Somber hands are burnt
Finding ways to earn
So we'll take our turn
No-one's livin' better off
Righteous man you walk beside me
(And put my faults on display)
I don't care who's pure and gold
(You wear your life like it's a crown)
A righteous path won't protect me
(No ones livin' better off)
I don't care who's pure and gold
Though the look is stern
Swallow bitter words
Lessons never learned
Righteous man you walk beside me
(And put my faults on display)
I don't care who's pure and gold
(You wear your life like it's a crown)
A righteous path won't protect me
(No ones livin' better off)
I don't care who's pure and gold
Take off your mask with a humbled expression
Crumbling away for a holy confession
Promises we take are the promises we fake
Make us cherish what is broken
Confusion is spoken
Your hands aren't clean
Someone told you they were dirty
Your life's unworthy
Your soul stays searching
Told to kneel not to stand
The righteous man
High and mighty all depending on
Fortunes of the wealthy
