Bible Stories
He said I was considered
a sinner because I talk of death
The holy do as well
I didn't trick a man to **** his son
I didn't flood the earth,
There's more than one way to see Noah's rainbow
The earth rumbles temples and
Splits pillars in two
as someone let all the pidgins go
You could see the red when
the sea is parted, Don't forget
your horses when the river's back
Do as you please but only when your told
or you'll wake up on the shore
only remembering Moby ****, ask JonahΒ Β
They say go for your dreams
but if you miss Goliath's head
you ain't got a chance in hell
The ten insights made from mountain stone
the words reverbed from cascade to cascade
There's no excuse if youre lost in translation
There's not one "t" in Calvary
but today there happens to be three
Good thing he saved them all
The blood was poured ******
So all heaven and hell could see
That we're still clueless as before
The Sabbath reads ten after nine
The Lessons of life are real
but we still go every which way
He said he wasn't going to betray
All you need to know
is that he hung himself from a tree
Hold your guard and stand strong
don't let a little lady ****** your hair
or everything comes crashing down
Tag team with Daniel in the Lion's den
he'll probably set you free and say,
"watch the spear in the back"
Modern times solidify the past
It seems pretty easy to blow stuff up
in the the name of God
Though the sixth commandment
is broken our measure of error
is also our error of success
I floated down the river in a basket
The current was just right and my mother loved me
tonight on this passover night
Sell your brother for brotherly love
Hopefully the bridge ain't burned
You'll see him again someday
I haven't seen as many animals as Noah
Besides, he was hoarding them all,
After building the new world from native wood
Lucifer was canned from heaven
After he tried to kick God offstage
He now has his own show to run
They ate the forbidden fruit
Setting the way of life eternity
Simply by setting the world on fire
When the staff slither's snake
One better harvest before it's too late
