Intro/Build-up (Whispered/spoken over atmospheric intro) They promised you salvation They promised you the light But in the darkness you're still waiting For a sign that never comes Verse 1 Bow down to hollow idols made of flesh and bone Empty vessels preaching lies from golden thrones Your faith is bleeding through the cracks you try to hide While prophets count their silver, let your spirit die The altars crumble underneath the weight of sin False messiahs selling hope with plastic grins You gave them everything, your mind, your soul, your gold But their scripture's just a story that was never told Pre-Chorus (Building intensity) Wake up! Can't you see? This manufactured deity! Break free! From their chains! Nothing sacred now remains! Chorus This is the failure of your gods! Bleeding out on crosses made of fraud! This is the failure of your gods! Your heaven's just a lie they sold! The failure of your gods! The failure of your gods! Verse 2 Cathedral walls are painted red with innocent blood Confessionals hide the sins beneath the flood They speak of judgment while they feast on children's tears Building kingdoms on foundations made of fear Your prayers echo in the void, no one's listening While holy men count money, diamond glistening The book you worship, written by the hands of men Who sought control, not truth, again and again Pre-Chorus Wake up! Can't you see? This manufactured deity! Break free! From their chains! Nothing sacred now remains! Chorus This is the failure of your gods! Bleeding out on crosses made of fraud! This is the failure of your gods! Your heaven's just a lie they sold! The failure of your gods! The failure of your gods! Bridge/Breakdown Section (Slower, heavier breakdown) Kneel before your broken savior Taste the poison that they gave ya Every miracle's a magic trick Every blessing makes you sick (Building back up) When the smoke clears from your eyes You'll see through all their fucking lies! When the curtain falls away There's nothing left for you to pray! Solo Section (Instrumental - heavy guitar solo over rhythmic backing) Verse 3 (Aggressive, fast) Now the temple's burning down around your feet The false prophets running naked in the street Your congregation's screaming out in agony As they realize they've been living fantasy The promised land was just a desert full of bones Paradise was built on slaves and stolen homes Your resurrection never came, it never will The only god you'll find is in the pills Final Chorus (Extended) This is the failure of your gods! Bleeding out on crosses made of fraud! This is the failure of your gods! Your heaven's just a lie they sold! This is the failure! (The failure!) Of your gods! (Your gods!) This is the failure! (The failure!) Of your gods! (Your gods!) Outro/Breakdown (Slow, heavy, spoken/screamed) In the end When the lights go out And the silence screams You'll know the truth Your gods Have failed you Your gods Never existed Your gods Were just Men (Final heavy hit) THE FAILURE OF YOUR GODS!
