About The Heretic

My oldest song, written when I was 13 yo, and later translated into English when we played it with Dead Go Fast. I brought the sitar back from Agra, India.

lyrics

Lyrics for The Heretic

A summer night he got pissed
He told people he was an heretic
He was just a man among the millions
That we’re in the abject, fucking world
Worrying ‘bout nuclear war
Looking for something, always waiting
I guess it couldn’t have been better

Alone in the dark the heretic prays
For his existence and for his life
He prays the lord for the souls
And bodies lost in the quicksands
So sat behind the altar
Burning candles, drowning flees

Alone in the dark the heretic cries
Asking his mum to come at his side
To show him her love
Take him in her arms
To shield him from other men

Ooooh baby don’t you cry
Mother will help you
Mother will guide you

Ooooh baby blue
Mother will help you
Mother will guide you
Mother will keep you
Cosy and warm under her wings
Mother will
Mother will
