The Unholy Lyrics

Evil shadows they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
To a god so far
People, troubled times are coming
Still you wonder why I’m running
I will take no part

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
I've seen it with my own two eyes
You lie, you lie

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

Echoes of your true intentions
Well I guess you failed to mention
What was in your heart
Now I say it all so clearly
What you did to them has nearly
Torn us all apart

I know it was you this time
I know it was you this time (evil)
Took them like a sacrifice
You lie, you lie

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

You say, on your knees that you don’t believe now
Don’t question a thing at all
Just receive what you’re meant to see
Now fall
On your knees

Evil shadow they are falling
And the misty-eyed are calling
You will break their heart

Unholy so vile
How can you justify a lie?
One more sacred alibi
Concealing your crimes
Until the end of time
Oh why
It’s you that should be crucified

The broken how they cry
They only gave you heart and mind
How can you justify?
They loved you
Now father don’t deny
You took them like a sacrifice
We finally know the truth about you
Oh yeah

You’re unholy
So vile
How can you justify?
Oh my, how they loved you
Oh yeah
Concealing your crimes
But now they’ll see this time
The blind will deny you

The Unholy Song Chart

In 2010 Slash founded Slasher Films, a horror film production company. The former Guns N' Roses guitarist co-wrote the soundtrack for its first motion picture, Nothing Left to Fear, which was premiered on October 4, 2013. This song was influenced by Slash's time in the film world. He told Artist Direct : "When I write music for movies, a different side of me as a musician comes out. I really liked that side. It's something I never apply to the confines of a rock band who's doing songs at roughly around four minutes long. It's not as a rule, but it just never happened."

"I thought, 'God, I'd just love to sit down and write thematically in the context of the band as opposed to only doing it for cinema and visuals,'" Slash added. "'The Unholy' was the result of that, and it still ended up being seven minutes long. It started out like it does on acoustic."

Slash told Premier Guitar magazine that he used his Goldtop '57 reissue guitar on World On Fire, "for that creamy stuff where it's sustainy smooth where I turn the tone down." That included the guitar solo at the very end of this song.
