The Grand Delusion
Xandria
Deep in holy water you are feeding our beast with blood
Calling it redemption, an illusion that you need like a drug
Atrocities carved on every page
Each line a spark for new wars of faith
Leaving this mark, our world in the dark
Of this tale up to this age
Tribal poison, judgment by dead men
Stolen voices, our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more
Stoning every freedom, for it's leaving you terrified
Hiding behind veils, dehumanized, misogynist paradise
This old defence
Morality needs heaven's hand and hell revealed
But all I see, your hungry beast on a leash
Tribal poison, judgment by dead men
Stolen voices, our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more
Tribal poison, judgment by dead men
Stolen voices, our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more lie
Face of mankind
Mask of heaven
Face of mankind
Crown of terror
Agendas turned into stories
Gaslighting for centuries
By-product of children's primal trust
Abused and twisted to horrors
While few kept reason burning bright
To overcome this grand delusion
Tribal poison, judgment by dead men
Stolen voices, our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more
Tribal poison, judgment by dead men
Stolen voices, our sacred divide
Peaceful only when not in power
Just one more lie
Face of mankind
Mask of heaven
Face of mankind
Crown of terror
