#270: Mark Of A Saint - To Bow or To Burn

Mark Of A Saint

To Bow or To Burn

Genre: Death Metal

To Bow or To Burn on: Facebook MySpace

Deception holds no boundaries.
They bear the mark of a saint.
Surrounded by the filth of this world, our throats become empty graves.
a contaminant plague.
Unleash false theories of faith.
A faith you never chased.
Be warned....deception holds no boundaries.
They bear the mark of a saint.
Self served pretenses grow beneath rotting flesh.
your heart still dies within your chest.

Who are you to proclaim a love you hate?
Who are you to bear the mark of a saint?
I will call you by name....coward.
You and hell embrace....coward.

You war against what you have not become,
Posing with fake standards.
Hide behind your walls of judgment.
Cast stones against battered bodies.
Our light will silence your lies.
Our truth will break teeth in your mouth.

You will never know the love of my faith.
Who are you to proclaim a love you hate?

Who are you to bear the mark of a saint?
You will never know the love of my faith.

You and hell embrace.

The Introduction:

This is the end.

My God, what am I here for

if its not to live for you

and why do we live

to burn ourselves

My God, what am I here for

if its not to live for you

and why do we live

to burn ourselves

Why do we live

to just burn ourselves?

The Book of Life:

(ft. vocals by Darrell Tauro of Wrench in the Works)

Inking your name with my blood
so you can overcome, this life
and run home, to your home away from home
but a place you know, that makes you whole
so listen close
I decide where you go, tell me
why should I write your name on this page
what did you do for my name sake

(kill you with love)
I’ll watched you die bloody
(kill you with love)
in restoration
(kill you with love)
then put the fear into
(kill you with love)
your creation
(kill you with love)
unto the Lord's glory
(kill you with love)
it's Revelation

He is the only, He is the only
One I love
He is the only, He is the only
Fear I have

He is the only, He is the only
One I love
He is the only, He is the only
Fear I have

And I'm standing here watching you shake
trembling
So now tell me what are you so afraid of
nothing but one
with the Holy ghost
dwelling within you
your second life remains
nothing can hurt you

But just in this world
you will die but once
but after the body’s dead
then nothing
Nothing

Inking your name with my blood
so you can overcome, this life
and run home, to your home away from home
but a place you know, that makes you whole
so come on home

Mouth of the South on: Facebook MySpace

I can't define myself, I've got a lot of baggage with me.

I've worn so many masks, I can't recognize my face.

What do you see in me? Why waste your time on something unclean?

What do you see in me? Why waste your time on something unclean?

I've forsaken my vows, I am a harlot,

but your hands are still reaching for me.

You've unlocked my chains, but I refuse to leave this cell.

I remain in these shackles, surely this is my hell.

I am diseased, I am filthy.

I step into glory but the shadows never leave the back of my mind.

Your eyes see right through me, only you can know my heart.

Tell me, do I still have a pulse? Or is it too weak to hold a spark?

Surely there is someone else who deserves a king like you.

I'm far too unfaithful to be pursued.

I've heard you calling me so many times before.

Why waste your breath on such a filthy whore?

"My son, my son!" You keep calling out my name.

"My son, my son!" You keep screaming at me...

"I'm not going anywhere!

Run to my arms I'll set you free.

Your chains are gone so run to me.

Run to my arms, you've been set free."

Fingernails, Fingernails
Dig your grave!
My fingernails are digging into a shallow grave.
A shovel in my hand, a shovel in my hand.
What did I do to ask for this?
You said you'd be there,
look at me now.
Help me see the light of day again.
Help me see the light of day again.
Help me see the light of day again.
The door is cracked we're coming through.
The door is cracked we’re coming through.
