Heretic Lyrics
Avenged Sevenfold
As they search for blood,
All eyes descend on one.
Honest man in chains,
But that don't matter anyway.
My judgement day.
[Chorus:]
My flesh will feed the demon,
No trial, no case for reason.
I've been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
Turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to find,
Heretic blood.
Impose your will on me,
'Til fire sets me free.
The flames of hell burn bright,
My fate decided by their lies.
Final demise.
[Chorus]
Please don't leave me,
Please don't leave me like this.
I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down,
Please don't leave me.
[Chorus]
All eyes descend on one.
Honest man in chains,
But that don't matter anyway.
My judgement day.
[Chorus:]
My flesh will feed the demon,
No trial, no case for reason.
I've been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
Turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to find,
Heretic blood.
Impose your will on me,
'Til fire sets me free.
The flames of hell burn bright,
My fate decided by their lies.
Final demise.
[Chorus]
Please don't leave me,
Please don't leave me like this.
I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down,
Please don't leave me.
[Chorus]
