Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mystical, hysterical, radical, tyrannical

Cynical, the pinnacle, the pitiful in their pretty wool

The gravitas, the lives we've lost, sign your cross to pay the cost

You bend the knee quite shakily, and break my heart so tenderly

The ringing bells that tell the tales, empires rise, empires fell

Charity, catastrophe, the past decree, let the bastards be

Hold me now and hold me down, cut me with your thorny crown

And bleed me out, let the children shout, so they can see what we're all about

[Chorus]

Walls were built to fall

Our gods and alcohol

I refuse the call

Walls were built to fall

[Verse 2]

Mystery conspiracy surrounding me in groups of three

The trinity that sits with me and pours my tea in symmetry

Breaks my bread and keeps my stead, they watch the blood fall from my head

And gather like a shadow grows, upon my pillow, fills my nose

Until no longer breath I feel, the horse, it bucks and breaks the wheel

Laughter rise like clouds of dust, we turn to heroin, to lust

And rush the pope with veils and sheaths, scream heresy

Bring forth the beast and lead us to our vaunted fate, with bones as beggars dirty plates

Fill the streets with rotten meats, with fallen angel wings defeat

Bleary eyes terrorize the blindness of our mortal lies

Injurious, spurious, incurious, in God we trust

To once again cut down our foes, we fill our pails as darkness grows

[Chorus]

Walls were built to fall

Our gods and alcohol

I refuse the call

Walls were built to fall

[Verse 3]

I sit in Bodhisattva robes, the serpent with the servant rose

And hung him in his filthy clothes, the swollen holes sung songs for those

Who never had a chance to rise, the golden light of dawn's demise

The wind, it lashes, shakes the steel, impales the pines with pain we feel

Idolatry, the policy, the coliseum spawned by greed

The common creed, the prophecies, the dying mother's final pleas

My child, my child, why can't we know the promised land, where we were told

Would keep up safely from the cold? Forbidden cities paved with gold

But as I keep you at my breast, and guide you to eternal rest

With feral faith, I'll stalk the key and face the feckless pharisee

To keep your name in full, I'll fight, I'll follow you into the light

Forever in my mournful state, I'll rush my death to crash the gate

[Chorus]

Walls were built to fall

Gods and alcohol

I refuse the call

Walls were built to fall

Walls were built to fall
