Whip of Truth

[Southern gothic rock, banjos, violins shamisen, hyper crisp lyrics] [Verse] The cat of nine tails One life only Whip cracks in the dark Blow lands on the back [Verse 2] Cries of truth echo Back won't break Mind stays strong Truth cuts deep [Chorus] Whip whip they shout Cross on his shoulders Crown of fear on his head Whip whip echoes loud [Bridge] Pain that lasts forever Blood flows in silence Candles pierce the night Whip rules our hearts [Verse 3] Pain beneath the skin Endless in its journey Truth that burns To the whip's cruel beat [Verse 4] Eyes wide open now Facing the storm Strength in defiance Whip can't break the soul
