To live is to renounce whatever strives to deceive Your lies are proof of deception whispered in my dreams Who decides what thought to betray and who becomes a god? I won't fall onto my knees and declare undying love Seraphim fear to be cast out for beliefs they call their own If I am already condemned then what's the point of absolution? Face the day with a new found sense of what's to come I won't be a servant to your serpent god Your mistake was choking lies to let them break you I am not your dust angel nor will I ever be How much did it cost to build your throne? A pious life lived in luxury Dedication inspires wrath All forgiving hope casts us down Cast us down Face the day with a new found sense of what's to come I won't be a servant to your serpent god Your mistake was choking lies to let them break you I am not your dust angel nor will I ever be When the rapture comes I won't cry for peace Won't regret for a second what I chose to be Am I now a traitor for my indifference to the light? Not a captive to the rhetoric spewed from your tarnished heights Genocide will choose the path the weak will wear through My strength will deny your words from ever taking hold again My strength will deny your word from ever taking hold again How much did it cost to build your throne? A pious life lived in luxury Dedication inspires wrath All forgiving hope casts us down Never gonna see Won't live like the ones I despise Never gonna feel A bullet in my hand The bullet feeds the gun A bullet through my head Your dust angel falls
