Religious Man by Redeemers Lyrics
"I stand in disgrace; I'm tied to the stake
I'm watching the end of a lifetime of faith
And, it's not the sword that beheads me, I fear… no
It's when I stand before the throne of my lord."
Narrator:
Long ago, many years away, and for eons to come
Will tell a tale of the struggle of man
The timeless war between sin and virtue
Good and evil, light and the darkness
Angel:
Evilness won't shine
Unless you cross the line
Narrator:
Merchant brothers have asked to leave their sister in the hands of that man for he was renowned as the most trustworthy
Angel:
Entrusted with her life
He agreed upon her stay
Narrator:
Three days have passed; and, his starvation for this maiden has grown inside. The bringer of chaos now knocks on his door, and, makes his entrance of mischief
Angel:
Would his will give in
Before the power of sin!
Narrator:
Hesitantly, he decided to watch the maiden from afar
Angel:
Demons haunted his mind
As the guilty conscience died
The virtues upon him call:
"Have Mercy... don't you fall"
Narrator:
The fight, the choice between wrong and right
The war is about to start
Devil:
"Disarm; a touch won't do any harm
Feel her velvet skin in your arms."
Good conscience:
"Have you forgotten the reason behind
Your life on this earth till the end of the time?
Seek your truth inside
Don't you drift aside
From the path of the maker, it is sanctified."
Narrator:
The lust, now a monster cruel, unjust
Inscribe his name in dust
Devil:
"Feed your ravened core
Devour her body for your pleasure
Haha… I win."
Good Conscience:
"You claim to be truthful; you're far from that name
What deception has lived dressed in virtuous fame
Now you're chained by desire, and soon to be framed
Pay heed, for your sins only end in hells flame."
Good Conscience:
"I pity your rue, but your time is up
For I have given you more than one chance to stop
Now, that you are awakened, with tears of repentance
Pray GOD and his justice, have mercy on you."
An Execution Witness:
"Frozen by guilt, blood is spilled on your arm, she lies
From livid eyes, you can't hide, condemned."
Religious man:
"Now I must pay the price"
I'm watching the end of a lifetime of faith
And, it's not the sword that beheads me, I fear… no
It's when I stand before the throne of my lord."
