Pray for Villains Lyrics by DevilDriver

Pray for Villains

2009

[Verse 1]
Bitter blood on the bloodstained highway
We're brothers in arms till we get it right
You're gonna want it your way, it's gotta be done now
Don't take it too far, gonna get it right
Move on from the past
Agree to disagree

[Bridge]
Every sorrow has its source
And your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of summer
On another sober September
This was meant for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I not my brother's keeper?
All is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival
A bitter enemy
Best friend, best friend
Till the end, till the end
The man you wish to be

[Chorus]
They pray for villains
When their heroes let them down
They pray for villains
When their heroes have let them down
Let them down, let them down!

[Verse 2]
The ties that bind the clock that winds
As the oceans meet the sky
On the hour of my death
Will you be standing by?

[Bridge]
Every sorrow has its source
And your conscience isn't free
In the dog days of summer
On another sober September
This was meant for you

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I not my brother's keeper?
All is what it seems to be
I'm a strong rival
A bitter enemy
Best friend, best friend
Till the end, till the end
The man you wish to be

[Chorus]
They pray for villains
When their heroes let them down
They pray for villains
When their heroes have let them down
Let them down, let them down!

[Verse 3]
Bless the broken road
As we limp back home
You get off on the sound
Of everything coming down
So down, down, down
Walk down the broken road

[Chorus]
They pray for villains
When their heroes let them down
They pray for villains
When their heroes have let them down
Let them down, let them down!
