Heretic in the Modern World

[Verse 1]
We're born in killing fields
Long perished of ideals
And left to wallow in denial

[Pre-Chorus]
You'll vow to speak no evil
Instead there's no reprieval

[Chorus]
So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world

[Verse 2]
You're taught to reap the yields
With all the exits sealed
Arrest the sorrow in decay

[Pre-Chorus]
The ends will seek primeval
Mislead beyond retrieval

[Chorus]
So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world

[Bridge]
No feelings, you're kneeling
False dealing, life stealing

[Chorus]
So this is how my fate unfurled
A heretic in the modern world
I stood alone and took the threats they hurled
Like a heretic in the modern world
In crimson flow the hate returned
A heretic in the modern world
We stood alone as the mute observed
Just a heretic in the modern world
