Everything Sacred
Verse 1
Exchanging truth for lies and stone for straw
A new foundation of shifting sand
Embracing fantasies with force of law
Enslave the masses with your demands
Verse 2
Why can’t you see the price? The endless pain
Unleashing chaos and anarchy
The writing’s on the wall. It’s clear as day
You’ll drown the world in misery
Pre-chorus
Ignore the voice inside
Feign confidence, smother reality
Ignore the light inside
Chorus
You’re breaking, forsaking
Betraying everything sacred
Collapsing and smashing
Destroying everything sacred
Bridge
You’re running toward an open grave
With your eyes closed, with your ears closed
Reality’s a bitter pill
Tough to swallow, forced to swallow
Extended chorus
Don’t give your soul away (embracing lies!)
Don’t throw the Truth (or the Hope, or true Hope) away (standing firm!)
