lyrics

The absence of god
The cathedral in flames
Denial of christ
Remembrance of mortality
I carried the cross on my back
Waiting for you to praise me for always protecting your name
I baptized myself in your blood and threw myself down at your feet
Begging for you to release me
The burden of sin
Purged by the lamb
An unkept promise
An ancestral myth
I broke myself free of your chains and fashioned some cuffs of my own
The flaws in my system exposed
I tore my heart out of my chest and put all my pain on display
No longer a victim of lies
The sacrifice of the son
A guilt manufactured by shame
The tyranny of the father
Spiritually enslaved
Behold the myth adorned with a crown of thorns
The kingdom is waiting for all the marching saints
The blasphemy of the children
Punishable by hell
The freedom of intelligence
A danger to the belief
Fall to your knees and give up your free will
Your path has been decided
Submit to your god and you will be shown mercy
Torment awaiting the sinners
Blessed be those who don't think for themselves
Knowledge is just a distraction
The king sits high on his throne made of gold
Building an army of soldiers
Blood has been shed by the saviour for resurrection of mankind
A gathering of his disciples, a magnified cult of control
A method of indoctrination designed for consumer appeal
The church holds the keys to the kingdom
But the door has been locked from within
