Strange Gods - To a Fault Lyrics

Self righteous saints are shouting
They claim to know
The frightened cries of the lowly
Have gone unheard
Their silence built the guilty
With a deathless drone
Their vicious hands, unholy
Wrapped around the throat

Keep that devil off your shoulder
Never out of sight
Silence built the guilty
With a deathless drone

Nothing lives where nothing grows
This hollow earth can't be my home
Heaven waits to call me on
But the devil's grip won't let me go

I'll keep hanging on... to a fault

Wait wait wait
I won't stand that way
I won't be here waiting
I won't go that way

With that devil on your shoulder
The fire gleaning in your eyes
Bury every hope, descending
Empty and alone

Nothing lives where nothing grows
This hollow earth can't be my home
Heaven waits to call me on
But the devil's grip won't let me go

I'll keep hanging on... to a fault

Wait wait wait
I won't stand that way
I won't be here waiting
I won't go that way
