lyrics

Buildings tower like monoliths
Pay for sins I didn't commit
Solemn but stoic to the name you bear
I looked away while the whole world stared

Gave a rib, opened up the garden
Salt the earth, act like you're a martyr
Stolen fruit, burn trees from where they grow
Hollow truths in the seeds you've sewn

Powerless
A lapse in judgement turns to lack of empathy
Powerless
You shine so bright for a sun in blood moon skies

Buildings tower like obelisks
Wish that you'd pay for the sins that I've watched you commit
Forged from molds gods have cast away
Foreseen mistakes they've already made

Self titled paragon, won't give you what you want
No love for something lost nailed to a burning cross
