Altar of Control

Verse 1

Rooms fill with silence, caught in between

Promises I swore I'd keep unseen

Hands that once held the truth so near

Now broken by what I failed to hear

Chorus

Pain pulls me closer to the line

Worlds collapsing by design

We worship at the altar of control

Trading love for a wounded soul

Post-Chorus

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Verse 2

Questions linger, left unsaid

You read confessions painted red

I search for faith that can't be found

In prayers that never make a sound

Chorus

Pain pulls me closer to the line

Worlds collapsing by design

We worship at the altar of control

Trading love for a wounded soul

Post-Chorus

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Bridge

Dominion taken, forgiveness lost

Salvation weighs more than the cost

Sin or surrender, I’m torn apart

Understanding slips through my heart

Verse 3

You hold the answers behind your eyes

A battle waging, truth or lies

Passion and power, flawed and divine

Still searching for a reason, a sign

Chorus

Pain pulls me closer to the line

Worlds collapsing by design

We worship at the altar of control

Trading love for a wounded soul

Post-Chorus

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Hold my soul

Won't let go

Outro

Call my name into the world

Seeking meaning, hoping to learn

With every loss, every sin

I find the courage to begin
