Spit Back the Lies

They built a house of hollow prayers... Time to spit back the lies.

Burn down the thrones, / Bury the crowns.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They paved the streets with broken oaths,
Stacked their sins up stone by stone.
Built a house of hollow prayers,
And called it home.

[Chorus]
Spit back the lies,
Spit back the lies.
Burn down the thrones,
Bury the crowns.

We live,
We live not by lies.

[Verse 2]
They crowned the rats, they blessed the thieves,
Fed the poets to the machine.
But Sasha carved it on the bones,
No lie will reign.

[Chorus]
Spit back the lies,
Spit back the lies.
Tear down the walls,
Sing through the scars.

We live,
We live not by lies.

[Bridge]
Truth don't wear a pretty dress,
Truth don't sell her soul for less.
Truth walks out, battered and bare,
Still standing there.

[Final Chorus]
Spit back the lies,
Spit back the lies.
Raise up the wreckage,
Let it rise.

[Outro]
We live,
We live not by lies.
We live,
We live not by lies.
