Clutched brimstone surrounding the village populated by the jagged smiles seen each Sunday The pyre is set, but how can they burn when their meat is all but human DOGMA DROWNED OUT BY TV STATIC I HEARD THE WORDS DELIVERED BY EYELESS FACES WHAT DO YOU SEE BEYOND THE CAMERAS WILL YOU STILL SMILE BENEATH A GUILLOTINE BLADE OR WILL YOU WEEP REDDENED SAND INTO A DESERT AS EMPTY AS YOU Scripture stolen out the mouth of a mother forced to carry to term Nothing sacred in a man ****** holy language The same words that preach against demons come from the canals of Babylon; your empire sings annihilation until none are left to hear it EMPTY CHANNELS DEFECATE BLOATED PSALMS INTO A NETWORK GILDED AND GREEDY POCKETS LINED WITH EMACIATED PRAYERS NONE WILL HEAR THEM THE SILENCE IS LOUDER THAN THE CROWD’S APPLAUSE
