False Idols by Cordelia Cross

False Idols by Cordelia Cross
From the album The Wanderer

A rallying cry for truth-seekers and those who refuse to bow to the hollow promises of the world, False Idols is a defiant anthem against deceit and shallow pursuits. With raw lyrics and an empowering melody, it’s a battle hymn for the genuine souls who rise above the storm.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Plastic smiles and hollow eyes,
Wearing masks to sell their lies.
Chasing thrones built on deceit,
They walk on backs of the kind and weak.
Their love’s a currency, their truth is sold,
They crave the spotlight but their hearts are cold.
While those who stand, who bleed, who care,
Are left to wither in the shadows they don’t dare.

[Pre-Chorus]
They’re worshiped for their perfect guise,
But I see the cracks beneath the lies.
A hollow crown, a fleeting fame,
A soul devoid of a true name.

[Chorus]
False idols reign, their world’s a fraud,
Built on the backs of the hearts they’ve clawed.
We genuine few, left battered, scarred,
Still carry the truth they’ve tried to discard.
We won’t bow down, we won’t conform,
Our fire will rise through their empty storm.

[Verse 2]
Their praise is fleeting, their bonds are thin,
Built on appearances, not what’s within.
They crave acceptance at any cost,
Their souls are the price, integrity lost.
Meanwhile, the ones who gave and stood tall,
Are used, discarded, and left to fall.
But strength is born in the depths of pain,
And we’ll rise while their falsehoods wane.

[Pre-Chorus]
Their mirrors show a fragile facade,
While we bear scars that make us strong.
A million faces, yet none are true,
We’re the fire, they’re the dew.

[Chorus]
False idols reign, their world’s a fraud,
Built on the backs of the hearts they’ve clawed.
We genuine few, left battered, scarred,
Still carry the truth they’ve tried to discard.
We won’t bow down, we won’t conform,
Our fire will rise through their empty storm.

[Bridge]
Let their castles crumble, their empires fade,
We’ll walk through the ruins they’ve betrayed.
For while they wither, we will stand,
Unbroken, united, hand in hand.
Their masks will shatter, their truth revealed,
While our wounds become the shields we wield.
The world will see what’s real, what’s right,
And we’ll burn bright in their fading light.

[Outro]
False idols fall, their thrones dethroned,
Their kingdom of lies is overthrown.
We’ve stood for truth, through fire and pain,
And in the end, we’ll rise again.
Let their ashes scatter, their whispers die,
We’re the ones who dared to defy.
No masks, no lies, no chains to bind,
We are the genuine, the unconfined.
