Stricken by the lightning of desire
 
 Chosen by temptation's wicked ghost
 
 Saviour of the young and of the fragile
 
 Healer of the ignorant and poor
 
 After every lighted pyre
 
 Ashes fertilize the soil
 
  
  Dig into your weakness for an answer
 
 Dig until you find a reason why
 
 Cursing younger souls with your stigma
 
 Yet protected by the house of God
 
 And with every broken promise
 
 There's a cold, well spoken word
  
 
 Preach for solitude
 
 Sin remission
 
 Leave your will and your thoughts by the door
 
 And surrender who you are
  
 
 Preach for sanity
 
 Strength and reason
 
 Do submit to the lies that we teach
 
 And enlightenment you will reach
 
 Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight
  
 
 Empathy for the ones graded higher
 
 Apathy towards the ranked low
 
 Trading guilt for mirrors and desires
 
 Trading hope for favours and for wealth
 
 Selling fantasy and fables
 
 To the ones who need it most
  
 
 Preach for solitude
 
 Sin remission
 
 Leave your will and your thoughts by the door
 
 And surrender who you are
  
 
 Preach for sanity
 
 Strength and reason
 
 Do submit to the lies that we teach
 
 And enlightenment you will reach
 
 Open your heart to divine oppression and for us stand and fight
  
 
 Kiss the thorn
 
 Devious ghost
  
 
 Stand on your own, be your meaning, be your healer
 
 Stand on your own, say you'll leave it, say you'll leave it
  
 
 Hold my hand one moment, teach me how to see beyond the lies
 
 Just a broken promise, just an echo of a distant cry
