Stone by stone we build a grand deceit
Where gold and silver crush the weary feet
From the Nile's edge to the cathedral spire
The flesh of man is fuel for the fire
A crown of iron on a brow of clay
A mortal king who keeps the light at bay

They call themselves the Sun, the stars, the sky
While millions in their holy shadows die
Anointed kings with hands stained in red
By the ghosts of the millions they have led
Through the desert heat and the winter snow
The seeds of hate are all they sow

Marching for a name that was never heard
Burning the world for a hollow word
The desert screams, the altar starts to bleed
A God is hungry for the dragon's greed

Medievil, where the sacred turns to vile
A throne of hell built in a holy aisle
Medievil, gods of dust and bone
A kingdom carved in blood and stone
Divine crusader, mortal sin
The devil wears the Pharaoh's skin

The pyramids reflect the gothic cross
A thousand years of gain, an age of loss
In the shadow of the sphinx, the martyrs cry
As the vultures circle in the blackened sky
No salvation in the scepter's reach
Just the lies the false messiahs preach

Power, is a poison in the vein
Heaven, is a kingdom built on pain

Medievil, where the sacred turns to vile
A throne of hell built in a holy aisle
Medievil, gods of dust and bone
A kingdom carved in blood and stone
Divine crusader, mortal sin
The devil wears the Pharaoh's skin

The man is the monster
The God is a liar
Medievil
