Velvet Tongue Lyrics

A thousand tears, a thousand eyes

 My friends and I, we cry

 Religion has raped us

 Forever we rehearse the song

 That strips our throats to blood

 We bare our souls in transparency

 But our velvet tongues will never please their ears

 But are you holding on?

 I'm holding on

 Look at us dying

 A field of human crucifixes, weathered and fading

 Heaven hears nothing as the priests are wailing

 And they're crushing our souls

 We feel our lives

 Sifting through our hands

 But we're holding on

 Look at my face

 Look at God in my eyes

 We stand
