Altar Ego Lyrics by Fault Lines

Quiet Sickness

0

[Intro Sample]

[Intro]
Set your body ablaze
May you worship in flames
Become a martyr for your god

[Verse 1]
I saw them beg for shelter
I saw the change in you
As they swore you their souls
So you could empty their pockets

[Pre-Chorus]
You bartered the souls of the faithful
Your golden castle was built on their bones

[Chorus]
You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting
The greatest sin of the apostate is
They wanted to be like you

[Verse 2]
I felt their pangs of hunger
I hеard them praying for relief
As you еmptied your halls
To make more room for your feast

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You bartered the souls of the faithful
Your golden castle is built on their bones

[Chorus]
You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting
The greatest sin of the apostate is
They wanted to be like you

[Breakdown]
I can see right through you
Holy Ghost
A wolf in a wool overcoat
Altar Ego

[Chorus]
You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting
The greatest sin of the apostate is
They wanted to be like you
