[Verse 1]
We are deceived, Valhalla is falling
We are betrayed, we are lost and forsaken
He's sold the world, sold us all to the hunger
The body of Christ is as black as his soul
The word of the Lord is the lie of your father
This mortal sin is a voice of shame
Look at the storm like a dying apostle
Cruel and divine like the ghost of man

[Chorus]
And now you realise
I am the truth

[Verse 2]
Worship the dead, the damned and misled
Tortured and bled like the voices of reason
Sacred and pure, sanctified obsession
Holy and cured like a doorway to heaven
Sisterhood cried, innocence lied
Purity died with the angels of passion
Blessed are they who pay homage to rumour
I've seen the light shine on the grave of man

[Chorus]
And now you realise
I am the truth

[Outro]
And I believed
Amen
