Title: Idols of Doom Verse 1 We raised a city out of glare, A glass-built gospel in the air. One throne to script the common breath, One feed to preach a sweeter death. We carved our comfort, forged our creed, And made our hunger law and need. Chrome-lit saints in cold parade Blessed every bargain that we made. Pre-Chorus We drank the glow, denied the Flame— And crowned our idols in His name. Chorus (HOOK) Idols of doom in radiant bloom, Lighting the dark like a polished tomb. Babylon shining, brilliant and wide, Selling a heaven hollow inside. Crowded in noise yet sealed in a room, Kneeling in love to the idols of doom. So bright, so vast, so fatally fair— No steel-made heart can breathe a prayer. (Post-Chorus Harmony Tag) (2–3 part) Idols of doom… idols of doom… No steel-made heart can breathe a prayer. Verse 2 A ruler rose with velvet speech, A global peace within his reach. A wonder-worker at his side Cast mirrored fire, sanctified. The image spoke; the masses swayed, A market-faith in circuits laid. Seven years like iron rain Measured the pulse of the chain. Pre-Chorus We called it freedom, crowned it new, While judgment gathered into view. Chorus Idols of doom in radiant bloom, Fragrant with promise, flowering ruin. We traded the warm for glittering stone, And named the machine a love of our own. Crowded in noise yet sealed in a room, Married in silence to idols of doom. So smooth, so near, so empty of air— No coded kiss can make us whole. Bridge Trumpets split the wired sky, Seals unbound and veils torn high. Wrath like fire on towers fell On gilded gates of living hell. No forged messiah crowned in chrome Can steal the throne that stands alone. The breath He gave, the soul He sealed, Outlives the lie the screens concealed. Build From dust He shaped the human flame, And called each beating heart by name. What He has spoken time can’t exhume— No empire outlives idols of doom. Final Chorus Idols of doom began to fade, Their shining temples unmade. Babylon cracked beneath the cry Of truth no darkness could deny. Through smoke and ash His light was shown: “The life I breathed is Mine alone.” Where false lights fall and shadows loom, Still stands His word beyond their doom. Outro When radiant idols turn to dust, In Him alone we place our trust.
