Sleep and wake in fear Spirits cause everything Consultations and exultation to a deaf God Fast and pray lest you fail God is hardest to please God is dead to us We buried him in ignorance False prophets - our ancestors danced with them False prophets - our parents fell victim False prophets - we are enslaved I see this I see that Our demons never fight The salt and oil we douse at midnight They protect us False prophets- we listened False prophets- we believed False prophets- we are enslaved Wives hide nakedness from husbands Strip from cloth to thought for them Faith overburdened with naivety Knowledge that redeems, Lost to teachings of captivity and unrighteousness False prophets - our ancestors danced with them False prophets - our parents fell victim False prophets - we are enslaved The greed that keeps them afloat Sinks our soul and glory in muddy waters Shame only comes at the end The end comes at our loss We fear those we should love and love those we should fear False prophets!

False prophets
Sleep and wake in fear Spirits cause everything Consultations and exultation to a deaf God Fast and pray lest you fail God is hardest to please God is dead to us We buried him in ignorance False prophets - our ancestors danced with them False prophets - our parents fell victim False prophets - we are enslaved I see this I see that Our demons never fight The salt and oil we douse at midnight They protect us False prophets- we listened False prophets- we believed False prophets- we are enslaved Wives hide nakedness from husbands Strip from cloth to thought for them Faith overburdened with naivety Knowledge that redeems, Lost to teachings of captivity and unrighteousness False prophets - our ancestors danced with them False prophets - our parents fell victim False prophets - we are enslaved The greed that keeps them afloat Sinks our soul and glory in muddy waters Shame only comes at the end The end comes at our loss We fear those we should love and love those we should fear False prophets!
