lyrics

GOD WAS THE ONE WHO DID THIS TO YOU.
HE FUCKED YOU WITH HIS CROSSES AND HIS PEOPLE DID TOO.
LOCKED IN SUBMISSION TO THE CAPITAL OF CHURCH.
YOU PAY OUT YOUR WEEKLY WAGE, YOU BLEED OUT YOUR WORTH.
CHILDREN MISTAKENLY DEFINING EVIL.
YOUNG TRUSTING MINDS BEING HERDED IN HIS STEEPLE.
ONE TRUTH THE ONLY TRUTH AND ALL ELSE IS SIN -
UNSPOKEN DESIRE TURNED TO SHAME AND GUILTING.

HATRED FOSTERED BY THE ONES WHO PREACH AGAINST IT
MAY THEY ONE DAY BE STRUCK DOWN BY HIM THEY SERVE.

GOD SAID TO BECOME THE FISHERS OF MEN,
TO ENSNARE AND ENTRAP IN A PLACE YOU’VE NEVER BEEN.
DEMOLISH A CULTURE WHILE FINDING A WAY
TO DENY YOU’RE STILL ON THOSE VIOLENT CRUSADES.
THE NATIONALIST ALWAYS BRANDISHING POWER,
CONTROLLING THOSE MOST OFTEN SHOT FROM THEIR TOWERS.
THEY WALK SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE LEADERS OF FAITH,
PARTNERED IN CORRUPTION SERVING THE STATE.

TRY TO KILL US AND CALL IT GOD’S DIVINE RETRIBUTION.
TRY TO MAKE US TAKE OUR OWN LIVES THROUGH PERSECUTION.
DEATH WON’T TAKE ME, EVEN THOUGH IT’S WHAT I WANT.
TORTURED BY GOD,
BUT I WON’T LOSE MYSELF IN WHAT HE WANTS.
HATRED FOSTERED BY THE ONES WHO PREACH AGAINST IT MAY THEY ONE DAY BE STRUCK DOWN BY HIM THEY SERVE.
