The Heretic’s Promise

[ intro:Starts with massive line bass guita riff,echoing drums,guitars kick in with monolithic riff]:

[ verse: vocals are slow menacing almost spoken word snarl,stretching out the last word of every line]:

The angry crowd…..marching down…the cobblestones….

In the deepest shadows….where I sit…. Awaiting all alone…

The cross is raised…..the executioner grins…..

And locks his sight….

They think they’re divinity,..

Will blind me in their holy light

They call it HERESY !…

But I call it TRUTH !…

To abide by their laws…

….

Eye for an eye……

…

Tooth for a tooth….

But I still stand…I draw the line…deep in the stone…

But they’ll never bend…a will…that I claim… as my own

[ music break: the hook: a massive, monolithic,groovy riff

[ pre chorus:super groovy psychedelic guitar riff, fast double bass drums ]:

The gallows wait…..[heavy groovy guitar chug]:

The wood piled high….[heavy groovy guitar chug]:

The gathered snakes…. [heavy , groovy guitar chug]:

To watch me die…. [heavy, groovy guitar chug]:

Black smoke is rising…to choke the air…

So go ahead and strike the match…

I DON’T FUCKING CARE !

[ chorus: super heavy guitar , swing and deeply rhythmic]:

This is the heretic’s promise !

Raised the flag of the damned !

Born apart… outside the promised land

You can break my bones…you can twist the wire

But you can’t kill my fortitude … so spark the fire

SPARK THE FIRE !

THE HERETIC’S PROMISE !

[ verse]:

The Grand inquisitor …. Is reading… the final decree

Eyes dripping venom…looking down… down on me

“ repent thy sins.. and bow down,,, your ungodly head”

I spat in his face..I’d rather burn…and lie here dead…

They gripped my arms… the dragged me out… into the public square …

The pious hypocrites…all line up…to laugh and stare…

[ bridge/ breakdown: slows even more,pitch black smothering sludge riff]:

The day is freezing…the chains…are binding tight…

Even in death…. I will bring the fight..

Under the hood….

Under the mask…

Hurry up… finish the task…

Tie me to the stake…flames ignite…

I scream so loud…to shake the night…

No….. peace !

No….grace !

Feel the hatred…

The last look

on my dying face..

BURN….IT….DOWN !

[ guitar solo: mister brutal slow guitar chug fading in to a blistering speed metal lead guitar solo]:

[ pre chorus]:

The gallows wait…[ heavy , groovy guitar chug]:

The wood piled high…[heavy, groovy guitar chug]:

The gathered snake…[ heavy , groovy guitar chug]:

To watch me die…[ heavy, groovy guitar chug]:

Black smoke is rising…. To choke the air

So go ahead and strike the match…

I DON’T FUCKING CARE !

[ chorus]:

This is the heretic’s promise !

Raised the flag of the damned

Born apart… outside the promised land

You can break my bones… you can twist the wire

You can’t kill my fortitude… so spark the fire

SPARK THE FIRE !

THE HERETIC’ S PROMISE !

Smoke…. Fills the air

Watch… the heretic flies

So sing this anthem loud

To the screaming crowd

CHOKE !……

ON !…….

THE !……

ASH !…..

THE HERETIC’S PROMISE !
