Advent Weight Of The World
Fighting to save your traditions
Pointless endeavors and missions
Talk is all I hear empty words from the heart to your mouth
Impotent vision throwing stones from cathedrals
Empty pews dead institutions
Paying the fee, 10%
Country club, now you're in, bankrupt religion
We do the same thing every night every day
Nothing has changed, nothing has changed
Nothing
A time will come when silence is betrayal
A time will come when your voices will not be heard
The years that we've chosen to say nothing
They'll all return
The guilt, the shame, the pain and the anger
So we break these chains
Of religion, of tradition
Moved to action
So we break these chains
Of a system that has coaxed us to sleep
Don't need religion
So we break these chains
Religion has never set men free
Religious guilt dies with me
Weight of the world
Chains falling down
Weight of the world
Chains falling down
I won't be buried
I won't be buried in chains
I won't be buried
I won't be buried in chains
I won't be buried in chains
I'm free from the shame
I won't be buried in chains
I'm free from the shame
Religious guilt dies with me
Religious guilt dies
He was chained
Crushed, despised, denied
Tortured, executed by the state
Buried and lives today
And for what
For us to be judge, jury and executioner
Judge
Judge
Judge
Jury
Execute
Judge
Jury
Execute
