Roderick van den Brink - Hollow Words Lyrics

So are we bastardized, too weak to change
And am I sanctified or just a two-faced saint
A hypocrite with nothing new to preach
Goddamn heresy, our tyrants teeth, just see
Their grief
Three cheers to the obvious
Pull our shackles and our spines will break
Sedated, all of us
Never healed, but never sore
But now our hollow words have ricocheted
The deafening sound
Laid bare the ones that we've betrayed
Just ask yourself
Can we still wear our crown
Will we still let them drown
Just see
You want to sacrifice that's all it takes
All your ventures, please, you know they're all in vain
Just cut the drip, just take the needles out
Now you see clearly, now you've buried your doubt
Can you feel your rage seeping through your teeth
Saved from deceit and now your blood runs free
Don't need to carry out your treacherous little schemes, agreed
Now you just have to find your goddamn beliefs
Three cheers to the obvious
Pull our shackles and our spines will break
Sedated, all of us
Never healed, but never sore
But now our hollow words have ricocheted
The deafening sound
Laid bare the ones that we've betrayed
Just ask yourself
Can we still wear our crown
Will we still let them drown
Just see
