Halo of Excuse As they preach the Bible as our guiding law A halo of excuse to cover every flaw Girl too young, trapped in the dead of night Power fills her womb, no chance to fight Drag that story to a cold court bench Underage victim, consent's out of reach Any man would rot in a prison cell But it's God, so they ring salvation's bell Burning bush glow, too bright to stare Blinding light says, "Don't you dare." Presence melts you, too hot to stand Divine excuse shields the guilty hand [Chorus A] As they say mountains melt like wax before His face, How can any child say no in that place? No halo of excuse makes abuse disappear, Without the glow, what truth appears here ? As they wave flags from Capitol high "Christian nation" under sacred sky Epstein files spill their dirty names Power's halo keeps 'em out of chains Princes jet to islands in the dark CEOs buy silence, leave their mark Lawyers stack cash, shred the girls' cries Blinding wealth where justice dies President's glow from the Oval throne Motorcade shine, you're dust and bone Speak against it, feel the burn inside Halo of excuse they all provide [Chorus B] When even hills melt like wax in His blazing grace, How could any child say no or leave that place? No halo of excuse hides what's done by men, Without the glow, do you see the sin? Strip the magic, no supernatural spark Just biology in the gathering dark Child's voice silenced, can't weigh the cost Power's whisper, all consent is lost Science sees the imbalance clear No free choice when the mighty near Power too vast for the innocent eyes Halo gone—now see with real eyes As they cry "God's law" from judge's seat Survivors shatter at their feet Piety's shield for the mirror's shame Power's halo excuses the game [Chorus A] As they say mountains melt like wax before His face, How can any child say no in that place? No halo of excuse makes abuse disappear, Without the glow, what truth appears here?Halo's scapegoat, sacrifice you bear Virginity offered to the powerful glare "He's too great," they say, "make the gift." Victim's body on the altar they lift Consent's simple, yours to own Not for sale on a sacred throne Halo of excuse starts to fade Now judge the man—what's been made? Remove the halo. view GOD as man Then explain to me where you stand [Final Chorus / Outro] Without the glow, do you see the sin, That these young girls were victims of men? If mountains melt like wax before His face, How can any child say no in that place? When even hills melt like wax in His blazing grace, Could any child ever leave that place? No halo left to set him free— Without the blinding power, what do you see?
