[Intro]
Teeth on tin
Taste of iron
Bite the chain
Feed the fire
[Verse 1]
Rusted halo
Hanging off your cracked crown
You preach purity
While you’re dragging us down
Cheap salvation
In a barcoded shrine
You sold the ending
For a headline
[Chorus]
Rusted halo
You don’t shine
You choke
Turned our faith into your cage
And called it hope
Rusted halo
Bend it till it breaks
I’d rather bleed from my own wounds
Than live on what you fake
[Verse 2]
You paint mercy
Over stains you won’t name
Call it “healing”
While you’re fueling the flame
[low vocal register]
Every sermon’s just a sales pitch
Every promise is a quick fix
[full-throat scream]
You want devotion?
Here’s a closed fist
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[spoken
Close to mic]
Kiss the ring
While the floorboards rot
Shake my hand
While the cameras watch
You bless the bullets
Then you bless the shots
Tell me again
Who’s really lost?
[crescendo]
Break the halo
Bend the metal
Grind it down
Build a new level
No more kneeling
At your throne of rust
I put my faith
In breaking trust
[Chorus]
