Thieves

You said that you would bury us
Break our backs and turn us into dust
You are breaking the boundary of your own existence
Did you think it would fall so fast?
What is this but some weak resistance
Or a lie that could never last?
They cry redemption with closed lips
So all we hear is the silence
Holy were we once, and holy will we be
I did not come for your questions
I came looking for peace

A conviction that's pushing us into the ground
It's enough to bleed out the weak and offer hope for none
You gave up everything
You're a traitor to your own faith
Your progress, it follows a humble step
I'll unchain your lies in a single breath
Every open wound can be taken away
Every single word will mean nothing to me
You've forgotten who you are
You forgot what you came for, take it back!
