about

4th single from acoustic rock group "Local Dive"

lyrics

The cardinal sin, you let the wrong deity in,
and then you’re wanderin purgatory with some crow on your chin
Manuscripts are easy to misinterpret,
You’d do better to listnin’ to me, than some fair weather divinity

a brand new altar to kneel to, on the hallowed ground that fills you with holes

A stone’s throw away sleeping there are three do they follow or lead
Is this station your lesson or teachings, are you sure about who you succeed
At this mountain where olive trees grow free, there’s plenty branches that are all within reach
But there’s only one hand that’s not empty, I’m the only one to offer you peace

Hallelujah, we’ll devote our wars to ya
That blood on your hands will never dry once you’re through with this
Kiss your Judas, oh you rex ludaeorum
Pilots drop bombs your children pay to the proclaimed pious

a brand new altar to kneel to, on the hallowed ground that fills you with holes

A stone’s throw away sleeping there are three do they follow or lead
Is this station your lesson or teachings, are you sure about who you succeed
At this mountain where olive trees grow free, there’s plenty branches that are all within reach
But there’s only one hand that’s not empty, I’m the only one to offer you peace

Lay your troubles down at my feet, and lets break bread with these stones
You can’t even fall down from here , he sends his troops where you go
You could have every kingdom you see, why settle for just one throne
Don’t be so eager to exile me, don’t spite the rose for the thorns
Don’t spite the rose for the thorns
