Black Veil Brides – The Shattered God lyrics
[Verse:]
Failure and apathy descend
Success just hasn't been your friend
You live a lie high as the sky
This tastes like iron, blood, and greed
Tell us of what you'll never be
I won't ask why, just let it die
[Pre-Chorus:]
Sleeping tight in your insanity
The truth could remedy
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
[Verse 2:]
I've tried with every ounce of hell
To pry you open from your cell
Twisting the knife, regretting your life
Your eyes are empty like your bed
Somehow you haven't wound up dead
Chances pass by, you'll never fly
[Pre-Chorus:]
Singing hymns about the sins you see
But you'll never hear from me
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
[Bridge:]
Feel the embrace, all of the hate
I have watched you fall
Finding your words, sounding like silence
You've already said it all
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
Failure and apathy descend
Success just hasn't been your friend
You live a lie high as the sky
This tastes like iron, blood, and greed
Tell us of what you'll never be
I won't ask why, just let it die
[Pre-Chorus:]
Sleeping tight in your insanity
The truth could remedy
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
[Verse 2:]
I've tried with every ounce of hell
To pry you open from your cell
Twisting the knife, regretting your life
Your eyes are empty like your bed
Somehow you haven't wound up dead
Chances pass by, you'll never fly
[Pre-Chorus:]
Singing hymns about the sins you see
But you'll never hear from me
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
[Bridge:]
Feel the embrace, all of the hate
I have watched you fall
Finding your words, sounding like silence
You've already said it all
[Chorus:]
You stole it all, sold them your soul
Give it up, you are, you are forever alone!
Casting your stones, give it up
You are, you are the shattered God
