Kneeling at the altar of your own design
Chanting hollow prayers to ease your mind
You speak of righteousness while casting stones
Building walls of faith from broken bones

The book becomes your sword, the cross your shield
But mercy's just a word you'll never yield
In shadows of the temple, darkness grows
While light abandoned dies where judgment flows

Tell me, where's the love you claim to hold?
When your heart's grown bitter, dead and cold

Blinded by the light you think you see
Drowning in your false divinity
God's name on your lips, but hate in your soul
Playing the saint while losing control
Blinded by the light, you've lost your way
In the name of heaven, you've chosen to stray

Neither faith nor doubt defines our worth
Neither prayer nor silence saves this earth
The measure of a soul lies in its deeds
Not in the holy book that someone reads

Your God of wrath was born from human rage
While love lies bleeding, trapped within a cage
I choose to free it from your chains of guilt
And watch compassion rise from what you've spilt

So rise up from the ashes of your creed
Plant gardens where you once sowed poisonous seed
The divine lives not in temples made of stone
But in the kindness that we've always known

Your prophets built their towers reaching high
While forgetting those who suffer and who cry
I'll walk my path with conscience as my guide
No need for gods to stand here by my side

Blinded by the light you'll never see
Lost within your own hypocrisy
Heaven's just a word you've weaponized
While humanity's been sacrificed
Blinded by the light, your faith's a lie
In the name of love, you've learned to die

When the silence falls and judgment ends
Will your God forgive what you defend?
Or will you find that all along you've been
Blinded by the light
Blinded by the light
Blinded by the light within
