Lyrics

Prayers rise in the smoke of the gun
A thousand gods but the same war won
Stone on stone
They built their shrines
And buried peace beneath the lines

Oh the altars fall
The heavens burn
Lessons we never seem to learn
But the children sing
The children know
From broken altars
New seeds grow

Kings in robes with blood on their hands
Draw their borders in sacred sands
Truth is whispered
But hate is loud
Faith divides the kneeling crowd

They promised grace
They gave us pain
Heaven's glory
But hell remains

Oh the altars fall
The heavens burn
Lessons we never seem to learn
But the children sing
The children know
From broken altars
New seeds grow

No creed will chain the restless minds
No cross will bind the hands of time
The young will rise
Unearth the lies
And build a world where hope survives
