Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my holy Lord
Sets my soul on fire
Flames of love and sweet perfume
She's my heart’s desire
She's an angel straight from Hell
Draws me to the deep
In the darkness way below
It's my heart she’ll keep
Yeah

Thunder underground
Watch the castle fall
Sound of wind it takes the sky
And winter takes us all
Mountain high against the sky
Watches as we pray
Laughing loud and smiling proud
This is where we lay

[Chorus]
Lover
Leaver
Taker
Believer
[Verse 2]
Oh, God Hellfire
Witch of Endor raised
Saul would fall to his knees, watch the fire rage
Satan plays his flute for him
The sound it burns his ears
Watches as the peace of man slips and disappears

Lover
Leaver
Taker
Believer, believer

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This is one of the band’s oldest songs, being played as early as 2014. It has gone through some structure changes over the years, but has generally been the same in recent years leading up to its official release.

It is staple for many of the band’s concerts, often being the longest song in the set. This is because the band will jam in the middle of the song, often adding covers into the performance. Live performances have been known to be as long as 38+ minutes.

A single version of the song was released ahead of the full-length release, simply titled “Lover, Leaver.”
