lyrics

Woke up in a monastery
Sure won’t find my vices here
There’s a halo fighting me
A sea of robes, the eyes that show
Walks a truth I’ll never know
Set alight my path of shame

The pagan war was lost it seemed
Chemical highs strengthened my belief
That there ain’t no god but me
Sanctified a little petrified
My past has come to rob my grief
Not sure who’s gonna lose

Chorus: Woohoh take me down
To the hollow in the ground
I lie crooked please hear my prayers
I think this rebel’s gonna bow

My karma it ain’t looking good
Prostrations of a 1000 miles might save this wretched mind
A blessed scarf around my neck
Feels like a noose don’t take me yet
Let me suffer a few more lives

I wanna be pure, I wanna be whole
I wanna wear your holy robe
I want your wisdom and I want it now
Take me to the golden place
A promise of divine disgrace
There’s no wise in my shameful rise

Chorus
