Religious Lies / Media Lines

[Verse 1]
Sunday sermon on a talking screen
Plastic halo in a magazine
Pay-per-view prophets selling fear
Every headline says the end is near (hey!)
[Chorus]
Religious lies
Media lines
Poison in the vein of my mind
You sell my panic by the pound
I won’t bow down
I won’t bow down
Religious lies
Media lines
Signal screaming
Truth left behind
You build your kingdom out of doubt
I’m burning your altar down
[Verse 2]
Golden preacher in a tailored suit
Blessed by sponsors
Buried truth
Breaking news
Breaking every trust
Tuning in while everything rusts (yeah!)
[Chorus]
Religious lies
Media lines
Poison in the vein of my mind
You sell my panic by the pound
I won’t bow down
I won’t bow down
Religious lies
Media lines
Signal screaming
Truth left behind
You build your kingdom out of doubt
I’m burning your altar down
[Bridge]
Kneel to nothing
Question everything (everything!)
Kneel to nothing
Cut the cord
Let it sing
[Chorus]
Religious lies
Media lines
Poison in the vein of my mind
You sell my panic by the pound
I won’t bow down
I won’t bow down
Religious lies
Media lines
Signal screaming
Truth left behind
You build your kingdom out of doubt
I’m burning your altar down (burn it down!)

metal, Whiplash-fast thrash metal, tremolo-picked guitars and sharp palm-muted riffs at 230+ BPM, screamed male vocals on the edge of breaking. Drums blast and tumble with double-time kicks and trashy cymbals; distorted bass snarls in lockstep with the rhythm guitar. Choruses open with gang shouts and octave leads, bridge drops to a grinding half-time stomp before a final all-out sprint., thrash metal
