lyrics

flames reach high, scorching the clouds
thrones of gods licked by the sun
here’s the might, the power of word
bend the will, sharpen the blindness
lead them to the light, show the only truth
your god is right, your god is right
you’re at the gate, your faith is right
hide your voices, mask your dreams
the storm is very near
blow your candles, burn your scripts
these walls can see and hear
just like a giant rocking the world
a new revelation, a demolishing word
pull down the faces older than time
what was a virtue is now a crime
worshipped and cursed
whatever you believed in a whisper in the ash
whoever gave you wisdom a prophet in a cage
faith reeks torture
flames reach high, scorching the clouds
faces of gods in the dust of time
here’s the might, the power of unfaith
vicious blow on what was once a law
