[Intro] Pay to pray Pay to pray And all your sins Will wash away! [Verse 1] Polish the halo, shine the throne, Marble castles, hearts of stone. Holy whispers, corporate grin, Hide the cracks beneath the skin. Every scandal swept aside, Truth gets crucified by pride. [Chorus] Popes to please! Bow your head! Questions left for dead! Popes to please! Kiss the ring! Who profits from the holy king? [Verse 2] Incense drifting through the hall, Silence echoing off the wall. Golden robes and practiced smiles, Walking through denial in style. Mercy printed, justice leased, Power dressed up as a priest. [News Bulletin – Spoken] "Official statement..." "We regret..." "An internal review is underway..." "...Please remain faithful." [Bridge] Truth doesn't kneel. Power conceals. Money still talks. Conscience still walks. Break the disguise. Open your eyes. Nobody stands above the law. Nobody should be beyond the law. [Verse 3] Faith belongs to living hearts, Not to kingdoms built on parts. Every title fades away, Every empire meets decay. Lift the curtain, clear the smoke, Let the silence finally choke. [Chorus] Popes to please! Not today! Truth won't fade away! Popes to please! Not for me! No throne outranks humanity! [Outro - Spoken Dutch] Bedankt....voor het bloeden.....
