lyrics

Clutching at your crucifix
You beg and plead and cry and pray
Believing in a malignant disease
That’s said to protect humanity
Innocence ripped away
The beginning of the pain
The lies you believe do more damage
Than the sins you fight to avoid
But your faith has caused your suffering
The loathing of your own soul
Is more than you can handle
Hope for a cleansing
Upon deaf ears you plead your case
You’ll never find the answer
In a hollow empty idol
As skin is stripped
And muscles torn
And bone is turned to ash
This is a world without hope
Wrought with pain and loss
You’re damned to suffer
As you fall to your knees and pray
Scream for salvation
With no soul to surrender
Watch as you fall from grace
Desolation
Rejected since creation
Face the world
As Heaven crumbles away
All the agony and disease
The destruction and decay
The demise of your faith
Forsaken once again
This curse is carved in my heart
Now suffer
Clinging to your crucifix on your knees
Praying for redemption of your soul
Torn apart
Begging for forgiveness of your sins
Preservation without cause
Justified by a pious doctrine
Your desire for upliftment
Has bred your insanity
As you’re engulfed by hopelessness
Say goodbye to eternal joy
For when you breathe your last breath
You’ll find your Heaven burning
