The Executioner

Lyrics

[Intro] [?] [Verse 1] I never was the picture of a model son A crooked criminal they caught holding the gun It got so hard to see the truth from all the lies Slowly becoming more and more what I despise I never should've left my foot inside the door (Inside the door) Never content and always craving something more (Something more) I feel the darkness closing in on every side It's time for something deep inside of me to die [Pre-Chorus] The executioner puts the cross upon my back (Cross upon my back) How beautiful, the breath that is my last [Chorus] Start praying over me last rites I'm giving up the ghost inside I'm hanging on the nails I drive This cross is where I come to die And I've waited so long This is the hill I'll die on Start praying over me last rites This cross is where I come to die [Post-Chorus] [?] [Verse 2] You're not allowed to see the cards against my chest I never trust nobody with my wretchedness (With my wretchedness) So I sit and try to fight this fight alone (Fight alone) I fake allegiance, can't decide which side I'm on So I scream, beat my head against the wall Forget the walk, can't even crawl I abuse the wounds that grace healed You say you love me but it's hard to love myself [Pre-Chorus] The executioner puts the cross upon my back (Cross upon my back) How beautiful, the breath that is my last [Chorus] Start praying over me last rites I'm giving up the ghost inside I'm hanging on the nails I drive This cross is where I come to die And I've waited so long This is the hill I'll die on Start praying over me last rites This cross is where I come to die [Post-Chorus] [?] [Breakdown] Let the hammer swing down I've made my peace Said my goodbyes There's no eulogies When this convict dies [Bridge] My beautiful executioner My beautiful executioner I've made my peace Said my goodbyes There's no eulogies When this convict dies I've made my peace Said my goodbyes There's no eulogies [Chorus] Start praying over me last rites I'm giving up the ghost inside I'm hanging on the nails I drive This cross is where I come to die And I've waited so long This is the hill I'll die on Start praying over me last rites This cross is where I come to die [Outro] Let the hammer swing down I've made my peace Said my goodbyes There's no eulogies This cross is where I come to die
