Dissent

(album: Sunshine Dust - 2018)

Repent, hear the laments of the angel's weeping
While you search for the lies worth keeping
I don't know where I left my sanity
Take my God
I will not suffer silently
Won't forfeit my mind to society
Won't give myself up to your piety
I'll stand here alone

Resist you 'till I fall
You're not my saviour
Or my hope
You didn't give me life
Rip away, won't give in to your light

"It's a sin," they say, with serpent tongues
"Don't give in," they say, from porcelain thrones
I'll tear away
Won't take you at your righteous word

Resist you 'till I fall
You're not my saviour
Or my hope
You didn't give me life
Rip away, won't give in to your light

Tear down the altar and step out from your cage
Take all your idols and push them far away
Once you see that faith is an illusion for control
You'll free your mind and elevate your soul

With your dim and closing heart
Sheltering the light from dark
What was wrong will soon become right
Unforgiving, merciful one

Betraying sins
In the truth you left behind
Take it away
This burden that you've given to me
Dissent, dissent, dissent

Tear down the altar and step out from your cage
Take all your idols and push them far away
Once you see that faith is an illusion for control
You'll free your mind and elevate your soul

Dissent, dissent, dissent, dissent
