[Verse]
Golden idols line the halls
In a place where souls now fall
Voices whisper silent prayers
In a faith that no one shares
[Verse 2]
Statues shine with cold embrace
Empty eyes in solemn space
Songs once pure have gone astray
Echoed down a broken way
[Chorus]
Oh how the modern church has strayed
Trading light for gilded greed
Hearts once humble now betrayed
By the lure of worldly need
[Verse 3]
Crystal chalice holds no grace
Sacred words now out of place
Echoes of sincerity
Drowned by wealth"s prosperity
[Bridge]
Velvet pews and marble floors
Mask the cries that ask for more
Faith was never in the gold
But in stories once retold
[Chorus]
Oh how the modern church has strayed
Trading light for gilded greed
Hearts once humble now betrayed
By the lure of worldly need
