Lyrics

A low flame crawls beneath the stone
A borrowed face claims flesh and throne
Evil trudges through flames and wire
A painted saint feeds borrowed fire

You kneel before a hollow grin
And call the mask a world within
They trade your doubt for polished chains
Then bless the hand that hides the stains

The honest word is dragged outside
While louder frauds become your guide
You break the altar truth once raised
To praise the names that fear has made

Who taught you to abandon the living light?
Who profits when the lie takes your sight?

False idols, crowned in stolen gold
Selling empty heavens to the sold
You burn the truth to keep them high
Feed their illusion while real faith dies
False idols, faces made of clay
Take your hands and turn your eyes away
When every god is built to serve a man
Tear down the shrine and stand

They forge a halo out of blame
Then stamp your forehead with their name
A thousand voices chant the script
While every conscience comes unstitched

The weak are taught to fear the clear
The cruel are dressed as something dear
You call obedience a cure
And make the sickness seem secure

Who taught you to mistake control for grace?
Who hides the knife behind the face?

False idols, crowned in stolen gold
Selling empty heavens to the sold
You burn the truth to keep them high
Feed their illusion while real faith dies
False idols, faces made of clay
Take your hands and turn your eyes away
When every god is built to serve a man
Tear down the shrine and stand

No statue speaks
No mask can bleed
No throne can make a soul believe
The sacred breath was never theirs
It lived before their empty prayers

Cut the cord
Break the seal
Name the wound
Make it real
No more kings
Built from fear
No false god
Rules us here

False idols, crowned in stolen gold
Selling empty heavens to the sold
You burn the truth to keep them high
Feed their illusion while real faith dies
False idols, faces made of clay
Take your hands and turn your eyes away
When every god is built to serve a man
Tear down the shrine and stand

The stone is cracked
The mask is gone
The truth remains
The truth lives on
