HOLY FLESH €.1

[Intro] Let the temple fall to dust Let the false shepherds run and hide The wings they tried to clip and break Are finally opening wide No more kneeling in the dark No more poison on the tongue The children are waking up And our real song has just begun Someone help me Someone help me I choke on gold and grace Someone help me Someone help me I won't kneel to that face [Verse 1] The child with wings is me And you, poor children too Only peace is faith, they said With bruises sewn in blue Oh mama, my throat and hips hurt From kneeling too long there The holy man spoke soft as silk But I smelled iron in the air [Verse 2] I want the words the saint once kept Locked behind his tongue Not the sermon, not the chain Not the poison sung I crawl through the Bible lines With a magnifying glass Hunting for a whisper That can cut me free at last But every page feels crowded With the hands that left the mark And his blood-red figure follows me Right through the dark [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Be clean, be small" While I shook in my skin A wolf in wool and candle smoke Calling sin a hymn I watched his shadow stretch Across the table's stain And something old inside me Turned my prayer into pain [Chorus] Someone help me Someone help me I choke on gold and grace Someone help me Someone help me I can't forget his face (Help me) (The child with wings is me) [Post-Chorus] He said, "Trust me, child" But trust was just a door Now every silver promise Rings like a closing floor I bend but do not break I spit out every lie If heaven wants my silence Then heaven has to try [Pre-Bridge] The holy trinity is a distant bell That rings across a frozen sky While heaven is a luxury Where broken little bodies lie I taste the sacrament like ash A bitter pill of polished stone They feed us poison wrapped in light And leave the bleeding lambs alone [Bridge] Oh, religion, greatest sin When man sits on the throne A shepherd mask, a wolf's own grin A pasture made of stone Still I hear a quiet saint Alive in all the shade Not loud, not crowned, not praised by crowds But never once betrayed [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Be clean, be small" While I shook in my skin A wolf in wool and candle smoke Calling sin a hymn I watched his shadow stretch Across the table's stain And something old inside me Turned my prayer into pain [Chorus] Someone help me Someone help me I choke on gold and grace Someone help me Someone help me I can't forget his face (Help me) (The child with wings is me) [Post-Chorus] He said, "Trust me, child" But trust was just a door Now every silver promise Rings like a closing floor I bend but do not break I spit out every lie If heaven wants my silence Then heaven has to try [Verse 3] I carve the silence with my nails To find the savior who is real Not the idol in the golden frame That taught my infant bones to kneel The quiet one who never spoke Whose mercy doesn't need a crown I’d rather burn in open truth Than let their holy weight weigh me down [Verse 4] They built an empire out of fear And called the iron cage a home A playground for the wolves of god Who tear us down to build the dome I want the truth that heals the wound Not words that make the spirit bleed I want a God who wears no mask And answers what my heart calls need [Verse 5] I wipe the holy water off, it only left a scar [Pre-Climax] The shadows whisper secrets now Of every soul they tried to tame We are the ghosts of broken shrines That learned to laugh at every name They locked the truth behind a vault And threw away the silver key But freedom smells like burning chains And air that belongs to me [Climax] Let the temple fall to dust Let the false shepherds run and hide The wings they tried to clip and break Are finally opening wide No more kneeling in the dark No more poison on the tongue The children are waking up And our real song has just begun [Pre-Chorus] He said, "Be clean, be small" While I shook in my skin A wolf in wool and candle smoke Calling sin a hymn I watched his shadow stretch Across the table's stain And something old inside me Turned my prayer into pain [Chorus] Someone help me Someone help me I choke on gold and grace Someone help me Someone help me I can't forget his face (Help me) (The child with wings is me) [Post-Chorus] He said, "Trust me, child" But trust was just a door Now every silver promise Rings like a closing floor I bend but do not break I spit out every lie If heaven wants my silence Then heaven has to try [Pre-Outro] So let the altars turn to ash The holy theater has to fall I am the sky they tried to cage I am the voice beyond the wall No more fading in the dark No more trembling at the seam The child with wings has risen up To rewrite the broken dream [Outro] Someone help me Someone help me I choke on gold and grace Someone help me I won't kneel to that face (Help me) (The child with wings is me) Someone help me Someone help me I choose the silent saint Someone help me Till fear lets go its chain (The child with wings is me)
