Why do we only call Your name when theres no one else to call?
And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
Why do we say Youve failed us and Youve turned Your eyes away
When were only sleeping in the bed we made?
Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
Whys the path weve made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
Whyd we ignore the warnings that weve read and always known
And get angry when we reap the things weve sown?
So we blame You
Cause our worlds not come out right
While the devils masquerading
As an angel of the light
Just imagine
All the pride and all the nerve
To ask where Youve been, when were the ones we serve
Its not a mystery, its been foretold
But we ignored the warning bell so long ago
Theres a way that seems right unto men, but well die with the wages of sin
As the world lies bleeding
The giant is no longer sleeping
Poisoned harvest reaping
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
Gone
We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say
Then curse the skies when You dont come clean up the ugly mess weve made
But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said
We just ignored the pile of bodies and the bloodstains on the bed
Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control
As the world lies bleeding
The giant is no longer sleeping
All weve sown now reaping
Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
See us Our promised land of milk and honey
Became a land of filth and money
Like Babylon and Rome before
A land of greed and sin and guilt, a stained and scarlet whore
See us Living in our ivory towers
Self-appointed kings with no power
Built a monument to man
Were passing down empty decrees like a disease across the land
[Solo: Val]
This is the system weve created
This is the world so devastated
This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
This is the monster now awakened
This is our legacy creation
This is the place we end up when we say that we can do this on our own
This is our masterpiece: corruption
This is our monument: destruction
Game point of life and death, the nadir of existence painted black
This is the road the Hell weve wandered
This is inheritance weve squandered
So raise a glass to all weve lost and wonder if well ever get it back
Nations calling Our will be done, mankind answers to no one
But now it has begun In death, our sin hath borne a son
Please forgive us for weve only made it worse
Even after You had warned us
Sin would only bring a curse
Guess we knew better so we went a different way
Now were only sleeping in the bed we made
All the glory and the power left this place
When we turned our backs upon You
And chose to live in our disgrace
But You warned us
And You let us have our way
Now were only drowning in the mess we made
Blood on our hands
