"The Grand Delusion" lyrics

"The Grand Delusion"

Deep in holy water you are feeding our beast with blood
Calling it redemption, an illusion that you need like a drug

Atrocities carved on every page
Each line a spark for new wars of faith
Leaving this mark, our world in the dark of this tale up to this age

Tribal Poison
Judgment by dead men
Stolen voices
Our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more

Stoning every freedom, for it's leaving you terrified
Hiding behind veils, dehumanized, misogynist paradise

This old defence, morality
Needs heaven's hand and hell revealed
But all I see - your hungry beast on a leash

Tribal Poison
Judgment by dead men
Stolen voices
Our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more

Tribal Poison
Judgment by dead men
Stolen voices
Our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more
Just one more lie!

Face of mankind
Mask of heaven
Face of mankind
Crown of terror

Agendas turned into stories
Gaslighting for centuries
By-product of children's primal trust
Abused and twisted to horrors
While few kept reason burning bright
To overcome
This Grand delusion

Tribal Poison
Judgment by dead men
Stolen voices
Our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more

Tribal Poison
Judgment by dead men
Stolen voices
Our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more
Just one more lie!
