The Day God Forged His Darkest Soldier

Verse 1

Woke up screaming with my fists full of iron

Something older than the dirt is in my blood

Mama prayed over a boy who came back wrong

Now I chew the nails she hammered in my hands

Pre-Chorus

I was born

I was burned

I was sworn to the flame

Chorus

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

I am the scar he carved to prove he bled

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

Bury me and watch me crawl back out again

Verse 2

Priest came knocking with his soft little book

I bit the cross right off his trembling throat

Every angel in the rafters turned away

They knew my name before my mother screamed it out

Pre-Chorus

I was born

I was burned

I was sworn to the flame

Chorus

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

I am the scar he carved to prove he bled

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

Bury me and watch me crawl back out again

Post-Chorus

Down

Down

Dragged me down

Down

Down

Dragged me down

Bridge

Beat me

Break me

Make me holy in the filth

Cut me

Crown me

Let the wreckage be my throne

Guitar Solo

Breakdown

Tear the halo

Tear the throat

Tear the halo

Tear the throat

(Let it bleed)

(Let it bleed)

Chorus

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

I am the scar he carved to prove he bled

I am the day God forged his darkest soldier

Bury me and watch me crawl back out again

Outro

Watch me crawl

Watch me crawl

Crawl
