Grace was just a garnish. The lambs look better on a plate. No sermon. No savior. Just our hunger... You weren't saved. You were preserved. Ecclesiastical-drastical-fable-erasure Canonical-mechanical-faith-is-a-cage-and-you-praise-it Brand on the hand like a debt you inherit Liturgy jittery bitter-sweet trick Misery sold as a cure for the sick Built you a cage out of light called it home Locked from the inside you polished their throne Cortex-crunching I break what you brought me Bone-meal-munching I eat what it cost me Body and blood yeah I took it literal Bit through the myth and it tasted like ritual They built you a prison of neon and called it the light, Then sold you the misery to keep you from putting up a fight You’re locked in a cell with a key that you’re holding yourself Polishing thrones for the bastards who’re stacking the wealth I pulled the trigger And watched the holy die Now he's finally quiet Quiet Fucking silent They told you to fast To keep your spirit light. They just didn't want you Developing an appetite. Say amen Break again Kiss the blade Call it friend Say amen Break again Kiss the blade Call it friend No more shepherd We learned to butcher No more sheep We became the hunger You fed the fear We fed the teeth Break the halo Hear it crack No more secrets No more sheep Just teeth No more shepherd No more sheep No more secrets left to keep Just teeth No more shepherd No more sheep No more secrets left to keep Just teeth Baptized in acid you helped them pour Sanctified silence you guarded the door Called it a devil to bury the shame Then fed it in secret and called it a name They branded the hunger and called it a vice Kept all the honey and nectar on ice Rot in the root but you watered the tree Don't blame the system you're feeding it me I'm the itch under everything you won't face I'm the scream that you swallowed in place Altar is just a high-end buffet Lamb is the only thing dying today Master is plastic you needed the lie You didn't believe you just needed a why Hands up high Heads down low Pray it works Watch me grow No more shepherd We learned to butcher No more sheep We became the hunger You fed the fear We fed the teeth Break the halo Hear it crack No more secrets No more sheep Just teeth No more shepherd No more sheep No more secrets left to keep Just teeth No more shepherd No more sheep No more secrets left to keep Just teeth They told you Your body was a battlefield They were right They just didn't tell you You were both sides They sold you their made up fucking war You ever notice God only talks When you're quiet He isn't waiting for you to listen He's waiting for you to stop resisting So we're gonna scream Till he fucking bleeds Till he bleeds Till he bleeds Till he bleeds The shepherd is broken The altar is bare And the lambs exposed to the wolves No more shepherd We learned to butcher No more sheep No more secrets left to keep No more sheep No more secrets left to keep Just teeth Just teeth Just teeth
