Funeral For Innocence

Faith is a lie that scorns the pain inflicted by those who care
Hope is a dream that fades away in the watches of the night
Love is a lie that drips from a whore, told in the name of God
I curse in the mud, covered in filth, waiting alone for death

I call your name
I scream in pain
I survive
The loss of faith
Hear my cry
My tears burn
I believe
Without faith

They bury you in rotten soil, never to rise again
They curse the day that you were born and dance upon your grave
The secrets they keep, the lies they tell, all for glittering gold
I long for the day when you'll rise up and crush their filthy souls

Rise child, rise
Spread your wings
Fly away
Resurrection
New beginning

Avenging God, hear my cry and see that they have done
A palace of greed, a temple defamed, an alter made unclean
Why the they mock you, why do they curse, breaking your heart?
They curse your grace, spit on your name and silent you remain
