Hollow Be Thy Name Lyrics

[Intro:]

Guilty in blasphemy, well let me burn in hell

You know my story, I've fallen from glory

I am a priest with a riot in my heart

The words of heaven makes me furious

Where's my glory, where's my pride, where is my reward

In vain I fought the holy fight, but I never saw the light

God in heaven, I never felt your grace

Divine and empty promises, I feel I've been betrayed

I feel I've been betrayed

I've always been a faithful man, a guardian of the light

I called your name in my despair, but you never heard my prayers

Why must I bear the cross you gave

You say you really died for me, should I die for thee

Should I die for thee

[Bridge 1:]

And through the shadow-world I roam

Living in these ruins of my home

[Chorus:]

I am the lord of the shadow-world

I sacrificed my faith at the altar

I swore revenge with unholy vowes

The heavens shall fall, the angels will bleed to death

[Chorus]

I preach the word of your love, a hypocrite I amPhoenix Rizing - Hollow Be Thy Name - http://motolyrics.com/phoenix-rizing/hollow-be-thy-name-lyrics.html

Behind my mask of holiness you'll find an empty man

Deep inside me the hate is burning strong

In the church, late at night, I do what is right for me

I do what is right for me

All my deeds and all my sins, I never will repent

Now I belong to the shadow-world and my faith is at the end

When I die I'll never go to rest

I curse my spirit to this church, I'll never leave this earth

I'll never leave this earth

[Bridge 2:]

And from my death I will return

The afterlife could never hold me

[Chorus x2]

[Whispered:] This true test of faith. When love turns to hate

This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal

When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am

This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal

When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am

This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal

When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am

[Chorus x2]

[Chorus in background:]

This true test of faith, this cross I bear a curse eternal

When love turns to hate hollow be thy name, messiah in black I am
