The Churches of the Dead Lyrics by Eric Bass

I Had A Name

2025

[Verse 1]
\nIts comin' in stages
\nI've been writing them pages
\n'Bout how our godly people always seem to know
\nWhat's on the horizon, that thunder and ligntnin'
\nIt can cause you to pray away your depravity for sure
\n
\nYou know your mama tried to do you right and raise you well
\nBut far as I can tell you've been slowly
\nPushing up the daisies in your bed at night
\nYou're acting real uptight, like you don't know me
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nCome fly with me and I'll take you to see where the skies have bled
\nAnd let's ring a bell for the women who fell in the churches of the dead
\n
\n[Pre Chorus]
\nFantasy is life but birth and thе knife
\nOur future is out on the lеdge
\nThe kingdoms have fallen and no one is calling us back from the edge
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nBut you've always had hope
\nAnd it's keeping you alive
\nWhen the demons come at night
\nYou've always had hope
\nAnd now the skies are turning red
\nIn the churches of the dead
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nThere's nothing to scratch that itch
\nQuit being a little bitch
\nIts fair to say that you've thrown away your mind
\nSorry for your loss, but somebody got to pay that cost
\nOf admission to the system
\n(Feelings for the blind)
\n
\nI guess your brothers and your sisters ain't enough for you
\nThey do all they can do to keep you breathing
\nNever ask for nothing for their sacrifice
\nBut you keep wondering why you're still bleeding
\n
\n[Pre Chorus]
\nSend us a sign to tell us we're fine
\nThe churches have fallen, and still no one's calling
\nOur senses are gone, and we're just hanging on
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nYou've always had hope
\nAnd it's keeping you alive
\nWhen the demons come at night
\nYou've always had hope
\nAnd now the skies are turning red
\nIn the churches of the dead
\nGo
\n
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n
\n[Verse 4]
\nSo carry me into the darkness, let this be my final act
\nCause' I don't wanna be a slave, to all the days I can't get back
\nI worry for my soul
\nIt's damaged and it's in control
\nAnd I'm sorry for my desperation, I don't know where else to turn
\nI'm sick of all this anger, and I know I've got a lot to learn
\nI'm praying for the living, and I'm praying for the ghosts
\nAnd I'm praying for the dead that's seen it all
\nAmen
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nAnd you've always had hope
\nAnd its keeping you alive when the demons come at night
\nYou've always had hope, and now the skies are turning red
\nIn the churches of the dead
\nAmen
\n
\n[Outro]
\nNever look down, that's the right way to do it
\nYou've always been broken, but you always got through it\n\n
