lyrics

Lyrics:

In the beginning was the word
And that word was lie
This holy book is filled with holes
But where’s the surprise?
Mere superstition’s
A fiction in disguise
Gavaged to minds
Savaged by design

These are the seven deadliest sins
Promising, with grins,
That prayer is medicine
These are the seven deadliest sins
An early graves the place
Where you’re heading

Pandemonium

Violent beasts
Defiling sheep with spite
Whiling, beguiling
All the while sweeping out the light
Empires that preach leach upon
Dwindling wealth
Kindled in stealth
To swindle your health

These are the seven deadliest sins
Promising, with grins,
That prayer is medicine
These are the seven deadliest sins
An early graves the place
Where you’re heading

Pandemonium

If you’re the kind of person
Who knows their right from wrong
Stand up be counted and
Don’t ever bite your tongue
They can’t deny you
Nor deprive you of the truth
It’s high time the chickens
Come home to roost

There’s no happy ever after
Only pain and insane laughter
If you think it holds the answers
You are strolling toward disaster

We’re told to praise padres
For every waking hour
So they can count the filthy riches
That they’ve devoured
In temples carved and trimmed with purest gold
We live in squalor cuz of dollar those collars stole!

If you’re the kind of person
Who knows their right from wrong
Stand up be counted and
Don’t ever bite your tongue
They can’t deny you
Nor deprive you of the truth
It’s high time the chickens
Come home to roost

There’s no happy ever after
Only pain and insane laughter
If you think it holds the answers
You are strolling toward disaster fast!
