00:30You bend your knee quite shakily
00:33And break my heart so tenderly
00:36The ringing bells that tell the tales
00:39Empires rise, empires fail
00:42Charity, catastrophe
00:45The past decreed, let the bastards be
00:48Hold me now and hold me down
00:51Cut me with your thorny crown
00:54Bleed me out, let the children shout
00:57So they can see what we're all about
01:01Walls were built to fall
01:06Our gods and alcohol
01:13I refuse the call
01:19Walls were built to fall
01:27instrumental
01:38Mystery, conspiracy
01:41Surrounding me in groups of three
01:44The trinity that sits with me
01:47And pours my tea and see my dream
01:50Breaks my bread and keeps my stead
01:53They watch the blood fall from my head
01:56And gather like a shadow grows
01:59Upon my pillow, fills my nose
02:02Till no longer breath I feel
02:05The horse it bucks and breaks away
02:08Laughter rise like clouds of dust
02:11We turn to heroine, to lust
02:14Rush the pope with veils and sheaths
02:17Scream her a sea, bring forth the beast
02:20She led us to our vaunted fate
02:23With bones as beggars' dirty plates
02:26Fill the streets with running meats
02:29With fallen angel wings defeat
02:32Blurry eyes terrorize
02:35The blindness of our mortal lives
02:38Incurious, spurious
02:41Incurious in God we trust
02:44To once again cut down our foes
02:47The sun pales as darkness grows
02:50Walls were built to fall
02:55Our gods and alcohol
03:02I refuse the call
03:08Walls were built to fall
03:14instrumental
03:35I sit in Bodhi sapphire robes
03:38A serpent with a serving rose
03:41And hung him in his filthy clothes
03:44The swollen host sings songs for those
03:47Who never had a chance to rise
03:50The golden light of dawn's demise
03:53The wind it lashes, shakes the steel
03:56Impales the pines of pain we feel
03:59Idolatry, the policy
04:02The coliseum spawned by greed
04:05The common creed, the prophecies
04:08The dying mother's final pleas
04:11My child, my child, why can't we know
04:14The promised land where we were told
04:17Would keep us safely from the cold
04:20Forbidden cities paid with gold
04:23But as I keep you at my breast
04:26And guide you to eternal rest
04:29With feral faith I've stopped the key
04:32And faced a feckless parricide
04:35To keep your name in full I'll fight
04:38I'll follow you into the light
04:41Forever in my mournful state
04:44I'll rush my death to crash the gate
04:48Walls were built to fall
04:54Our gods and alcohol
05:00I refuse to call
05:06Walls were built to fall
05:12Walls were built to fall
