Crossed upon the Church
So now you claimed
your victory
In the name of
Our Father up above
Meanwhile you were removing the cross
from your shoulders
and raising it high wearing ****** gloves
You became an empire
demanding praise as if you were aΒ God
All the while trampling down the insignificant and burying under sod
You pass a silver plate expecting food for your selfish thoughts
Without your permission Heaven can't be bought
You pray to lifeless idols made by mortal man
Meanwhile gathering flocks of gold and herds of mansions while flying your jets across the land .
Your fields of salvation
are stuble that fires of justice will race through
Not even releasing enough heat to warm your heart orΒ bones
from the coming cold evening's dew
