Spoils of War lyrics

[Intro: Zheani]
(You'll be named a patron saint, but love, first you have to die)

[Chorus: Zheani]
Blasphemy never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Blasphemy never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king

[Break: Zheani]
Guilty, but first, you have to die
(But love, first you have to die)
Guilty, but first, you have to die

[Chorus: Zheani]
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear thеm call
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Blasphеmy, never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Blasphemy, never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king
[Break: Zheani]
Guilty, but first, you have to die
(But love, first you have to die)
Guilty, but first, you have to die

[Verse 1: Zheani]
Perfect, see me through a filter
I'm rotting, guilty
To the point I'm perfect
Blessed, ageless, infested, contagious
Beauty of an age
God hides behind my eyes
And tells me things about you guys that you do not want me to know
I see your hate and all you loath
And what you wants a f*cking shame
All the same
All to blame
All are perfectly made in his image
Perfect

[Verse 2: Buttress]
I walk undetected through enemy doors
They all fall at my feet
Leper, see my open sores
If it's true, all's fair in love and war
Then how did I end up here?
Is this just? Is justice the sword?
Come broken, spoils of warfare
Filthy, beaten, downtrodden
The daughters of whores
Where is my body? Where is my blood?
Outside with the dogs, mingling with the mud
Outside city gates, I'll wait for you
And if you don't see me there
My revenge is a dead-end, I swear
I have nothing left, but hate for you
My body's a machine
And my spite, the match that lights the fuel
How did I get here? I followed a star
It was revealed to me in a dream, I was only seventeen
I come here for the head of your king
And until then, I won't leave
Until I can return home with my spoils of war
[Chorus: Zheani]
Blasphemy, never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Boiling water, spoils of war
Warnings I hear them call
Blasphemy, never sleep
They lost all faith in me
Heresy seventeen
You take me to your king

[Break: Zheani]
Guilty, but first, you have to die
(But love, first you have to die)
Guilty, but first, you have to die
