Monarch - Holy Locust

Like the sinners you’d wish to save
I’m consuming faster each day
You told me you can free me from these voices
These are your lies but only my lies stay
This faith is nothing but a chain

Holy Locust
Save me
Holy Locust
Stain me

I have no tears to wash the stains you do
No more skin to protect my soul from you
I wait for your sacrifice

Holy locust
Save me
Holy Locust
Stain me

This flesh is for your sacrifice
I’m crawling in the eyes of the locust
Until you break, until you burn
I believe in the tide of the locusts

Hollow thing made of flesh and dirt
Preaching alone in the desert
Through your blind eyes closed you can see me
I lay in your palm and I stop to flee
Preaching for a god who is dead
Keep pretending all has been said
