[Intro]
Oh lord, look at what we've become
A race divided, a world undone
My soul is lost, my heart is broken
I guess it's time to see what the old books hath spoken

[Verse 1]
Oh, the preacher stands, Bible in hand
Tells the people of the Promised Land
Give your tithes, obey the way (Obey)
Or burn in fire on Judgment Day (You'll Burn)
Be afraid, you'll pay the price
But God is loving, God is nice
A golden cross, a mighty throne
While people starve outside alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Dear God
We need to know, tell us please (Tell us please)
Why all the death, so much disease? (Much disease)
We kneel before you seeking answers (Please)
Why are you giving children cancer (That seems pretty messed up)

[Chorus]
Bow your head and hear the lie, (Amen)
don't ask questions don't ask why (Okay)
Faith or fear, it's all the same
It was built to rule, to bind and tame 
They hold the book, (They hold the book)
They write the rules, (They write the rules)
Keep us divided, and play us as fools

[Verse 2]
From minarets, the call rings high
Voices raised to the endless sky
But men in power twist the words
Use the faith like sharpened swords
Obey the law, don’t speak too loud (Shh)
Or be buried beneath the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Dear God
We need to know, tell us please (Tell us please)
Why all the death, so much disease? (Too much disease)
We kneel before you seeking answers (Please)
Why are you giving children cancer? (You seem kind of unstable)

[Chorus]
Bow your head and hear the lie, (Ah-men)
don't ask questions don't ask why (Again)
Faith or fear, it's all the same
It was built to rule, to bind and tame
They hold the book, (They write the book)
They write the rules, (They break the rules)
Keep us divided, and play us as fools

[Verse 3]
They whisper prayers behind closed doors
Hiding sins we won't ignore 
Hands unholy, stolen trust (Shhhh)
In sacred halls, they preyed on us
They preach of peace, they tell us love
Yet silence hides what they're guilty of

[Bridge]
Truth’s been twisted, faith’s been sold
Hope repackaged, bought in gold 
Not in the heavens, not in the sky 
The power we need is you and I

[Outro]
Dear God
We need to know, tell us please (Tell us please)
Why all the death, so much disease? (Maybe you're unwell?)
We kneel before you seeking answers, (Please)
Why are you giving children cancer? (You seem pretty messed up)

Holy Chains

[Verse 1]
In seventeen, a deal was made, though none were there to say
A land was promised, signed and sealed, a people cast away
For thirty years, the empire ruled, then left without a care
Zionist guns took what remained, and claimed it theirs to bear
They marched through towns with fire and lead, erased them from the land
Seven hundred thousand forced to flee, with nothing but their hands

[Chorus]
Oh, things didn’t start on October seven, the past was bathed in blood
They claimed the land, they changed the maps, they drowned the truth in mud
A hundred lies can’t hide the truth, nor graves conceal the cost
No empire stands forever strong when built upon the lost

[Verse 2]
Nineteen sixty-seven came, another war was won
The West Bank fell, the Golan too, and Gaza was undone
The army moved, the walls went up, and checkpoints lined the streets
They claimed defense, they took control, but never left in peace
The settlements kept growing fast, though every deal was signed
A map redrawn with every war, a nation left behind

[Chorus]
Oh, things didn’t start on October seven, the past was bathed in blood
They claimed the land, they changed the maps, they drowned the truth in mud
A hundred lies can’t hide the truth, nor graves conceal the cost
No empire stands forever strong when built upon the lost

[Verse 3]
The years went on, the conflict stayed, and every round was worse
By twenty-three, the bloodshed grew, a curse upon a curse
Five hundred dead before the fall, the world just turned away
The headlines spoke of war and loss, but never asked who paid
No justice came, no voices rose, no outcry filled the air
But silence breaks when people fight, and proof was in despair

[Bridge]
New deals are made, new borders drawn, in halls so far away
A land they never lived upon, but still decide its fate
The leaders speak of "peaceful plans," of money, walls, and steel
But peace can’t come through power games or trades that cut a deal
No home is bought, no past erased, no history is sold
A stolen land still breathes unrest, its embers never cold

[Final Chorus]
Oh, things didn’t start on October seven, the past was bathed in blood
They claimed the land, they changed the maps, they drowned the truth in mud
A hundred lies can’t hide the truth, nor graves conceal the cost
No empire stands forever strong when built upon the lost
