The Shepherd

Stone the true believers
Belief just leads to violence
And I condemn this shear brutality
And they'll take what they're given
And swallow it like poison
Surrender to this new normality

You'll never be free

Why are you all so cold?
And why are all your eyes closed?
'Cause I can't fight this battle on my own
We steal the Sun
We worship the undone
(The world is in my arms)

Fall asleep and taste the endless freedom
While I weep for better days
All the sheep have fallen to the wolves
But the shepherd will never yield

Angels, without wings will fall
With starlight we must find our own direction
My halo, with its pure white glow
This burden may soon choose to defeat me
It'll beat me

My hatred, of this show
Is growing as the curtain disappears, it disappears

We steal the Sun
We worship the undone
(The world is in my arms)

Fall asleep and taste the endless freedom
While I weep for better days
All the sheep have fallen to the wolves
But the shepherd will never yield

I can see no tomorrow
I can feel no rebirth
Though we're drowning in sorrow
We believe the air is worse

Fall asleep and taste the endless freedom
While I weep for better days
All the sheep have fallen to the wolves
But the shepherd will never yield
