Holy Wolf

For your sins to be erased
The sacred path you must embrace
A thousand prayers won’t be enough
No matter what, we’ll be above

I’d never bled
Pure soul with a wound that would never heal
You eased your thirst, for your sake you made me kneel
Reveal my darkest side, it’s surreal, how to deal with it inside
Cold as steel, for real, God made a deal and I was tied
And they said: Light the way, follow them
Don’t be brave, just behave
But they never taught me how to recognize
The wolf among the lamb

White flags, black hearts
Leader of the pack who made me blind
Believe in what you don’t see
If I did what they said I’d feel him in me
But no one cared
Unseen, disguised, unknown
Disgraced, just left to weep
But I broke free
The strongest wolf was me

I have bloomed with roots in hell
Goddamned place that I called home
Holy words I cannot spell, you made me say
You made me pray
Drowning in my faith
I have bloomed with roots in hell
Goddamned place that I called home
Holy words I cannot spell, you made me say
You made me pray
Drowning in my faith

My child, do you embrace the lord?
My child, do you embrace the lord?
No, fuck
I’ve been a bad girl

For your sins to be erased
The sacred path you must embrace
A thousand prayers won’t be enough
No matter what, we’ll be above
For your sins to be erased
The sacred path you must embrace
A thousand prayers won’t be enough
We’ll fuck you up, bring you down
I have bloomed with roots in hell
Goddamned place that I called home
Holy words I cannot spell, you made me say
You made me pray
Drowning in my faith
I have bloomed with roots in hell
Goddamned place that I called home
Holy words I cannot spell, you made me say
You made me pray
Drowning in my faith
