The Heretic (Woe Is Me) [FINAL]

art by aziebites

[The Huntress watches]

[Wolf howls]

Like mother, like daughter

The apple fell quite near

And while there's truth in the scars

A dire fable is writ in the stars

In the shroud of my ecstasy

I saw the vultures circling

"Aren't you lonely?" they whispered,

"You could use the company"

And it all just happened so fast

And I know I wasn't the last

It's a tale as old as time

But couldn't I have been stronger?

As the heretic

As the parasite

Strip me down

Down, down, to my sins

Every inch of pain

Is the half of it

Every hope is forged

In the din

Is it cashmere?

Or is it bankrupt?

Fuck

Is it all the same

In the dark?

At the brick house

Tear it all down

Break

Pull the curtains to the side

See the marks

[The music never stops]

Am I real? Can this be?

Oh lord, it won't make sense to me

I don't recognize her

Am I so free?

Am I worth the pity?

Could someone still love me?

And it comes in flashes

Echoes dulling in a white light

The apostate burial,

As the cavalcade proceeds,

The rites are spoken

A funeral for the ego

Well woe is me I can't deny

Selfish is the heart that shrouds my mind

Well woe is me my sinful life

Heretic concealed by light

As the heretic

As the parasite

Strip me down

Down, down, to my sins

Every inch of pain

Is the half of it

Every hope is forged

In the din

Is it cashmere?

Or is it bankrupt?

Fuck

Is it all the same

In the dark?

At the brick house

Tear it all down

Break

Pull the curtains to the side

See the marks
