[Verse 1] You walk in with your worn-out boots And nothing left for me to lose I'm polished steel, I'm England's pride But I'm on my knees, my hands are tied You look at me with cold, dead eyes And I just want to be chastised [Pre-Chorus] Oh, bring your sermon, bring your rope I'm the saint who's lost all hope You're the only one who's real Make me beg, make me kneel [Chorus] So say my prayer backwards, fill up my lungs Put your heavy verdict on the tip of my tongue I want to taste the fury that you keep inside Choke on your forgiveness, 'til my throat runs dry You're my judge and jury, my beautiful sin Pull the trigger, Daddy, let the lesson begin [Verse 2] You hate the halo that I stole So come and desecrate my soul I'll wear your bruises like a medal Push me harder on the pedal I'm screaming without any sound The only king who wants his crown shoved down... [Pre-Chorus] Deep where the silence gets too loud Away from the patriotic crowd You're the only one who's real Make me beg, make me kneel [Chorus] So say my prayer backwards, fill up my lungs Put your heavy verdict on the tip of my tongue I want to taste the fury that you keep inside Choke on your forgiveness, 'til my throat runs dry You're my judge and jury, my beautiful sin Pull the trigger, Daddy, let the lesson begin [Bridge] Every wall I built, you break it Every law I wrote, you shake it I'm the fortress, you're the flood Give me all your hate and blood 'Til there's nothing left to spill Just a body, just a thrill... [Outro] ...Swallow the kingdom, make it hurt nice Turn my throne room to a vice Wreck this temple, leave your mark Amen... amen... into the dark.
