whiskey & lead - when faith betrays the soul lyrics

Loading...

verse 1
he rode alone at dawn, a conscience like a chain
heard an angel’s whisper preaching mercy in the rain
spurs rang hope on iron rails, a hymn in every stride
he swore he’d chase the darkness back to shadows where it hides

verse 2
but deeper in his skull, a demon laughed, a serpent’s bitter hiss
urged him to trade compassion for the cold embrace of this
he raised his hand in prayer each night beneath the starless dawn
yet every plea gave darkness weight and loosened holy loam

chorus
when faith betrays the soul, the righteous flame turns black
good intentions bleed to rust and there’s no turning back
he chased the dawn but found the night and lost his way up high
when faith betrays the soul, the angel starts to lie

verse 3
he broke the preacher’s promise, smashed the chalice on the stone
replaced salvation’s gospel with a creed he called his own
his steed grew restless beneath him, snorting thunder in the dust
as he carved a path of vengeance crowned in iron and mistrust

bridge
god spoke to guide me, but the words grew knives
mercy swore to save me, but it buried me alive
chorus
when faith betrays the soul, the righteous flame turns black
good intentions bleed to rust and there’s no turning back
he rode to free his spirit but found a darker prize
when faith betrays the soul, the good man slowly dies

outro
his prayer still haunts the midnight wind
where faith once soared, evil glimpsed
