Zeal & Ardor ~ Zeal & Ardor lyrics

 ~ 
Bow
[Verse 1]
Black cats showing up out of nowhere
Macbeth on heavy rotation
Hope dies at last and we don't care
A young girl screams death to the nation
A Greek god on the back of a stallion
Coming up on a three-lane highway
Prepare for the death of a billion
Wake up at the end of my day

[Refrain 1]
Wake up at the end of my day


[Verse 2]
Last stand in a shade of vermilion
Lips sealed and trembling irate
Prepare for the death of a billion
Wake up at the end of my day
Don't cry for the weak and neglected
Go blind in the cage we erected
Stand tall with the rage of a storm now
Kill hope for the age 'cause we know how

[Refrain 2]
Cower in shame
Cower in shame
Come on now
Who gonna weep for the dead?
Cower in shame
Come on now
Who gonna weep for the dead?

[Outro]
Bow down to the American way
Bow down to the American way
Bow down to the American way
Bow down to the American way



Golden Liar
Golden Liar
If luck follows the wicked
, I'm a lucky man
If hope is for the true, then I'm hopeless, my friend

If I'm a sole survivor, I will be dead tomorrow
(Yeah)
'Cause I'm a golden liar
, I give you smoke and fire
(Yeah)

If love is for the big one, I'm a tiny man
If light is for the brave, I'm in darkness, my friend
If freedom gives you company, I'm a lonely man
Is this what you call honesty, 'cause I'm lying, my friend

I am the golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
'Cause if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
(That's right)

I've waited thirteen years
Just to be standing here
(Come on)
(It's gonna be over soon)

'Cause I'm a golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
(Standing there)
And if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
(Any minute now)
(He's the only one, come close)

Thirteen years I've been waiting here
I feel my life is over
Got no will to live
Steady now, steady now

I am the golden liar, I give you smoke and fire
Yeah, yeah
'Cause if you hold me tighter, I'll give you both and neither
Standing there



Feed the Machine
 
Feed the machine (Feed the machine)
All that it needs (All that it needs)
Better feed the machine (Feed the machine)
All that it needs

Et bellator halli rha
Bellator halli rha

Feed the machine
All that it needs
Feed the machine
All that it needs
Bellator halli rha

We brought you people, the fruit and the seed
Every little letter that was written in defeat
You better feed the machine
All that it needs
Better feed the machine
All that it needs

Bellator halli rha
Bellator halli rha

Oriens (oriens)
Valefar
Astaroth
Bеlzebub
Paimon (paimon)
Sitri (sitri)
Amaimon (amaimon)
Belzebub (bеlzebub)

Feed the machine (Feed the machine)
All that it needs (All that it needs)
You better feed the machine (Feed the machine)
All that it needs



Church Burns 

Set a house on fire in my home town
Who dares to come and get me
Gonna lay low 'cause the house burnt now
Who else could burn it but me?

There ain't nothing left where it used to stand
(Nothing left where it used to stand)
Crawled in the window and cut my hand
(Cut my hand)
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light
(Bask in the light)
Step outside in the middle of the night

And the church burn
And the church burn

God will frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless

Met a man I killed in the morning
Who else could kill him but me?
The man dead, but came back as a warning
Who dares to kill him but me?

There ain't nothing left where it used to stand
(Nothing left where it used to stand)
Crawled in the window and cut my hand
(Cut my hand)
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light
(Bask in the light)
Step outside in the middle of the night

And the church burn
And the church burn

God will frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless

There ain't nothing left where it used to stand
Crawled in the window and cut my hand
Set fire to the pews and I bask in the light
Step outside in the middle of the night

God shall frown upon me
(God shall frown upon me)
Ardor and the only
(Ardor and the only)
Martyr that is lone the
(Martyr that is lone the)
Starter of the boneless
(Starter of the boneless)

Same sign as before
Nothing's gonna be anymore
And the church burn
Whatever be the cost
Got the feeling that I must
Bring that flame to the cross
Bring that flame to the cross

And the church burn

God shall frown upon me
Ardor and the only
Martyr that is lone the
Starter of the boneless





Hold Your Head Low 

I see shadows and shapes
In the light of the flames
They all congregate
But remain the same

Kept in the corner
The liar emerges
We all have sworn her
The last of our kin

These hands will find their place
Once more


Hold your head low

Hold on man it's gonna be a goner
Hold on man it's gonna be a raid

Don't make me choke
Don't cover your eyes
We're all battered and broke
And we rest to surmise

But kept in the corner
The liar emerges
We all have sworn her
To be the last of our kin

These eyes will find their home
Once more

Hold your head low

Hold on man it's gonna be a goner
(Hold it's gonna be a goner)
Hold on man it's gonna be a raid
(Hold it's gonna be a raid)

Hold your head low
Shame on you fool
Hold your head low
Shame on you fool (you fool)
Hold your (hold your) head low (head low)
Shame on (shame on) you fool (you fool)
Hold your (hold your) head low (head low)
Shame on (shame on) you fool
