The Dayveil - Heretic's Hymn Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sacred halls echo with my steps tonight
Father's prayers fade as I take flight
Mama said "Keep your faith held tight"
But these chains just don't feel right
Been living in shadows of stained glass
Time to break free from this holy mask

[Pre-Chorus]
They say I'm lost, say I'm going astray
But baby, this path is the only way
Got demons and angels in my head
Fighting over every word that's said

[Chorus]
I'm a heretic dancing in the dark
Got heaven and hell leaving their mark
Breaking every rule they wrote in stone
This sacred profanity's all my own
All my own

[Verse 2]
Incense burning, but I can't breathe
These ancient walls are suffocating me
Papa's lying in his hospital bed
"Son, stay faithful," was all he said
But these melodies running through my veins
Worth more than any holy refrains

[Pre-Chorus]
They want me praying on my knees
While I'm making love to these melodies
Got the devil's rhythm in my soul
Angel's voice making me whole

[Chorus]
I'm a heretic dancing in the dark
Got heaven and hell leaving their mark
Breaking every rule they wrote in stone
This sacred profanity's all my own
All my own

[Bridge]
Mama, forgive me for what I've become
But silence would leave me numb
Between the verses of their holy book
Found the freedom that they forsook

[Outro]
Call me sinner, call me saint
This is art that I can't paint
Over with your golden rules
Love me or leave me, ain't playing the fool
This sacred profanity's all my own
All my own
