Shatter the Prophet
Lyrics
Saints speak the omen
It's time for the chosen
To lead the broken
Atonement, tempered by sin
Splinters, when the truth gets in
Vanity's mouth speaks for ignorant ears
That happily drown in their saccharine tears
Lost, here they lie. The toothless who claim
An eye for eye, An endless charade
We have dreamed of a future, a final escape
A final escape
We must carve out the tumour
Of heaven's embrace
Of heaven's embrace
Pity the fool who recites
The words of his God
Edicts bathed in fire
Consume reason as we applaud
All that's imagined is all that we see
Confirming our bias, affirming belief
Gardens and flowers and warm mellow breeze
When everything's perfect it's always a dream
When everything's perfect it's always a dream
It's always a dream
Crucify the faith, bloodied and forcefed
Smell the ashes of the hatred that we spread
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
What will it take to realise
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
We have dreamed of a future, a final escape
A final escape
We must carve out the tumour
Of heaven's embrace
I believe in a future
Our final escape
Our final escape
We must shatter
The prophets
And live for today
Live for today
Saints speak the omen
It's time for the chosen
To lead the broken
Atonement, tempered by sin
Splinters, when the truth gets in
Vanity's mouth speaks for ignorant ears
That happily drown in their saccharine tears
Lost, here they lie. The toothless who claim
An eye for eye, An endless charade
We have dreamed of a future, a final escape
A final escape
We must carve out the tumour
Of heaven's embrace
Of heaven's embrace
Pity the fool who recites
The words of his God
Edicts bathed in fire
Consume reason as we applaud
All that's imagined is all that we see
Confirming our bias, affirming belief
Gardens and flowers and warm mellow breeze
When everything's perfect it's always a dream
When everything's perfect it's always a dream
It's always a dream
Crucify the faith, bloodied and forcefed
Smell the ashes of the hatred that we spread
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
What will it take to realise
They've sold a vicious lie for far too long
What will it take to realise there's
Something wrong
We have dreamed of a future, a final escape
A final escape
We must carve out the tumour
Of heaven's embrace
I believe in a future
Our final escape
Our final escape
We must shatter
The prophets
And live for today
Live for today
