Altars of their Hunger

[Verse 1] Born into chains Branded by flame Hands on my head Spitting their shame Book in his fist Gold on his throat Bleeding the poor While he’s kissing their hope He calls it love As he counts the tithes Smiles in silk While another child cries (cries) [Chorus] Tear down Altars of their hunger Blood crowns Rotting in their thunder Your god Drowns in what they cover Blind faith Feeds the needing of the lover Of power Of power Altars of their hunger [Verse 2] He sells forgiveness By the ounce By the lie Drinks from the wounds Of the ones who comply Eyes on confession Hands in the dark Saint in the daylight At night he leaves marks They own your shame Like a leash Like a chain They taste your fear Then they call it grace (grace) [Chorus] Tear down Altars of their hunger Blood crowns Rotting in their thunder Your god Drowns in what they cover Blind faith Feeds the needing of the lover Of power Of power Altars of their hunger [Bridge] I renounce your script I reject your throne I revoke your grip You don’t own my soul [Chorus] Tear down Altars of their hunger Blood crowns Rotting in their thunder Your god Drowns in what they cover Blind faith Feeds the needing of the lover Of power Of power Altars of their hunger (of power)
