You swore that any time I'd call your name You'd part the swells to reach my side But as the red sea's jaws unhinged to bare its teeth Moses was swept beneath the tide
I followed your commandments As they paved my path to hell You harangue of love and mercy But absolved no angels as they fell
The pastor preaches to the pulpit A sultry sermon of weightless words Sells salvation for the price he names Voicing the will of God in slurs
Make a mantra of the Peace you seek But bend and break with weight of sin Contradicting every word you speak Extorting fears the human heart contains within
Well I'm the calloused hand of God I'm the righteous light of truth Don't dare ye falter in your faith Don't dare ye ask for proof
Take vengeance in my sacred name Strip sacrilegious flesh from bone But dare ye not take it in vain For pride is my sinful vice, alone
