False Crown

[Breakdown] [Verse 1] Your pure heart beats with devotion so blind I clothe myself in light to ease your troubled mind With honeyed words I lead you down this path Such perfect faith - I almost want to laugh Through centuries I've worn this pristine mask "Trust in me," I say, "Don't dare to ask" You reach for heaven but grasp my waiting hand I am the poison flowing through this promised land [Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Post-chorus] (Fall down, fall down) Watch them fall down (Break now, break now) Watch them break now [Verse 2] Holy in darkness Deception brings victory Gullible mortals Following blindly [Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Breakdown] False! Watch them fall! Pray! To nothing at all! (We see through the lies!) Rise! Watch them crawl! Die! As their kingdoms fall! [Bridge - Rap] Listen close as I confess my art of deception Been perfecting my craft since human inception Every temple raised high, I was there in the stone Every prayer whispered soft, I made your faith my throne Split your mind with doubt while preaching unity Turned your brothers to foes preaching community Every war that you fought in some deity's name Was me pulling the strings in this fucking game Your desperation for meaning feeds my power Your need for salvation makes your soul turn sour I've been the saint, the savior, the holy ghost The one you trust and fear and need the most [Final Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Breakdown] Kneel! Before your false divinity! Crawl! Through the ashes of your beliefs! Die! As your faith burns away! Rise! From the ruin of your shattered creed! See! The truth that lies beneath! Claim! The power that was always yours! Reign! As the god they could never be! [Drop] [Breakdown] [Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Post-chorus] (Fall down, fall down) Watch them fall down (Break now, break now) Watch them break now [Breakdown] Kneel! Before your false divinity! Crawl! Through the ashes of your beliefs! Die! As your faith burns away! Rise! From the ruin of your shattered creed! See! The truth that lies beneath! Claim! The power that was always yours! Reign! As the god they could never be! [Final Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Final Chorus] Your salvation was my greatest lie! Bow down and watch your truth die! I wear the crown of grace you gave to me The only way evil succeeds is disguised as sanctity! [Post-chorus] (Fall down, fall down) Watch them fall down (Break now, break now) Watch them break now [End]
