Strangers to the Sacred - Faith Is Not Innocent

Описание: Lyrics

They don’t deny what they believe,
They don’t avert their eyes.
Every wound has purpose here,
Every death aligns.

What we thought was ritual habit
Is doctrine carved in time.
Not an exception, not a failure,
But order by design.

They speak of balance and of debt,
Of harmony restored.
Suffering isn’t questioned,
It’s something they afford.

The pain is not a byproduct,
It’s central to the act.
A necessary offering
To keep the system intact.

They don’t call it sacrifice,
They call it obligation.
A sacred weight passed down
Through generations.

We listen as they justify it,
With calm, unwavering tone.
As if violence finds absolution
When belief stands alone.

They say the world would fracture
If the rites were ever stopped.
That mercy would invite collapse,
That doubt would rot the core.

We arrived with questions, not answers,
And learned what answers cost.
Because faith doesn’t hesitate
When innocence is lost.

There is no malice in their voices,
No hatred in their eyes.
Only certainty so absolute
It doesn’t need a lie.

And that’s what freezes us in place,
What settles deep inside.
Not the blood upon the ground,
But how calmly it’s justified.

Faith is not innocent
When it refuses to bend.
When belief becomes command,
And command becomes the end.

They don’t ask us to agree,
They don’t need our consent.
The truth stands firm within their rites—
And that truth is violent.
