Lyrics – Sacred Lie by Disturbed


My conviction is stronger today
As I fight to uncover your sacred lie
And the fear isn't going away
As the soldiers still die

The rain falls down. It's being doing that a lot lately. I turn my face upwards and receive the water; it drips down my cheeks and into my anorak. I stand here, listening to the singing, echoing from the building next to me. I remember when I used to be in there, singing with my parents. But not anymore. They, my parents, say they are soldiers of God. I was, once. But not anymore. I'm a casualty of God's war. Just like my sister. She died in combat. God's war. God's Holy war. His lies.

Let your followers know their lives have been sold
For the good of your sacred lie
For the truth to be told
And the plan to unfold
We must start asking why

My parents, they have been sold into His lie. God tells them he will save them, but He doesn't. I hate it. He tells them they have been chosen, and thus, they must fight for Him. They are sold into slavery.

Don't you know the war is far from over now
What a stumbling block we've fallen over now
As our brothers die defending no one
The war is far from over now

This war, it burns the truth away. I can't believe I never saw it. My sister died for You, God. Yet, she was told she would never see Heaven, by Your soldiers! Your soldiers die for You, yet, if You are so powerful, why do they need to die for You? This war is still blazing, blood is still flowing…and it flows in Your Name!

Liberation, a moral charade
For the cause is a part of your sacred lie
Damnation a moment away in all the world's eyes
It's the doom of us all

They believe they have freedom…yet they obey You! They live as You want them to! I look up, the rain is still falling. Your lies, they cause this pain, can't You see that?

We give in to control for the sake of your sacred lie
Complications abound
You'll get used to the sound of alarms in your life

We give in. For You and only You. And why? Because we are told that it is right. Yet You bring pain and misery to our lives. My sister died for You, because of You.

Don't you know the war is far from over now
What a stumbling block we've fallen over now
As our brothers die defending no one
The war is far from over now

This war will never end. This war will never stop. This war will never end. This war will never stop. This war will never end. This war will never stop. As long as You are here, this war will never end. This war will never stop.

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

Did you know how she felt…

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

Being told she could never reach Heaven…

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

Because on her wedding night, she wasn't a virgin…

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

Do you think it mattered to them…

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

…That she was raped?

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

The rain still falls.

Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime

I hate You!

Give us a moment of peace right now

Get away from me!

Don't you know the war is far from over now
What a stumbling block we've fallen over now
As our brothers die defending no one
The war is far from over now

My sister was beaten to death, because she believed in You. She was beaten by her own allies, Your soldiers. I hope that You never manage to entice another person into Your web. God, Your battle is still raging. It rages because of Your lies.

Don't you know the war is far from over now
What a stumbling block we've fallen over now
As our brothers die defending no one
The war is far from over now

The war goes on. My parents are singing praises to You. I won't. I will never praise You again. I am a casualty of the war. My sister died for nothing, for no-one. This war is still raging, and Your soldiers fight each other. I will fight against You, Lord. The rain is still falling.
