The Weight of Hypocrisy
lyric
[Verse]
The echoes scream from the ancient hills
Voices sharp as broken steel
They'd cheer the nails through sacred hands
Blind to love they can't understand
[Verse 2]
They preach of light yet cast a shade
A world of lies their hands have made
They shatter homes and call it just
Grinding souls into the dust
[Chorus]
Oh the weight of hypocrisy
It drowns the cries of the free
Children weep while they turn away
Their hearts of stone won't break today
[Verse 3]
Liberty shackled to their chains
While innocence is drenched in pain
They claim the cross but miss the sign
Love was never meant to blind
[Bridge]
And I’m so tired of their charade
The twisted games their power played
They’d cheer the fall of a righteous man
To build their kingdom on sinking sand
[Chorus]
Oh the weight of hypocrisy
It drowns the cries of the free
Children weep while they turn away
Their hearts of stone won't break today
