[Verse 1] In the burning chasm of my exile, a thought took hold Watching mortals struggle with the stories they were told A covenant of cold stone, a list of rigid rules Promised to the people, played out by Satan’s fools. [Chorus] He tried to rewrite the law, and scratch out every line He told all what’s yours has now become what's mine His words turn the 'thou shalt nots' into a sweet desire And traded the taste of Heaven for a taste of fire. [Verse 2] "No other gods before me," a jealous Satan commands I'll offer riches, fame, and power in these mortal hands Don't take his name in vain," he writes upon the page I'll make blasphemy a currency and fill the world with rage. [Chorus] He tried to rewrite the law, and scratch out every line He told all what’s yours has now become what's mine His words turn the 'thou shalt nots' into a sweet desire And traded the taste of Heaven for a taste of fire. [Bridge] The tablets broke on Sinai, but the fragments still remain A whispered poison, a tempting word to wash away the stain I'll teach them of a freedom that is twisted, dark, and sweet And watch them run from holiness on their own two feet. [Chorus] He tried to rewrite the law, and scratch out every line He told all what’s yours has now become what's mine His words turn the 'thou shalt nots' into a sweet desire And traded the taste of Heaven for a taste of fire. [Outro] So lay your hands upon the fire, and see what you can hold The stories that they told you, a new ending to unfold You want the kingdom, want the power, want to make yourself anew But every word he offered was a lie and learned untrue.
