The Defaced - The Icon Lyrics

Born out of selfishness
Fed on ignorance
Life through demise of man
You gave it all you had
It took back all
Why couldn't you stop it in time

In time your lessons
Ought to be learned
By your mistakes
Lies keep you on your path
With dismay you'll find the truth

The icon is wearing you down
Are you that blind
A new god is rising
False believes and false hopes
Screwing your mind
A new god is rising

This way is for no one
But it justifies
And pray the shell won't crack
Lay down on yourself
Your rights and wrongs
Harvest the seed you've sown

Your soul will be weighted
It can't be purified like this
Tear and build up new
Cleanse with this yourself

False believes and false hopes
