"False Prophet" lyrics

"False Prophet"

You promised water in the desert
You sold the sky for a fee
You dressed your hunger up as healing
Tried to put your chains on me

You call it destiny
I call it dealing
You call it blessing
I see the scheme
You say you talk for something holy
But I can hear you selling me a dream

False prophet
I see you
Dancing in a golden shrine
You talk about heaven
While you're breaking hearts

False prophet
I see you
I see you
I see you there

You hide your fear in verses
You hide your greed in a smile
You turn their pain into a paycheck
You clap and count all the while

You say "come closer
I can save ya"
But your hands still smell like smoke
You built your throne on broken bodies
Now feel the power of the ones you broke

False prophet
I see you
Dancing in a golden shrine
You talk about heaven
While you're breaking hearts

False prophet
I hear you
Every word a twisted prayer
I won't bow
Won't follow
I won't breathe your poisoned air

False prophet
I see you
I see you
I see you there

I've been quiet too long
Now my heart beats like a drum
Every step
Every breath
Saying "watch me as I run"

Run from your stage
Your story
Run from your promised throne
You can keep all of your glory
I'm taking back my soul

False prophet
I see you
Dancing in a golden shrine
You talk about heaven
While you're breaking hearts

False prophet
I see you
I see you
I see you there
