Symphony X Lyrics
"Heretic"

The human infection
Soaring on winds of woe and pestilence
Remove imperfection
Parasites with lives of little consequence

Even though we know the sky is falling
Still we choose not to believe

On your knees...

Heretic, devil in disguise
Never quit, tearing down the walls, brick by brick
Feeding on the lies, Heretic
Counterfeits the kingdom you devise

The flesh breeds corruption
Eradicate the insect prey, exterminate
Crawl with the leeches, you cry
Shattered to pieces, you die
Here I stand, god of man, the perfect beast

Even though we know the sky is falling
Still we choose not to believe

On your knees...

Heretic, devil in disguise
Never quit, tearing down the walls, brick by brick
Feeding on the lies, Heretic
Counterfeits the kingdom you devise

Oh, burn!

Watch me burn, live and learn
As the night surrounds me
No escape, nowhere to hide

Feel the sting of severing
Become one with darkness
No escape, I'm dead inside,
(I'm dead inside, I'm dead inside, I'm dead inside)

Heretic, devil in disguise
Never quit, tearing down the walls brick by brick
Feeding on the lies, Heretic
Counterfeits the kingdom you devise
