The hands of the pure will hide the dirt
A sacred excuse behind a wall of hurt
The holy water drowning an innocent soul
With remains of a childhood they stole
The hearts of the vulnerable in the shrine
A sacred cocktail with blood and wine
The holy water submerging the lost
Asking forgiveness and paying the cost
The eyes of the insane on your TV screen
A puppet with the cogs of a corporate machine
The holy water mixed with the electricity
But I can see past the act at your toxicity
The unequal balance on the human scales
A weight made up of wood and nails
The holy water floods the lands
Submerging us all in blood soaked hands
Drowning In Holy Water
In a world that's getting hotter
Drowning In Holy Water
Under a god that won't end the slaughter
The venom in the words as you walk on by
A serpent with a verse and a hollow lie
The holy water just fuels the fire
Adding to your daily mental pyre
The discrimination that fills the street
A target and a phrase to repeat
The holy water that evades the pure
And a placebo that's sold as the cure
Drowning In Holy Water
In a world that's getting hotter
Drowning In Holy Water
Under a god that won't end the slaughter
We can't continue on this way
Lighting fires each and everyday
We can't accept an expired view
Respect me and I respect you
We can't continue on this way
With burnt pages each and every day
We can't continue to deject
We need to respect and not just accept
Or we'll all fall (we'll all fall)
We'll all fall (we'll all fall)
Or we'll all fall (we'll all fall)
We all fall
Like the Buddhas of Bamyan (we'll all fall)
Like the Buddhas of Bamyan (we'll all fall)
We will never lose our hope (or we'll all fall)
This is our transmission of hope (we'll all fall)
We will never lose our hope (or we'll all fall)
This is our transmission of hope (we'll all fall)
We will never lose our hope
This is our transmission of hope
