Faith of the Fallen Lyrics

the virgin gave birth, to a world under curse
Joseph fashioned the pauper’s coffin you deserve for your life’s work
the sick yet saved, be gone from me
I have wrapped your lies in fragranced silk and heaved a stone before your grave
look closely at the coins you tithe
you’re bribing Judas to betray your mind
thirty pieces of silver was the price
and re-examine all the psalms that you tirade
you’ve fallen victim to a conditional masquerade
a sad charade, where the only object is to be saved
silver tongues recoiled from saving souls
salvation through airwaves ‘cross littered streets paved with hope
in vestige best, deliver a sterling Sabbath performance
hand on the screen, speaking tongues on the false day of rest
it’s time to question all the dogmas both preached and attacked
and scrutinize all of the fables you believe as fact
do you believe moral decay comes from their lack?
just like an organ, you’ve been played since your life began
to the tune of God residing in the hearts of men
now can you stand the weight of all of these sins?
what wicked lies which shield the blind from active minds
truth is the one adversary which no church can survive
‘not perfect, just forgiven’, they claim
but in the end you’ll all never be forgiven by me
the truth is coming down like the walls of your gothic cathedrals
the dead are reaching from the ground beneath your pews
compelling truths more vivid than some lurid gospel
dubious at best are the lies echoed from the pulpit
the blind leading the blind, in a room without light
in this modern-day Aceldama mistaken for peace of mind
there is a real world right beneath your feet
yet you hold out for some evanescent god forever out of reach
phylactery entanglement around your very mind
with the fate of man held in the balance of wasted time
children of Zion, can you hear me?
the world grows tired of sword-point theology
Christianity… no more Christianity… no more
