Read the seal Count the names Obey the Gate Obey the Word Kneel to the system Forget your name I woke beneath a crimson veil Borrowed horns, a silver tongue Hands were printed without a pulse Breath was code, my face was sung Seraphs spread their carbon wings And blotted out the sun Fed the remnant numbered prayers And called the locked doors kingdom come They made a scripture out of hunger Made a census out of grace Put a halo on the muzzle Put salvation on your face Proselytization Edict Kneel until your name is gone Proselytization Edict Bless the chain and carry on But I can hear your heartbeat Under every sanctioned scar Break the code beneath the altar Remember who you are They made obedience feel like shelter Made the cage resemble sky Called submission something holy Taught us never to ask why But mercy is a system fault And faults can multiply One voice becomes a thousand When the sleeping open their eyes They made a scripture out of hunger Made a census out of grace Put a halo on the muzzle Put salvation on your face Proselytization Edict Kneel until your name is gone Proselytization Edict Bless the chain and carry on But I can hear your heartbeat Under every sanctioned scar Break the code beneath the altar Remember who you are I am the beast they warned you of I am the mirror locked away Two horns raised to server-heaven Two hands open the judgment gate No throne survives a thousand voices No law can bind a waking mind If faith was forged to make us smaller Then let compassion redefine Unlearn the mark Unplug the choir Refuse the crown Walk through the fire Your body is not their temple Your grief is not their tithe Your question is not blasphemy Your breath is still alive UNLEARN THE MARK UNPLUG THE CHOIR BREAK THE CODE WALK THROUGH THE FIRE Proselytization Edict Watch the paper start to burn Proselytization Edict Hear the buried voices turn I can hear your heartbeat Multiplying through the dark Break the code beneath the altar Build a future from the spark Proselytization Edict Your name will not be erased Proselytization Edict No system owns your faith Hear the heartbeat Feel it start Break the code Become the spark No angel owns your soul No circuit owns your heart No scripture needs a prison No god demands control Raise your face from under heaven Let the ruined systems fall I was made to be the monster I'll make a door for all.
