[Intro]
Temple walls hold secrets untold
Incense masks what time can't hold
Daddy's tracks mark holy ground
Where prayers and poison can be found
[Verse 1]
Found you slumped against the shrine
Needle dropped, lost in time
All those years of silence break
When truth's too heavy to fake
Our bloodline runs with shame and rust
Sacred space turned junkie's trust
Manchester's grey skies above
While you chase your chemical love
[Chorus]
In this temple, in this haze
Watching daddy's vacant gaze
Breaking down these temple walls
While my heritage falls
(While my heritage falls)
[Verse 2]
Breathing shallow, mumbling low
Echoes of a life I used to know
Your confession's getting loud
Mixing with the burning clouds
Industrial beats match your heart
As our worlds drift apart
Sacred dance turned to decay
While demons lead you astray
[Bridge]
Deep in the night, I hear you call
Through smoky dreams and temple walls
Your voice distorts like broken prayers
In this house of twisted prayers
[Chorus]
In this temple, in this haze
Watching daddy's vacant gaze
Breaking down these temple walls
While my heritage falls
(While my heritage falls)
[Verse 3]
Every hit, another tie
To our culture says goodbye
In this space between the real
And the ghosts of what we feel
Manchester's rain washes clean
The traces of this broken scene
But some stains just won't fade away
No matter how hard we pray
[Outro]
Temple walls hold secrets still
As darkness creeps against my will
Found you here, lost you here
Where sacred meets the fear
(Where sacred meets the fear)
