Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem Lyrics






Eight, seven, six, six, six
Five, four, three, two, one, zero

Yeah!

I'm a pop star threat and I'm not dead yet
Got a super dread bet with an angel drug head
Like a dead beat winner, I want to be a sinner
An idolized bang for the industry killer
A hideous man that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic
Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be

If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
Well if you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?

Everybody's so infatuated
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
Everybody defamates from miles away
But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say
I bleed for this and I bleed for you
Still you look in my face like I'm somebody new
TOY - nobody wants anything I've got
Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm NOT

If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
Well if you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?

Yeah!
Heretic!
Yeah!

30 Seconds, 16, 8, 4, lemme tell you why
I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest
They're listening, clamoring
All the money in the world can't buy me

Go ahead lie to me, tell me again how you're tortured
I wanna know how you followed your orders so well
You're full of shit
You had a dream but this ain't it

If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666

If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?

Heretic!
Yeah!

    THE HERETIC ANTHEM LYRICS

    [Intro]
    (Eight-seven-six-six-six-five-four-three-two-one-zero)
    Yeah

    [Verse 1]
    I'm a pop star threat, and I'm not dead yet
    Got a super dread bet with an angel drug head
    Like a dead beat winner, I wanna be a sinner
    An idolized bang for the industry killer
    A hideous man that you don't understand
    Throw a suicide party, and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
    It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic
    Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be

    [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
    If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?

    [Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
    Everybody's so infatuated
    Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
    Everybody defamates from miles away
    But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say
    I bleed for this, and I bleed for you
    Still, you look in my face like I'm somebody new
    Toy, nobody wants anything I've got
    Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not

    [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
    If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?

    [Post-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
    Yeah
    Heretic, yeah

    [Verse 3: Corey Taylor]
    Thirty seconds, sixteen, eight, four, let me tell you why
    I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest
    They're listening, clamoring
    All the money in the world can't buy me
    Go ahead, lie to me
    Tell me again how you're tortured
    I wanna know how you followed your orders so well
    You're full of shit, you had a dream, but this ain't it

    [Pre-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    No

    [Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
    If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
    If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
    If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
    If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
    What's it like to be a heretic?
