[Verse 1]
Spat out of heaven, now we are all hell bound
The church of your love is still burning itself to the ground
Curse on your heart, you’re a stake in my chest
You’re flaccid for life as I lust for your death
[Refrain]

Headstones, let our bones turn to dust in the fire and the brimstone
So give us headstones, let our bones turn to dust in the fire and the brimstone
Headstones, let our bones turn to dust in the fire and the brimstone
