heart of gold - pontifex lyrics

[verse 1]

i heard my father, i heard my father say, got down on my knees and prayed, and i heard my father say, he said, “young man, young man…
young man, fear no man and fear no evil
life is one go around there will be no sequel.”
all things equal here outside this steeple
i got these wolves on my back for giving truth to all these people
and it’s a wild, wild, west, a storm filled quest
represent with this scarlet cross impaled on my chest
the soul in the body the test for the flesh
stress from speaking truth, make some second guess
and i guess, some will fade out and choose to sell
or choose to yell silence is consent time will tell
and what they fight and bash just ain’t personal
because of the instance of resistance is found universal
so what do you think this is 2000 years runnin’?
people gunnin for gold but they can’t hold the bold
and since the kingdom come, nothing new under the sun
men and women living, dying for the one

[chorus]
we’re ready to fight but no fists will form, we’ll stand our ground in the raging storm. it’s a place that we go untold, a soul on fire with a heart of gold. reaching for those in oppression, true love in the world is our weapon. stand up ‘cause it’s time to be bold, forever livin’ in the heart of gold
you can bang on these walls but you can’t beat em down (repeat)

[verse 2]

it echoes in the chambers of my heart
return what i learn, lead them where the fire starts
it sparks the revolution, they hate the inst-tution
and all expressive fusion that i’m giving in this art
but you can’t buy my silence, can’t buy it off me
started talking power and fame that’s where you lost me
so what’s it cost me? eternal price tag to be on that level
sacrifice the self for now or dance with the devil
the real gold’s within, the real gold’s with him
scandals and heartbreaks it seems so grim
and this world can be cold, but this refuge is gold
we’ve given a promise so let the story unfold

[chorus]

[verse 3]

these ancient walls, these hallowed halls
glorious rays upon the altar falls, the altar calls
each open heart not your status
no matter race or cl-sses he welcomes the m-sses
brilliant colors abound, heaven touches the ground
oasis for the thirsty and the lost our found
and truth is a lion, truth built this place
a people alive throughout all time and sp-ce
so what’s worth the investment, you heard the testament
they testify to the truth so undeniable, reliable
blood spilled through ages, pages and pages
brave men, lion’s den, saints starved in cages
so what do you think this is 2000 years running?
people gunning for gold but they can’t hold the bold
and since the kingdom come, nothing new under the sun
men and women living, dying for the one

[chorus]
