Parkway Drive – I Hope You Rot lyrics

[Intro]
From crooked faith, the darkness flows
From hallowed halls, through broken homes
To prey upon the weakest lamb
The cruellest heart is truly man

[Verse 1]
And when the judgment came, they told us: "Turn away"
As their laughter whipped the halls like cracking bones
Small words and hollow gestures, the rats are closing ranks
They paint themselves as angels, oh, so wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Libera nos, libera nos
Deliver us from the blackest of mass
Libera nos, libera nos
Deliver us justice for the lost

[Chorus]
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found
There are no halos to be found
So save your breath

[Verse 2]
Nothing here is sacred, nothing is divine
If heaven's gates are open, then I think I'll wait in line
Nothing here is holy when every faith is blind
So save your breath, I don't need more excuses

[Pre-Chorus]
Libera nos, libera nos
Deliver us from the blackest of mass
Libera nos, libera nos
Deliver us justice for the lost
But it's a shallow fall, it's a shallow fall

[Chorus]
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found

[Bridge]
I'll never see through the eyes of your lord
But I have seen through the eyes of a child
I'll never see through the eyes of your lord
But I have seen through the eyes of a child
I hope you rot

[Chorus]
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down, I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found

[Outro]
From crooked faith, the darkness flows
From hallowed halls, through broken homes
To prey upon the weakest lamb
The cruellest heart is truly man
