The land that you were promised
Has crumbled by the stress and by the strain
The prophets that you follow
Turn into dust and blow away
All that's gold does not all shine
All that's weak won't last the night
Your last messiah walks away
We stood and woke and so did they
False idols in a different vein
A different love, a different name
Nothing ever stays the same
We stood and fought, and so did they
This lie is perfect
Framed and fractured
This lie is worth the
Sin you've captured
Kept your belief in this deceit
False idols underneath your feet
If you are anything at all
You'll learn to throw them to the wolves
Kept foreign sins in ivory towers
Steady arms and steady arrows
Kept broken clocks in crystal caskets
Begged for faith but couldn't stand it
Has crumbled by the stress and by the strain
The prophets that you follow
Turn into dust and blow away
All that's gold does not all shine
All that's weak won't last the night
Your last messiah walks away
We stood and woke and so did they
False idols in a different vein
A different love, a different name
Nothing ever stays the same
We stood and fought, and so did they
This lie is perfect
Framed and fractured
This lie is worth the
Sin you've captured
Kept your belief in this deceit
False idols underneath your feet
If you are anything at all
You'll learn to throw them to the wolves
Kept foreign sins in ivory towers
Steady arms and steady arrows
Kept broken clocks in crystal caskets
Begged for faith but couldn't stand it
