You preach a gospel wrapped in gold
A kingdom of riches where the truth's been sold
Promises shining like the sunlit sky
But the faithful pay while you live the lie
Your blessings are priced your prayers for sale
A holy façade built on betrayal
The words of the Savior twisted and torn
To build a throne on the backs of the worn
Gold-plated gospel shining bright
But it won't hold up in the judgment's light
You build your empire on the poor man's pain
While your coffers grow their faith remains
Your altar gleams with silver and pearl
But your heart is bound to a broken world
You promise wealth you promise more
While they empty their pockets to open your door
The poor give their last for a prayer unseen
While you drive the roads in a limousine
The Shepherd's truth turned into a trade
The house of God becomes your charade
Gold-plated gospel shining bright
But it won't hold up in the judgment's light
You build your empire on the poor man's pain
While your coffers grow their faith remains
The streets of heaven aren't paved with gold
But the faith of the broken the meek the bold
Your promises crumble your kingdom falls
When the Savior returns to tear down your walls
The gold fades black the truth shines through
The riches you chased won't carry you
A kingdom built on greed won't last
The gospel you twisted fades to the past
The cross you lifted was gilded in lies
But truth burns bright under heavenly skies
Gold-plated gospel your time is done
The Savior's justice has finally come

You preach a gospel wrapped in gold
A kingdom of riches where the truth's been sold
Promises shining like the sunlit sky
But the faithful pay while you live the lie
Your blessings are priced your prayers for sale
A holy façade built on betrayal
The words of the Savior twisted and torn
To build a throne on the backs of the worn
Gold-plated gospel shining bright
But it won't hold up in the judgment's light
You build your empire on the poor man's pain
While your coffers grow their faith remains
Your altar gleams with silver and pearl
But your heart is bound to a broken world
You promise wealth you promise more
While they empty their pockets to open your door
The poor give their last for a prayer unseen
While you drive the roads in a limousine
The Shepherd's truth turned into a trade
The house of God becomes your charade
Gold-plated gospel shining bright
But it won't hold up in the judgment's light
You build your empire on the poor man's pain
While your coffers grow their faith remains
The streets of heaven aren't paved with gold
But the faith of the broken the meek the bold
Your promises crumble your kingdom falls
When the Savior returns to tear down your walls
The gold fades black the truth shines through
The riches you chased won't carry you
A kingdom built on greed won't last
The gospel you twisted fades to the past
The cross you lifted was gilded in lies
But truth burns bright under heavenly skies
Gold-plated gospel your time is done
The Savior's justice has finally come
A kingdom of riches where the truth's been sold
Promises shining like the sunlit sky

Your blessings are priced your prayers for sale
A holy façade built on betrayal
The words of the Savior twisted and torn
To build a throne on the backs of the worn
Gold-plated gospel shining bright
