Myles Kennedy
The Unholy
[Verse 1]
Evil, shadows they are falling
And the misty eyed are calling
To a God so far
People, troubled times are coming
Still you wonder why I'm running
I will take no part

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(I know it was you this time)
(I know it was you this time) Evil
(I've seen it with my own two eyes)
(You lied)
(You lied)

[Chorus 1]
Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh, why?
It’s you that should be crucified

[Verse 2]
Echoes of your true intentions
Well, I guess you failed to mention
What was in your heart
Now I see it all so clearly
What you did to them has nearly
Torn us all apart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(I know it was you this time)
(I know it was you this time) Evil
(Took them like a sacrifice)
(You lied)
(You lied)

[Chorus 1]
Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh, why?
It’s you that should be crucified

[Bridge]
You stay on your knees
If you don't believe
Now don't question a thing at all
Just receive what you're meant to see
Now fall on your knees

[Verse 3]
Evil, shadows they are falling
And the misty eyed are calling
You will break their hearts
[Chorus 1]
Unholy, so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh, why?
It's you that should be crucified

[Verse 5]
The broken, how they cry
They only gave you heart and mind
How can you justify? They loved you
Oh father, don't deny
You took them like a sacrifice
We finally know the truth about you, oh

[Solo]

[Chorus 2]
You’re unholy, so vile
How can they justify, oh my
How they loved you
Concealing your crimes
But now they see this time
The blind will deny you
