Blood comes down like heavy rain A creature steps out of the innocence of man Singing and dancing to our death rattles Veil of virtue hides its wicked ways As we play its’ anthem With our roaring instruments Burning the world as we go Performing on stage Or watching the show
Blood flows like a river Where many lambs are brought to slaughter Sacrificed for a creature That wears a holy veil From which it hides its’ smile And laughs as these ignorant and blind few Spill the blood of the innocent lambs Brought to slaughter Because they would not become this creature
The creature laughs, smiles, dances and sings To the chorus of their bloodshed And the trembling of the lamb Who did nothing wrong Except to be alive Shakes the earth in terrible shudders
Inside its shell, the creature waits Where no one can see Listening to our deadly symphonies As the hate rises.
On its throne It rules the world Tempting the heart of man Laughing as it goes Leading the lamb
Astray
While confused angels watch And its’ minions amuse It will never be sated with our blood Not even when the world is a crimson ocean
But for the lost lamb there is hope: A shepherd to lead it safely On its way, its way home Too many wayward lambs have left their shepherd To run into the jaws of this repugnant creature I pray their Sheppard will find them soon...
