King of the Rats

Upon Loss Singles

Deep in the Willow

[Verse 1]
The pulpit drips with children's bones
His robes are stitched with war zone flags
A serpent smiles beneath the cross
Another lie signed into law

[Pre-Chorus]
You drank the blood, not for salvation, but for stock options
You turned the gospel into a weapon
And called it freedom
Now choke on your scripture

[Verse 2]
He sits on gold, beneath stained glass
The choir burns while profits last
Faith becomes a business plan
And God’s replaced with take what you can

[Pre-Chorus]
False prophets preaching genocide
To sold-out crowds in sacred halls
They cheer the hate, the bile, the war
Then tithe before they burn it all

[Chorus]
This is the altar built on shame
With teeth of doctrine and tongues of flame
You fed the beast, you dug the well
Now wear the crown and rot in hell

[Verse 3]
I used to have to try
Whispers in the dark, promises beneath blood moons
Now I hand you a paycheck and a Wi-Fi signal, and you tear each other apart for sport
You were supposed to be His masterpiece

But you're pigs
Gluttonous, petty, loud, and proud of it
He made you in His image, gave you will, gave you love — and this is what you built
An altar of ash, a megachurch of greed, a democracy of death

[Breakdown]
No gods, no truth, no breath, no light
Only coffins carved from rights
The beast you serve is wearing skin
And preaching sin from deep within

[Chorus]
This is the altar built on shame
Where every prayer becomes a drone
You screamed for peace, then pulled the pin
And now the devil lets you in

[Outro]
There’s no savior coming, no light to mend
The angels are bleeding, the sermons pretend
The throne is empty, the sky won’t speak
And you’ll die in the dark, still calling Him king

Cursed

Gideon
