Privileged and pious
Another hypocrite swelling with affiance
Handing out judgement like charity
A fool's act of defiance
Relish in restitution
The gold scapegoat for a revolution
Clouded by clarity
Why blame yourself when you can blame a deity?
It's like a broken record
The heavens weep at the great repeat
A collapse of morality leads to the
Greed of man, and you bow at the false idol's feet
Not a rejection of a higher power
Repudiation of the human kings
There must be a reward for a life of good
There must be an answer for everything
It's like a broken record
The heavens weep at the great repeat
A collapse of morality leads to the
Greed of man, and you bow to the feet
What a disgrace this is
A mockery of what the angel built
No signs of deep remorse
No indication of guilt
I'm turning my back on this heresy
Only memories remain of such a sacred place
I shall exist to reflect the buried truth
The sin of spite is my saving grace.
