The Deeds We Do by Beelzebuds Lyrics
It's just a mercy
Absolution for the price
Of a scapegoat
Imaginary sacrifice
Laid on the altar
The blackened idol that we built
Yeah we built it
From piles of our own guilt
Rewards and tortures
Instead of right and wrong
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
Get thee behind me
I won't share credit for my work
All the dark impulses
I've been nurturing from birth
And all the glory
For the shameful things I do
Let it rain down on me
There’s not blame enough for you
Who needs temptations
When we can damn ourselves
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
Absolution for the price
Of a scapegoat
Imaginary sacrifice
Laid on the altar
The blackened idol that we built
Yeah we built it
From piles of our own guilt
Rewards and tortures
Instead of right and wrong
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
Get thee behind me
I won't share credit for my work
All the dark impulses
I've been nurturing from birth
And all the glory
For the shameful things I do
Let it rain down on me
There’s not blame enough for you
Who needs temptations
When we can damn ourselves
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
Who are we?
We’re the sins that we commit
We are machines making things that god forbids
The deeds we do no devil ever did
