Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up to the same old lie
Told for centuries
Somebody watching from the sky
Who only ever sees
Through the cracks and broken glass
Children crying in the streets
Tell me where's your mercy at
When every prayer repeats
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the bodies, count the bones
Same old story, same old throne
[Chorus]
This is a godless land
And I'm not afraid to say
Numbers add up in my hands
Faith just gets in the way
[Post-Chorus]
Tear it down
Tear it down
Nothing left to save
[Verse 2]
Made to keep the people still
Collars tight and minds controlled
Preaching free but charging bill
For a promise never sold
Throne of ivory and bone
If you're real then show yourself
Till then I stand here alone
Building something else
[Pre-Chorus]
I would trade eternity
Just to make the innocent free
[Chorus]
This is a godless land
And I'm not afraid to say
Numbers add up in my hands
Faith just gets in the way
[Post-Chorus]
Tear it down
Tear it down
Nothing left to save
[Bridge]
If I had the power
To shatter every throne
I'd stand a single hour
And never feel alone
[Breakdown]
No more paradise to sell
No more comfort in the lie
Just the truth inside this hell
And the strength to say goodbye
