lyrics

We build cathedrals made of sand
Without a regard for firm foundation
We deify leaders bought by men
And turn a blind eye to all their dealings

CHORUS
I wanna smash the ivory tower
I wanna tear down the walls
I wanna break through all their borders And show the world all we’ve lost
I wanna burn through all their privilege I wanna vilify their hate
I want the violence of forgiveness
I want the healing of a saint

Bridges crumble when hate is alive And loyalty has lost its meaning But faith is so fragile
And pride is a necklace
The weight of shame must bear/be such a heavy crown

Do you know them?
Do you love them?
Here’s your stones, take your aim Do you know them?
Do you love them?
Here’s your throne of indignity
Lie in shame

And I will stand, I will sing
Cut my lungs right out of me
I will face their insurrection They’ll make a martyr out of me And I won’t break, I wont yield I’ll let you grovel for your fill
I would gladly march forever
To show justice has a place
And when their voice begins to fade Who is left to blame?
When ash is all that still remains Who is left to save?
