The Collapse

[Intro] “We stand here today…to honor the beginning of the world…” “The collapse is upon us…let’s all thank our gods…” [Verse 2] We were just children…playing execution… We tried…figuring out what they called “gods solution”... And we begged for mercy…thinking it would bring us absolution… But we are still standing in the remnants…of a sinner’s dissolution… [Pre-Chorus] Bury me…beneath the altar… Where his forgiveness used to be… I drank the blood of every promise… That he made but couldn’t keep… (AHHHHHHHHHHH) [Chorus] What happened to the hands that healed the broken? Why did they become the ones that pushed us down? When did salvation become a weapon? When did the cross become a crown? I don’t blame the god they prayed to… I blame the mouths that ruined his name… The ones who built their kingdoms from our suffering… And washed their sins away with shame… Because the greatest tragedy of faith… Was what we did when we claimed we were the ones… [Verse 2] We were just believers…following voices of revelation… We trusted the shepherds…who led us into devastation… And we gave them our hearts…through fear and manipulation… But we are still bleeding…from the wounds of their salvation… [Bridge] “Forgive us father, for what we’ve done in your name. For every heart that we broke, for every child we had blamed.” “Now we’re begging for a miracle from the very hands we chained…” [Pre-Chorus] Bury me…beneath the altar… Where his forgiveness used to be… I drank the blood of every promise… That he made but couldn’t keep… (AHHHHHHHHHHH) [Chorus/Outro] What happened to the hands that healed the broken? Why did they become the ones that pushed us down? When did salvation become a weapon? When did the cross become a crown? I don’t blame the god they prayed to… I blame the mouths that ruined his name… The ones who built their kingdoms from our suffering… And washed their sins away with shame… Because the greatest tragedy of faith… Was what we did when we claimed we were the ones…
