Lyrics and translation
Original
This looks weird. What are you building?
Dark twisted fantasies, caste system casualties, lying lips inside the pulpit, false realities.
Masoretic textual criticism, cynicism, homophobic pedophiles, double standards, agendas hidden.
Blasphemers, bad teachers, cash seekers, trash leaders tricked a lot of people out their faith, then they detached
Jesus. I came back to rescue the people lost in the jungle.
Recover the fumble and let them see what the Son do.
We tore down the walls of the temple, but left the foundation. Mold-infested, roof-leaking politics of a proud nation.
You think I'm here to flip tables, but I ain't started yet.
Way too many blueprints, but I don't see many architects. Churches hide behind public policy with a face mask.
Yeah, I'm talking heavy. I'm in another weight class. Anomaly, weighted with ancient and
Eastern prophecy, scrutinizing Western philosophies and theologies.
Lifting up the skirt of you Pharisees like a pervert.
Hard-hearted, self-righteous distributors of church hurt. They say this is the end 'cause the people are uninspired.
The game ain't over yet, just a couple players retired.
Reconstruction. Huh, they said we were walking away from the faith.
We weren't walking away from faith, we was walking away from fraud. We rebels again.
We was handed doctrines dipped in dominance while the systems abused the sacred. But that wasn't truth, that was hypocrisy.
So we tore it down, not because we hate truth, but because we love it too much.
-Reconstruction. -We ain't lost, we architects now.
We not destroying, we're clearing space to rebuild a faith that can breathe, a gospel -that liberates- -Reconstruction.
-a Jesus who still overturns tables in temples built on control.
This ain't a crisis of belief. It's a reconstruction for clarity.
And when the dust settles- -Reconstruction.
--we'll still be standing on a firm foundation. Reconstruction.
