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.
