lyrics

Her voice rings loud at the gates
“How long will you love your simple ways?
You avoid knowledge like a plague and remove the truth like a tumor”
The crowds gather to hear her speak
Gasp at the promises she makes
Death will come to us all
From the towers we build we’ll fall

Lie to me
Don’t you dare tell me to change
Lie to me
Just tell me it will all be okay
Lie to me
I don’t care what you have to say
Lie to me
Or just go away

We silenced her with our swords
And locked her away in the dirt
But her words still echo down my spine
I try to bury them too but they just won’t die

And so I build my tower
And ignore the resemblance to gallows
Stone upon stone my life is laid
In earnest ignorance
But that voice haunts these halls
And I feel the walls, they’re shaking
This temple’s unsound when I’m the builder
Lust and greed are no proper mortar

But where is she now?
I search for her like silver
I long to hear her again
But know that I’m the murderer

So I write her words on my arms
As much as I recall
Then I turn and walk away
As I let my tower fall
