Why do we only call Your name when there’s no one else to call?
 And we only really seek You when our mighty towers fall
 Why do we say You’ve failed us and You’ve turned Your eyes away
 When we’re only sleeping in the bed we made?

 Why do we call for free will, but reject all consequence?
 Why’s the path we’ve made to Heaven stained with the blood of innocence?
 Why’d we ignore the warnings that we’ve read and always known
 And get angry when we reap the things we’ve sown?

 So we blame You
 ‘Cause our world’s [bad word] out right
 While the devil’s masquerading
 As an angel of the light
 Just imagine
 All the pride and all the nerve
 To ask where You’ve been, when we’re the ones we serve

 It’s not a mystery, it’s been foretold
 But we ignored the warning bell so long ago
 There’s a way that seems right unto men, but we’ll die with the wages of sin

 As the world lies bleeding
 The giant is no longer sleeping
 Poisoned harvest reaping
 Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone
 Gone

 We live our lives like we could care less what You have to say
 Then curse the skies when You [bad word] clean up the ugly mess we’ve made
 But You gave us a choice and we made it and dug ourselves into a hole
 We always thought we knew the way despite the things You said
 We just ignored the pile of bodies and the bloodstains on the bed
 Painting ourselves right into a corner as life spiraled out of control

 As the world lies bleeding
 The giant is no longer sleeping
 All we’ve sown now reaping
 Blindly we just carry on, but the glory is gone

 See us – Our promised land of milk and honey
 Became a land of filth and money
 Like Babylon and Rome before
 land of greed and sin and guilt, a stained and scarlet [bad word]  See us – Living in our ivory towers
 Self-appointed kings with no power
 Built a monument to man
 We’re passing down empty decrees like a disease across the land

[Solo: Val]

 This is the system we’ve created
 This is the world so devastated
 This is what it looks like when mankind asks You to just leave us alone
 This is the monster now awakened
 This is our legacy creation
 This is the place we end up when we say that we can do this on our own

 This is our masterpiece: [bad word]  This is our monument: [bad word]  Game point of life and death, the nadir of existence painted black
 This is the road the [bad word] we’ve wandered
 This is inheritance we’ve squandered
 So raise a glass to all we’ve lost and wonder if we’ll ever get it back

 Nations calling “Our will be done, mankind answers to no one”
 But now it has begun – In death, our sin hath borne a son

 Please forgive us for we’ve only made it worse
 Even after You had warned us
 Sin would only bring a curse
 Guess we knew better so we went a different way
 Now we’re only sleeping in the bed we made

 All the glory and the power left this place
 When we turned our backs upon You
 And chose to live in our disgrace
 But You warned us
 And You let us have our way
 Now we’re only drowning in the mess we made

 Blood on our hands
