Lyrics

A hollow spire climbs the sky
A cruel machine where faith must die
The altar now a golden throne
That traps the masses in walls of stone
Salvation sold like merchandise
A price is placed on paradise
Faith has turned into their tool
To blind the hearts they seek to rule
They mold our souls like molten clay
Shape our fears and make us pay
Their sacred words become a chain
They sell us hope through guilt and pain
This is not the voice of God
Just the echo of a fraud
Singing hallelujah loud
While these merciless ones tear me down
I searched for God in pillars of gold
For truth in stories I was told
My prayers returned with silent air
And meekness turned to bold despair
Stuck inside where God feels gone
Where power reigns and love is none
They wear His name like saintly guise
But hide cold schemes behind kind eyes
They mold our souls like molten clay
Shape our fears and make us pay
Their sacred words become a chain
They sell us hope through guilt and pain
This is not the voice of God
Just the echo of a fraud
Singing hallelujah loud
While these merciless ones tear me down
But I will rise through smoke and flame
No longer bound by guilt or blame
The throne will crumble, truth will ignite
And I will walk into the light
But I won't bow, I won't believe
In hollow words that just deceive
I'll rip away their veil of night
And step into the honest light
They mold our souls like molten clay
Shape our fears and make us pay
Their sacred words become a chain
They sell us hope through guilt and pain
This is not the voice of God
Just the echo of a fraud
Singing hallelujah loud
While these merciless ones tear me down
But I will rise through smoke and flame
No longer bound by guilt or blame
The throne will crumble, truth will ignite
And I will walk into the light
This is not the voice of God
Just the echo of a fraud
Singing hallelujah loud
While these merciless ones tear me down
But I will rise through smoke and flame
No longer bound by guilt or blame
The throne will crumble, truth will ignite
And I will walk into the light
