Modern metal band, Say Grace, releases new single and video for "False Preacher" through Art Gates Records.
The central theme explores “the fall of the false savior”, a critique of manipulation, abuse of power, and the hypocrisy of those who present themselves as spiritual or moral authorities.
It does not attack faith itself, but rather condemns those who exploit it as a tool for control. The concept draws inspiration from historical periods in which religious institutions, particularly the early Church, held immense influence, sometimes wielding more power through preaching than even the ruling emperor.

LYRICS
When my life has lost its path
I want nothing but the truth
Your head has been crowned with a halo
As you vanish the truth
Proclaim yourself as a savior
You are just a false preacher
When I cut down your tongue, would you lie to me?
If I tear up your hands, who would you steer?
I’ll show you what it means
To lose your faith
And your life
Who I was in the end
Will fade away
Will my soul last forever
So long, we’re threatened, we won’t forget,
Our hate
Our fears
The strings, your pulling
Ripped off my skin
I`ll choke you, with your own medicine
Blegh
I’ll show you what it means
To lose your faith
And your life
Who iI was in the end
Will fade away
Will my soul last forever
And I return to the dust, eternal
Will my path lead me back, to you, my child
