Dissent

Repent, hear the laments of the angel's weeping
 While you search for the lies worth keeping
 I don't know where I left my sanity
 Take my God
 I will not suffer silently
 Won't forfeit my mind to society
 Won't give myself up to your piety
 I'll stand here alone
 Resist you 'till I fall
 You're not my saviour
 Or my hope
 You didn't give me life
 Rip away, won't give in to your light
 It's a sin, they say, with serpent tongues
 Don't give in, they say, from porcelain thrones
 I'll tear away
 Won't take you at your righteous word
 Resist you 'till I fall
 You're not my saviour
 Or my hope
 You didn't give me life
 Rip away, won't give in to your light
 Tear down the altar and step out from your cage
 Take all your idols and push them far away
 Once you see that faith is an illusion for control
 You'll free your mind and elevate your soul
 With your dim and closing heart
 Sheltering the light from dark
 What was wrong will soon become right
 Unforgiving, merciful one
 Betraying sins
 In the truth you left behind
 Take it away
 This burden that you've given to me
 Dissent, dissent, dissent
 Tear down the altar and step out from your cage
 Take all your idols and push them far away
 Once you see that faith is an illusion for control
 You'll free your mind and elevate your soul
 Dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent
