Man creates the god
|
and the god destroys the man
|
Betrayed by their own invention
|
the shepherd butches the lamb
|
A lion at the head of an army
|
of sheep when comes time to feed
|
Like Saturn devoured his children
|
they¡¯re consumed by belief
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I am the chosen one
|
and I hold the key
|
Behold the prodigal son
|
This good I do lives long after me
|
Let iconoclasm set you free
|
|
Christ is the same yesterday
|
and today, forever a lie
|
They concocted the heavens
|
to keep all the puppets in line
|
Narcotic, addictive desire
|
to believe they won¡¯t go to hell
|
A dog that has bitten its master
|
that it once knew so well
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Figment of imagination
|
Oracle of ignorance
|
Corrupter of society
|
killer of reason and innocence
|
An object of man¡¯s creation
|
made to fill the hole inside
|
But that abyss has only been opened wide
|
|
[Solo: Gary]
|
[Solo: Lee]
|
|
Wolves they guard the flock
|
And they slaughter the sick and the weak
|
Sorrow is all that they find
|
When salvation is all that they seek
|
The truth is the greatest lord
|
where no fool commands the wise
|
Religion ten times undone
|
no room for compromise
|
|
[Chorus]
|
