[Verse 1]

Fuck this, I'm done arguing

Our fate is not bound to your cold foretelling

And the doctrine that you serve does not serve this discussion

Irrelevant nonsense disqualifies you


[Pre-Chorus]

It's a sonnet, there's no way to put a ribbon on it

While you're leaving, the rest of us will be here grieving

Cradling our reason


[Chorus 1]

Hallowed be thy name, thy shame

Sing the words in line and prey

Hallowed be thy name, thy shame

Walk willfully in reins


[Verse 2]

Hurricanes are coming like empires

Rising seas, your willful God's damning lake of fire

And your certainty dismisses solution

The result of our behavior is the reason that you run


[Pre-Chorus]

It's a sonnet, there's no way to put a ribbon on it

While you're leaving, the rest of us will be here grieving

Cradling our reason


[Chorus 2]

Hallowed be thy name, thy shame

Follow the party line and prey

Hallowed be thy shame, thy name

March willingly into wars


[Bridge]

Won't be named, won't be framed

Won't be strange

You and not just them

Will fight for land, hanging man

Will you still prey then?


[Verse 3]

I'm done arguing

Our fate is bound by innovation, not theory or fiction

That book you love but never read shouldn't leap into debate

Especially when your faith absolves you of empathy, acccountability


[Chorus 3]

Hallowed be thy name, thy shame

Sing the words in time and prey

Hallowed be thy name, thy shame

Fight for a home in the name in the name


[Outro]

In the name

In the name

We will be killing for it
