[Verse 1: Dani Winter-Bates]
I've watched a dawn through the eyes of the dead
I've seen their sorry souls holding onto their threads
And what the fuck have they got to show for it?
Pain, suffering, regret
And there's a fine wired line wrapped around all their necks
They're punishing themselves while they're paying for it
I'm tightening the line, now they're struggling for breath
Consume, ignore, restrict, bеhead
[Chorus: Tom Prendergast & Dani Winter-Bates, both]
Rise, aura confined and blindly wе find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
Reveal what was foreseen
Rise, aura confined and blindly we find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
Reveal what was foreseen
[Verse 2: Loz Taylor & Dani Winter-Bates, both]
I'm going in
I'm sick of swallowing the lies we've been fed
I've felt the chains of the condemned, the falsely led
What the fuck have we got to show for it?
Pain, suffering, regret
There's a fine wired line wrapped around all their necks
They're punishing themselves while they're praying for it
I'm tightening the line, now they're struggling for breath
Consume, ignore, restrict, behead
[Chorus: Tom Prendergast & Dani Winter-Bates]
Rise, aura confined and blindly we find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
Reveal what was foreseen
Rise, aura confined and blindly we find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
Reveal what was foreseen
[Bridge: Dani Winter-Bates]
Assimilate to annihilate
Freedom is not yours to take
Stand alone, watch the sun eclipse
Drown your fear, last of the heretics, oh
Last of the heretics
Last of the heretics, oh
Yeah
[Chorus: Tom Prendergast & Dani Winter-Bates, both]
Rise, aura confined and blindly we find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
To reveal what was foreseen
Rise, aura confined and blindly we find
The birth of the obscene
Lies, through forgetful eyes, the death of the light
Reveal what was foreseen
[Outro: Dani Winter-Bates]
It's uncomfortable; a promise infernal
My sacrificial soul
It's uncomfortable; a promise infernal
My sacrificial soul
It's uncomfortable; a promise infernal
My sacrificial soul
It's uncomfortable; a promise infernal
My sacrificial soul, yeah
Heretic was written by Kristan Dawson & Dani Winter Bates.

Dani Winter-Bates:
This is as pissed off as you probably get me as a vocalist. It’s a particularly violent song, and it has to do with living in chaos and understanding that we can use that to our advantage sometimes. For the middle bit, we got Loz Taylor; While She Sleeps are our boys and have bee...
