  • Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
    I was gone, but how was I to know?
    I didn't come this far to sink so low
    I'm finally holding on to letting go
    (I'll never kill myself to save my soul)
    I'm finally holding on to letting go
    (I didn't come this far to sink so low)
    I'm finally holding on to letting go

    I'm just weathering a rough patch
    Another villain with an itch to scratch
    Denial is the darkest when you live in a hole
    Why does the hell make you feel so cold?
    Make a move and you pay for it
    Pick a lord and you pray to it
    You're so demanding when you want the truth
    But your stories don't read for me

    Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
    I was gone, but how was I to know?
    I didn't come this far to sink so low
    I'm finally holding on to letting go

    Indecision overload
    Keep a buckle on the devil and your eyes on the road
    Reaching out for the hand of God
    But did you think you'd shake your own?
    This killing field is all grown over
    The motherfucker wants it wild
    Go sow your oats in alphabetical order
    The anti-antagonist is back in style
    (Myopic) cannot see straight
    (Dystopic) one sin too late
    You gotta lie if you wanna believe
    But your bibles don't work on me

    Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
    I was gone, but how was I to know?
    I didn't come this far to sink so low
    I'm finally holding on to letting
    Go

    Did you think you could win? And fill me in?
    Did you think you could do it again? I'm not your sin
    I was all that you wanted and more, but you didn't want me
    I was more than you thought I could be
    So I'm setting you free, I'm setting you free

    You've killed the saint in me
    How dare you martyr me
    You've killed the saint in me

    Oh, I'll never kill myself to save my soul
    I was gone, but how was I to know?
    I didn't come this far to sink so low
    I'm finally holding on to letting go

    You've killed the saint in me
    How dare you martyr me?
    You've killed the saint in me
    How dare you martyr me? Writer/s: Chris Fehn, Corey Taylor, Craig Jones, Jim Root, Joey Jordison, Mick Thompson, Paul Gray, Shawn Crahan, Sid Wilson

  • Anointedsword from PennsylvaniaScripture never said, He was God's favorite angel. Jesus said, He was a murderer from the beginning, please do not speak for Christ or the church. It is important to ask questions if you do not know the answers. As far as the song, people have pain and hurt they work through, and I see that in these lyrics.
  • Erik Johnsob from PaThat is not what the song is about maybe some of it is about depression but the chorus I'll never kill myself to save my soul is referring to religion meaning I'm not going to change who I am for some religious God that he doesn't believe in...Also I believe he is referring to lucifer in this song from the prespective of Satan by saying you killed the Saint in me meaning luciferr was one of God's angels and God cast him out killing the Saint in him its a song about being proud to not be a Saint hence unsainted its a dark anthem embracing that side and being proud to not be a Saint I also believe when he says reaching out for the hand of God did you think you'd shake your on this is a new age belief that we are all God's and last I was all that you wanted an more but you didn't want me this could be about his girlfriend but I think it's referring to Satan and how God cast him out of heaven
    even though he was God's favorite angel at one time but who knows just my take
