Newer Testament (Single)

lyrics

Verse 1:
I’ve come to write a newer testament
one of blood and sweat and ligament
An heretical text
With which we'll schism all sects
... writ in the blood of the king

You are the heart, the heart of steel
There is no cut, no cut more real
With flesh stronger than the bone
No blade will find a humbler home
... Than within the chest of the king

Chorus 1:
And in that chest we’ll find nothing
No heart to hold hope
And in the head of the king
No we will not find anything

Might as well be made of straw
But just below, in his jaw
We’ll find hatred of all things
So we must kill all kings

V2:
Do what you can to keep your health
Do what you can for yourself
But sometimes sick feels right
When you’re sick most your life
... In plain sight of the king

Prepare to cut your own heart out
Nothing less is tantamount
And if that isn’t gonna fly
Then you’re gonna need another guy
... to take down the king of kings

C2:
And in his hands we find no love
Yet when we look we look above
Not one thing to be proud of
So we must give a hardy shove

Look inside of your own heart
Take a knife and cut the strings
Freedom like we’ve never known
When we have killed all kings
