lyrics

"Black Hearts Parade"

Here at our soot-washed
The gates will still stand
Oh line up to pull down these walls
The best of defenses:
Assault you don't use
Mother of Exiles calls

With conquering arms
Going hallway to hell
Leaving you praying amen
She's one that you trust
When you're wretched and free
Makes you rise rise rise again!

Arise!
Your battered, your broken
Your secrets half-spoken
On Black Hearts Parade
Where the sun never shines
And you'll meet your demise
But they'll love you the same
On your Black Hearts Parade

Pound down the door
For questions you need
The answers you already know
But the one that can cut through
Is the one that you'll hear
She sees its all just for show

With conquering arms
Going hallway to hell
Leaving you praying amen
She's one that you trust
When you're wretched and free
Makes you rise rise rise again!

Arise!
Your battered, your broken
Your secrets half-spoken
On Black Hearts Parade
Where the sun never shines
And you'll meet your demise
But they'll love you the same
On your Black Hearts Parade
