lyrics

[Justin]
The sins of the father
Negligence to which we curse
Heresy
has bounded him to his thorn'd crown

Abandonment
Fill the void which tears within
Silence from the lamb
I’ll use your voice as mine

[Riley and Kyle]
Walls crumble down
Next to this confession
Abide to drown
As I ask this question

Why does it matter
This pain persists
Why does it matter
I can't resist

[Justin]
Hypocrisy
Preaching peace to helpless pawns
Profitier a loss of life
As you suspend your disbelief

Hypocrisy
I blame thee for the bloodshed
Blessing bombs, for your gain
Shame to the scum of earth

[Riley and Kyle]
Walls crumble down
Next to this confession
Abide to drown
As I ask this question

Why does it matter
This pain persists
Why does it matter
I can't resist

[Justin, Kyle, and Riley]
Without You I’m Helpless
Without You I’m Lost
Without You I’m Empty
Without You I’m Lost

I’ll Feed This Beast [Justin and Ryan]

[Justin]
Your prayers will go unanswered
Your shallow faith devoid
Your actions go unnoticed
To an unforgiving void

No saviour on the horizon
Like an ever empty creche
And while you worship stardust
You neglect your brethren’s flesh

[Kyle]
I neglect my brethren's flesh

[Justin]
Abide to drown, forgo uncertainty
Reclaim your throne
Abide to drown, forgo uncertainty
Reclaim your throne

Lyrics by Justin Smith and Riley Garrett
