Blasphemy's Chains
*Verse 1:* Darling Mary, so foolish in promise to save - Your truth contrary to every corpse rotting in an unmarked grave, Draped in veils of deceit, your halo is a noose, Wrapped in ribbons of virtue, your words are a ruse. Raised on falsehoods born of sin, the truth is you're all the same; Groomed by "God" to sing his hymn, shackled in fate’s cruel game. *Chorus:* Raised in blasphemy, we wade through the fire, The flames of their doctrine, a funeral pyre. Chained to the darkness, we scream for the light, But the shadows embrace us, swallowed by night. *Verse 2:* Lambs led to slaughter under guise of salvation, With lips stitched tight, we’re cursed to this foundation. Commanding silence, void of foolish questions, In a world of illusions, we drown in confessions. Mindless vessels don dazzling smiles, Puppets on a string, lost in denial, With every hollow laugh, every empty cheer, We bleed for the words they refuse to hear. *Chorus:* Raised in blasphemy, we wade through the fire, The flames of their doctrine, a funeral pyre. Chained to the darkness, we scream for the light, But the shadows embrace us, swallowed by night. *Bridge:* Be seen and not heard, fortuitous slave, Keep quiet, stay sweet - so well-behaved. Your shackles are gilded, your prison is grand, As we march to the rhythm of a deathly band. In the crypt of our silence, the echoes will rise, With the ghosts of the fallen, we’ll sever the ties. *Chorus:* Raised in blasphemy, we wade through the fire, The flames of their doctrine, a funeral pyre. Chained to the darkness, we scream for the light, But the shadows embrace us, swallowed by night. *Outro:* So remember dear Mary, as the night swallows whole, Your hymn is a whisper that deepens the toll, In the echoing chambers where the lost souls reside, We’ll rise from the ashes, no longer denied. Raised in blasphemy, we'll shatter the chains, Awaken the voiceless, break free from the pain.
