intro [Slow, Reverberant] [Instrumentation: Organ, soft electric guitar, slow steady beat] [Verse 1] [Deep Baritone male vocal, Slow church rock, solemn, emotional] They handed us a story Said it came from long ago Painted heaven with a fall Like they were there to know We drank it with the water We sang it with the songs Never asked who wrote the line Or if the line was wrong [Deep Baritone, Pre-Chorus] [Build up, accelerating, crescendo] Something in me started shaking Something would not sit still [Chorus] [Baritone lead with deep bass backing vocals, Fast, Heavy rock, High energy] [Instrumentation: Driving drums, distorted guitar, fast tempo] We inherited lies Passed down like gold Told as if forever But the seal would not hold Pull the curtain, let the light in Let the false word die We will not keep inheriting What was never true inside [Verse 2] [Deep Baritone, Tempo drop, return to slow church rock] They said he fell from glory With a third of all the lights But the book that comes the closest Frames it as a sign in the heights After churches can be shaken After lamps can leave their place Then the war is shown in heaven And the blood rewrites the case [Deep Baritone, Pre-Chorus] Not by sword and not by boasting By the blood the victory stands [Chorus] We inherited lies Passed down like gold Told as if forever But the seal would not hold Pull the curtain, let the light in Let the false word die We will not keep inheriting What was never true inside [Bridge] Truth is not a chain they forged Truth is not a borrowed tale When the lie is finally broken Every captive breathes and stands Overcome — not by our power By the blood upon the Lamb What they sold us as the story Cannot silence who I am [Final Chorus] We inherited lies But we will not stay sold Tear the paper from the altar Let the living word unfold Pull the curtain, let the light in Let the false word die We will not keep inheriting What was never true inside [Outro] No more inheriting lies No more swallowing the dark If it was not from the beginning It will not own our hearts
