Bleed the Faith

Verse 1:

Sanctified in shadows, draped in velvet lies

Silver tongues preaching through dead men’s eyes

Scriptures twisted just to fit the throne

You sell salvation but you die alone

Golden altars built on shattered backs

Promise heaven while you count the stacks

Holy water mixed with guilt and shame

Every prayer just feeds the flame

Pre-Chorus:

Blindfolded martyrs on their knees

Swallowing chains they’ll never see

You call it truth — I call disease

A crown of thorns made out of greed

Chorus:

Bleed the faith — drain it dry

Watch your prophets testify

False gods hiding in plain sight

Selling darkness dressed as light

Bleed the faith — let it die

Hear the children’s battle cry

You built your heaven out of fear

Now your reckoning is here

Verse 2:

Robes of power soaked in sin

Let the ritual begin again

Confess your doubts, they’ll brand your name

And crucify you all the same

Idols carved from human need

Teach submission — plant the seed

Fall in line and don’t resist

Or taste the wrath behind the kiss

Pre-Chorus:

You baptize hate in holy names

Fuel the wars and fan the flames

Divide the weak, control the tame

Then call it love — in god’s name

Chorus:

Bleed the faith — drain it dry

Watch your prophets testify

False gods hiding in plain sight

Selling darkness dressed as light

Bleed the faith — let it die

Hear the children’s battle cry

You built your heaven out of fear

Now your reckoning is here

Breakdown (slow — crushing)

No more saints

No more lies

No more watching children die

No more guilt

No more chains

No more drowning in your shame

Rip the halo from your head

Feed the flock your sacred dread

Your divinity is dead

You made a god

In your own image

Now watch it bleed

Final Chorus:

Bleed the faith — watch it fall

See the cracks inside it all

Every sermon, every scar

Showed us who you really are

Bleed the faith — hear the screams

Shatter all your holy dreams

Truth was buried underneath

Now we rise — and bleed the faith
