Salvation Denied

If you had a heart, I'd tear it out
And show you it's black like this hole in my chest
If you had a soul, I'd twist it in knots
The leeches that fester and rot

I've never cut deeper (Salvation)
I've never bled longer (Denied)
I'm dead on your alter (Salvation)
Part of the slaughter (Denied)

So much of our lives wasted in misery
Cowering, cornered, bowing in apathy
Filled up with bitterness, no answers given
Condemned to nothingness, punishment granted

I've never cut deeper (Salvation)
I've never bled longer (Denied)
I'm dead on your alter (Salvation)
Part of the slaughter (Denied)

Your wasted life was a selfish choice
Your divisive words are now a silenced voice
I'm pitiless now, can't stand to think
Of the countless times you questioned me

I've never cut deeper (Salvation)
I've never bled longer (Denied)
I'm dead on your alter (Salvation)
Part of the slaughter (Denied)
