Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the sign of the sacrament
On the banner of thorns
On the seventh of days in the Bible, we are born
[Verse 2]
Break the heart of a reverend
On a sabbath at dawn
On the final of days, not a God came to forewarn
[PreChorus]
Venomous, feverous, force us to run
We are credulous, ominous, thy kingdom come
One, one, one with the pyres at dawn
[Chorus]
We are the heretic hunters tonight
We are the heretic hunters for life
By the hand of our belief
And the harvest of the night
Hand up for heretic life
[Verse 3]
We are sons of the wilderness
By the sound of the horn
Running faster than light and we hunt 'em till the dawn
[Verse 4]
We are done with the heaven sent
No messiah we mourn
In the sermon at night, full of hatred and of scorn
[PreChorus]
Venomous, feverous, force us to shout
We are tenebrous, poisonous, hellbent and loud
Uncrowned, hold up the sacrilege proud
[Chorus]
We are the heretic hunters tonight
We are the heretic hunters for life
By the hand of our belief
And the harvest of the night
Hand up for heretic life
[Outro]
We are the heretic hunters all wild
We are the heretic hunters for life
Never forced down to our knees
We're the hardest in the fight
Fist up for heretic life
