Vautours - Vatican Walls Lyrics

I heard this story
Of the solitary King
Who wanted to build
His empire of bling

He couldn't find the men
So he called the Priest
To help his plan
Becoming real

The Priest said
<< Give me reign and I will
I can tell the people that
God gave 'em free will >>

So the King said yes
But at one condition :
<< Promise the unfaithful
Eternal perdition >>

Drunken by light
They drowned in darkness
Swallowed by soleness
They lost their sight

Hallelujah

Then came the Shepherd
He praised the King
Saying << Thank you, I heard
My sheep stopped begging >>

So the three men sit
As lords of lies
On bloody thrones
And salted lands

A wise man once said
When you stare at the abyss
The abyss stares back at you
So don't glance at the mirror

What is the cost of lies ?

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
