I am shown a wealth purpose
To view the other side without disdain
Your time’s borrowed and undeserving
Hollow words ring throughout my own head

They sing a dreadful melody, and all will hear them
I speak now to listen and understand
This is a way, way out of madness
This is your, burning effigy
I cannot stand, pure reprisal
These words are lost without you

Praise the old mighty, rusty thorns
In time that is now forgotten, resurrect
I deem decrepit and crumbling
Golden halls of holiness, turn to dust

Dead rhetoric and words unspoken, have you seen this?
They claim their rights by the father, purity’s disposal
This is a way, way out of madness
This is your, burning effigy
I cannot stand, pure reprisal
These words are lost without you

I am shown a wealth purpose
To view the other side without disdain
Your time’s borrowed and undeserving
Hollow words ring throughout my own head

They sing a dreadful melody, and all will hear them
I speak now to listen and understand
This is a way, way out of madness
This is your, burning effigy
I cannot stand, pure reprisal
These words are lost without you
