"Taken By Flames" lyrics - EXHORDER

Ready to face the odds
I'm in better company
Failure to break the curse
I was told, "You're never going to be someone, ha"
Look at me now
Outside, the cold screams, "Make your fires!"

And I was told
"Time to carry the load"
While in a state of shock
Crashed and burned, preachers, leeches at every turn
Save the flock
Save them from their lives
When did you learn? How old were you when you found
Found the truth was a ruse?
And the ruse was a goddamn lie?
It keeps me up in arms

Where is your soul?
It might be inside of the prophet's cloak
Crying, burning up

And now the writ has come
Mobs on the street who want blood
Taken by flames, rattling their cages

Forsaken
No family or friends
Just a game of luck
Lost your turn, where's your horseshoe?
Mobs on the street
Playing for keeps
Making them pay, pleased to meet you, you're done
'Cause the truth was a ruse
And the ruse was a goddamn lie
It keeps me up in arms

Where is your soul?
It might be inside of the prophet's cloak
Crying, burning up

And now your kids are stoned
Poisoning each of their souls
Laugh in your face, and kill you for your wages
And now the writ has come
Mobs on the street who want blood
Taken by flames, rattling their cages

And now your kids are stoned
Poisoning each of their souls
Laugh in your face, and kill you for your wages
And now the writ has come
Mobs on the street who want blood
Taken by flames, rattling their cages
