Zachariah Lyrics

Zachariah was a tall man, he made the others fear

Zachariah was a fair man, he never cried a tear

Zachariah was a strong man, took the world upon his back

Zachariah was a young man, when they sent him to the black

Here's the story of the long forgotten chosen one

The emissary of the cemetery's seventh, seventh, seventh son

Zachariah came from elsewhere, he was not made of flesh

Zachariah walked among us, but inhuman nonetheless

Zachariah preached the golden word, he never backed away

Zachariah vowed he'd rise again, come 'round on judgment day

But when they saw Zachiarah's power

And they felt his steely gaze

The townsfolk all cried "MONSTER!"

And they sent him to his grave

Here's the story of the long forgotten chosen one

The emissary of the cemetery's seventh son

The only man that could incarcerate the Devil's fun

He had the power, but he didn't make the spirits run

He could have saved them when all was said and, said and, said and done

And when the night it fell upon them, while sleeping in their beds

They woke up to the nightmares, but not dreams in their heads

The demons came from everywhere, and cackled through the night

"Twas only Zachariah that could have saved your lives!"

Here's the story of the long forgotten chosen one

The emissary of the cemetery's seventh son

The only man that could incarcerate the Devil's fun

He had the power, but the didn't let this spirit run

He could have saved them when all was said and, said and, said and done
