Fall of the Righteous

(Verse 1) We walked the path of virtue, so we truly believed With every act of charity, salvation we achieved We judged and we condemned, in the name of holy light Blind to our own darkness, we claimed we did what's right (Chorus) In the fires, we proclaim our innocence Blind to our own malevolence This hell, it can't be our final home For we were righteous, carved in stone (Verse 2) We preached of love and mercy, yet punished with disdain In every whispered prayer, sought personal gain Our hearts were full of pride, in robes of purest white Never saw the shadows, lurking in our sight (Chorus) In the fires, we proclaim our innocence Blind to our own malevolence This hell, it can't be our final home For we were righteous, carved in stone (Bridge) We gave with condescension, judged with narrow eyes Deeds done for our glory, not for heaven’s prize Now the flames surround us, truth we can’t accept In the mirror of damnation, our sins are kept (Verse 3) We see the souls in torment, we feel we don’t belong Convinced of our own purity, we sing a twisted song Could it be our righteousness, was just a grand façade? In the depths of hell, we question, were we frauds? (Chorus) In the fires, we proclaim our innocence Blind to our own malevolence This hell, it can't be our final home For we were righteous, carved in stone (Outro) As we cry for justice, in this infernal place Blind to our own failings, we beg for saving grace May our voices rise, through the endless night For the righteous deceivers, who never saw the light (Outro Chorus) In the fires, we proclaim our innocence Blind to our own malevolence This hell, it can't be our final home For we were righteous, carved in stone
