Phinehas - Thegodmachine: The Rider lyrics

Trapped in the trenches Overrun by idols We've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin Looking for a way to beat this system We're trading life for a corpse Entangled with the dead And silenced by our guilt We've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin I've encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones Of depravity I'm already dead And I'm running out of answers Outrunning all the answers We want more We want more Every failure leaves me deeper in the ground Show me what I've become Oh, hanging skulls on my branches Waist below the earth I was a fool of lust Since the day of my birth Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you've just begun to grow But we've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin I've encased myself in a tomb With gods as dead as me Surrounded by stones Of depravity Turn this tomb to dust I'm already dead Oh my love, I haven't let you go Golden skies will divide to receive your soul Oh my son, you've just begun to grow But we've strapped pride to our bones And sealed it with our skin Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go Oh my God, You never let me go (As lifeless as statues) Oh my God, You never let me go (As fleeting as dust in the air) Oh my God, You never let me go (We've robbed your splendor and replaced it with deceit) Oh my God, You never let me go (Replaced with deceit) Oh my God, You never let me go (Replaced with ruin) Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Show us what you see Grace come swiftly Like the waves upon the shore (Grace come swiftly) We can't hear you in our hearts anymore (Oh God give us rest in you) Grace come swiftly and drag the axe further towards me (Oh God give us rest in you) The Son of man approaches the hollows (Oh God give us rest in you) He breaks the guilt in one fell swoop (Oh God give us rest in you) Beheading our treachery (Oh God give us rest in you) Oh God would you bring a burning downpour of Your, of Your... Blood I can hear the hordes of ghosts Screaming in Your choir But would Your love make any difference In a graveyard There's no running now His thunder shakes the earth There will be no trace of betrayal All creation trembles before You As You lift Your hand Your will be done
