Virgin Black lyrics : "Velvet Tongue"

A thousand tears, a thousand eyes
My friends and I, we cry
Religion has raped us

Forever we rehearse the song
That strips our throats to blood
We bare our souls in transparency

But our velvet tongues will never please their ears
But are you holding on?
I'm holding on

Look at us dying
A field of human crucifixes, weathered and fading
Heaven hears nothing as the priests are wailing

And they're crushing our souls
We feel our lives
Sifting through our hands

But we're holding on
Look at my face
Look at God in my eyes

We stand
