous man
I'm not a holy man
But I'll be damned
If that damnation leads my lamb astray

I reckon heaven ain't no place for angels anymore
Hang up your worn out halo, spread your withered wings and soar
Just fake a leap of faith, forget how far from grace you've fallen
Come find familiar faces down below among the Sodom
In fact I've found that looking down's an act you may regret
Unless the thought of falling to your death don't phase you yet
You're gambling on your lady luck, already placed your bet
That when you find that special girl, then you may wipe away your debt
The false shepherd's stepping onto our land
Looking to stop her from drowning in flame the mountains of man
Instead I bet she'll get it done with holy water
And by the end I know she'll cleanse her filthy rotten father
But even if one door closes, I know an infinite open
The great chain ain't even made yet and it's already been broken
If you step through a tear I hope that you know where you're going
Cuz you just unlocked the cage, upon the Songbird's wings you're soaring
Beware the foreign hordes, everyone check your class
You were born to solely pay the role with which you have been caste
Is that an inner monologue in your head
You're only chasing your tail, soon you're gonna see yourself dead

When you play dirty, you'll never win
So just hold your breath, I'll hold your head and wash off your sins

Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out and bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you're sure afraid of
Break the circle cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and pray

Now watch your Eden become home to demons after all
Cuz grace is nothing but a place from which we're meant to fall
So take a taste of your forbidden fruit, embrace yourself
Now welcome home, I've made your sacred heaven into hell

If thine alignment is with Vox Populi, pity
Upon thy soul, thou demon devil in our white city!
I should know for with the high divines, I'm privy
Hold your bible tight, without the good book, I might outwit thee
Are you salty, jealous of my vigor?
I've an army, I need not to touch my finger to a trigger
You curse our fertile earth, holy and hallowed it may be
I don't mean to open old wounds, so how's an arrow to the knee

I'm playing dirty but I can't win
So I'll hold my breath, you hold my head and wash off my sins

Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out and bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you're sure afraid of
Break the circle cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and pray

Oh father, you've sewed your seeds, the land, you've tilled
If you could see la vie en rose, my looks could kill
While time is flying by I'm standing still
I'd ask you to dance but I know you will

Break the circle, shake off your chains
Like a thundercloud, knock the sun right out and bring down the rain
You may not be scared to meet your maker
But this girl you're sure afraid of
Break the circle cuz you got debts to pay
So hold your breath and pray
