Burn the Virgin Lyrics
They heard the virgins weeping.
Down to town square we go.
There they'll be cleansed by fire.
I know you’re yearning to burn the virgin.
Let's bring the morals back to,
back to the town we know.
Nothing is ever sacred.
My final warning to you I will sing.
I've got the time to die.
I've lost my faith in you.
These city lights show me what’s true.
And it's time for you and I to die.
This city’s eating us alive.
And we're running from the start,
we the black of heart.
Running from what we can’t change.
Abandon the empire and sound the bell.
Bring on hellfire, might as well.
I’ll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me.
Whores stole the morals, laughing.
Into the ground they'll go.
And I shall be the cleansing.
Taste her sickness. Yeah I get this.
And I want you purest virgins.
You know they need me, too.
Cause it's been hard to resist.
The father of lies will die tonight.
And it's time for you and I to die.
This city’s eating us alive.
This shithouse is going up in flames,
and I’ll never be the same.
And we're running from the start,
we the black of heart.
Running from what we can’t change.
Abandon the empire and sound the bell.
Bring on hellfire, might as well.
I’ll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me.
And when we sleep, we're all so weak
because we can't shake the sadness, it seeps.
Put on our mask, we’ll fake it past.
But you'll never wash my heart away.
And we're running from the start,
we the black of heart.
Running from what we can’t change.
Abandon the empire and sound the bell.
Bring on hellfire, might as well.
I’ll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me.
And we’re running,
running from what we can’t change.
And we’re running
Whoa, whoa
Running, running, running…
Down to town square we go.
There they'll be cleansed by fire.
I know you’re yearning to burn the virgin.
Let's bring the morals back to,
back to the town we know.
Nothing is ever sacred.
My final warning to you I will sing.
I've lost my faith in you.
These city lights show me what’s true.
And it's time for you and I to die.
This city’s eating us alive.
we the black of heart.
Running from what we can’t change.
Abandon the empire and sound the bell.
Bring on hellfire, might as well.
I’ll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me.
Into the ground they'll go.
And I shall be the cleansing.
Taste her sickness. Yeah I get this.
And I want you purest virgins.
You know they need me, too.
Cause it's been hard to resist.
The father of lies will die tonight.
This city’s eating us alive.
This shithouse is going up in flames,
and I’ll never be the same.
we the black of heart.
Running from what we can’t change.
Abandon the empire and sound the bell.

Bring on hellfire, might as well.
I’ll be singing to the slums.
Sing with me.
running from what we can’t change.
And we’re running
Whoa, whoa
Running, running, running…

i can't believe this band doesn't have more comments, they're freaking amazing! but anywhore... could someone please explain to me the meaning of this song? it confuses me =[
they don't have that many comments because they are a fairly new band. but they are sooo talented and amazing. of all their songs, i think this one definetly rocks the most.
i'm not sure as to it's meaning. they sound very much like A7X [well, M.Shadows did help produce their record] they fucking rock.
not sure of the meaning either, but i must say these guys have some serious talent. i saw em live and met em all. they're all really cool guys.
I love this song. I can't wait to see them live in august, I dont know what this song means but its one of my favorites on their album.
Yeah this band rocks...sounds heaps like a7x, trivium, bulletfor my valentine...but they have their own sweet ass sound
I agree! I don't know why there aren't any more comments. I actually found this band accidentally but I'm glad I did.
I wish I knew what this song meant!
I about cried when i understood the lyrics to the song. Eat your heart out. "And were runnin' from the start, we the black of heart." RAWR! love that phrase ^_^
i love the old school licks and taylor's licks. this band kicks ass. too bad they broke up
