In God We Trust

Lyrics: [Intro] Cold coins in my palm Salt on my tongue The night kneels low Before the drum [Verse 1] Paper saints in a counting room Seal the vault and lock the moon Hands so clean, but the ledgers bleed Feed the lie, then feed the need I watched the men in tailored black Smile while the floorboards cracked They preach the law, then bend the blade And call it order when the deal is made [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the glass? That’s the truth coming fast Every vow turns to rust Every crown eats dust [Chorus] In God we trust In God we trust But men still bite the dust In God we trust In God we trust And I don’t trust what they call us [Verse 2] Steel in the hymn and fire in the choir A blackened sky and a borrowed wire Mama said, “Boy, keep your head up high” I said, “I’m done with the suit-and-tie lies” They built their throne on a roadside grave Bought and sold every soul they could save Now the wolves wear robes and the judges grin While the door to the kingdom is caving in [Pre-Chorus] Hear that crack in the glass? That’s the truth coming fast Every vow turns to rust Every crown eats dust [Chorus] In God we trust In God we trust But men still bite the dust In God we trust In God we trust And I don’t trust what they call us [Bridge] Raise it up, let it burn Every cheat gets its turn When the last lie falls You’ll hear the righteous call I’ve seen gold turn thin I’ve seen kings crawl in If heaven keeps score Then heaven wants war [Chorus] In God we trust In God we trust But men still bite the dust In God we trust In God we trust And I don’t trust what they call us [Outro] Cold coins in my palm Ash on my tongue The night stands up Then the fast part comes
