DevilDriver - Burning Sermon Lyrics






Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
You carry the burden as an excuse
To keep the pressure on, so you don't fall off
Seem to love the usual vices, gonna get your fill
So take your pills, I'll see you in the morning!
No one ever comes full circle, and ever will
welcome to the pity party,
The sign says kill!

Oh the webs you've woven, the lies you've chosen
The love in ruins, this fucking betrayal will bring the truth out, out on the table for all to see
This burning heart is a burning sermon, with whiskey it burns, taken ridden ravaged!

Bedlam, mansions of misery built on pain
Your houses of deceit, wake up, you fucking coward of a man
The line between us has been drawn in the sand
I'm calling you out, out on all your bullshit to date
So hang a light out for me!

[Chorus]

This is a call to the throne!

    Revision: 1. Money creates a structure of inequality. 2. Sex makes that inequality better to handle. 3. I'm down for structured inequality as long as DD gets my money.

I would teach you the words.. :x

  32. K.... P....

    Ever since I saw DevilDriver at Ozzfest last year I couldn't stop listening to them! They are quickly becoming my new favorite band.

  33. F.... ....

    wow this is better than justin bieber!

  34. T.... ....

    I'd be surprised if you can find anything heavier than this.

    T.... ....

    TheBANANAMAL nails - violence is forever

  35. A.... Y....

    Opening riff tried to kill me with its awesomeness

  36. x.... ....

    @guitarstar67 New? Lol.

  37. J.... ....

    @stevepwn i heard they are coming out with a new album this year sometime. I guess we will have to see if they brought back the old stuff :P

  38. T.... ....

    One of my favorites of the album thats for sure! The guitar rifts towards the two and a half minute marker of the song are wicked... : )

  39. D.... ....

    @Fattycake55 pray for villains is the shit

  40. O.... T....

    THIS is the epic shit. :)

  41. m.... ....

    i know i am going against the grain on this one, but their newest one is my favorite, last kind words 2nd, first one 3rd and foomh in 4th. i think pray for villains is more refined and still keeping the aggression. especially the drumming and dez's vocals.

  42. m.... ....

    @Mettwustbroetchen get a guitar tuner and just start reading into it. tune your guitar before and after you play and every time you pick it up. you will get it.

  43. r.... ....

    i take it you mean double bass kick xD

  44. B.... ....

    Can't forget Drop B (BFBD#AC

  45. S.... P....

    agreed i saw them live and my neck was sore from headbanging, too bad they dont play this song though

  46. m.... ....

    lets back up a minuet sorry for being ignorant but what's the name of this album I can't read it. I've never heard or listened to Devildriver befor but after listening to this I want to go and get this album.

  47. s.... ....

    The album The Last Kind Words is amazing!
    The Axe Shall Fall is my favorite song on this masterpiece!

  48. C.... M....

    @Mettwustbroetchen

    drop d is D-a-d-g-b-e

    this tune is in drop C which is a full step lower

    i.e C-g-c-f-a-d

  49. b.... ....

    all devil driver songs are in drop D tuning

  50. h.... ....

    5/5 \m/

  51. c.... ....

    All Hail drummer oriented Devildriver in all their glory

  52. E.... ....

    yeah, but i usually just go on the internet and get a tuner on there. haha

  53. A.... G....

    True man. Great band indeed. U sometimes get great instrumental fom the band but the song is most of the time not the most fitting. This singer is off the fucken hook tho man. INcredible

  54. A.... G....

    Metal at its core. Rough, hard and it'll fucken pwn anyones ass \m/

  55. A.... G....

    dude I fucken know. Especialy love the breakdown \m/

  56. A.... G....

    proly drop D since chords are changed quite fast... u got a tuner?

  57. E.... ....

    hah im trying to learn this song right now..hardest part is the rhythm, and does anyone know the exact tuning?

  58. B.... �....

    oha voll geil man !! ♥

  59. S.... ....

    I dunno if it's the absolute fandom one develops in metal. But I find there are very few peple who say they only like one song by a metal band. It's actually awesome cause rather than having to find a million different good songs you can almost guarantee that buying any given album will give you a whole bunch of great songs.

  60. t.... ....

    That's the sign of a great band - I think I've seen at least one person say this about every DevilDriver song on youtube. If one-hit-wonders were a poison (and they are), DD is the antidote.

  61. F.... ....

    fuckin grooves O.o

  62. N.... ....

    This is my favorite song by Devil Driver

  63. p.... ....
