No Man Born Evil lyrics - Defeater

The streetlights dim as he walks by

Ill intent hangs in the air, hangs in the night

Hangs with the moon, dull, low and red

Shining down against blue and black glow overhead

Through empty streets and alleys to the sea

Out to the tracks where the river meets

Flipping a coin walking tie to tie

A hardened broken man with a pusher's pride

Waits on his sale, man of the cloth

Father is on a bend and on the outs with god

And out of the dark, a glowing cigarette

"I'll take what you got man, I got it bad"

"How does it feel and what is it like to know the end is near?

To lose all you love, your veins turned to dust, spend your days in fear?"

How does it feel?

How does it feel?

Priest pulls him in, flashes a knife

Ill intent hangs in the air, hangs in the night

Hangs with the moon, dull, low and red

Red as the blood, spilled warm and thick covering his hands

"I was little boy blue, next thing I knew

A teenager on a tenement roof

Now I confess the pain that happened in between

As I bleed out, you should know the reason

I've been trying to drag you all to hell with me

No man born evil. No death; put my soul out to sea

Released from the sins of the flesh

Released from the sins of the flesh

No man born evil. I became evil when evil fell onto me"

The streetlights dim as he walks away

Ill intent hangs in the air, hangs in the night

Hangs with the moon, dull, low and red

Shining down against blue and black glow overhead

Sullen light to the western sky

Ill intent hangs in the air, hangs in the night

Hangs with the moon, dull, low and red

Red as the blood, spilled warm and thick covering his hands

"I was little boy blue, next thing I knew

A teenager on a tenement roof

Now I confess the pain that happened in between

As I bleed out, you should know the reason

I've been trying to drag you all to hell with me

Soul to sea

[?]

Released from the sins of the flesh
