The Blind

Verse 1
They walk with candles pressed to hollow eyes,
Following voices in the smoke-filled skies.
They chant the words they never understand,
Scriptures slipping like dust through their hands.
The faithful march in circles ’round the pyre,
Blind to the truth, but calling themselves “higher.”
They swallow every sermon, every scarlet lie—
While pointing at the lost they never tried to understand why.

Pre-Chorus
They whisper like prophets,
But they’re shadows in disguise…
Casting sin like ashes
With judgment in their eyes.

Chorus
The blind faithful follow,
But curse the faithless below—
Throwing stones with trembling hands,
Pretending they still glow.
You act high and mighty
As your false crown slowly dies,
Sitting like a tyrant
On your throne of rusted lies.

Verse 2
They wear their halos forged in borrowed flame,
But every blessing drips with guilt and shame.
They preach of heaven while their hearts decay,
Fogged by the smoke of the truths they push away.
They call the doubters wicked, call the wanderers damned—
But their own reflection they can’t even withstand.
If purity is power, then why do they hide
Behind walls of fear, behind twisted pride?

Pre-Chorus
They say they’re the chosen,
But the darkness never dies…
The light they claim to follow
Is the mask they weaponize.

Chorus
The blind faithful follow,
But curse the faithless below—
Throwing stones with trembling hands,
Pretending they still glow.
You act high and mighty
As your false crown slowly dies,
Sitting like a tyrant
On your throne of rusted lies.

Bridge
You cast sin over the faithless…
But your hands aren’t clean.
You choke on holy water
While calling yourself redeemed.
You close your eyes to reason,
Close your heart to every plea—
But judgment burns the loudest
In those who won’t even see.

Final Chorus
The blind faithful follow,
But their shadows lead the way—
Lost inside the doctrines
They repeat but can’t obey.
You act high and mighty
As your false crown slowly dies…
The kingdom you’ve imagined
Was built on fear… and lies.
