Lines carved into stone A regal voice speaks clear Power through fear Preach and obey thy code We hold a book on high Hypocritical lies We can fly without their wings I've never had time for imaginary things Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Kneel, sword or the cross Oppress those who deny Your belief is right Time manipulates and hides The truth we've slowly lost And at what cost We can fly without their wings I've never had time for imaginary things Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Streets of gold they're tarnished and bare Violated and desecrated Widespread warfare, savage nightmare Humanity endangered, biblical failure Rise and be reborn Embrace eternal life But at what price Crimes in the name of god So many millions died Self sacrifice Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Fallen, bleeding, broken in the shadow of the cross Fallen, bleeding, a system now broken Streets of gold they're tarnished and bare Violated and desecrated
