lyrics

Grovel low on bended knee
Giving in willingly
Hopeless, the scriptures speak in
Vulgar vowels and syllables

Shackles forged of parables
These are binding words
Empty margins the vacant lot
to annotate a life

We are weighted down
We stumble on empty claims
Alibis for atrocious deeds
And yet we never falter [off course]

Kneel down on bended knee
Giving in willingly
Hopeless,the scriptures speak in
Vulgar vowels and syllables

Eyes that steal innocence
The sorcery of piety
Cruelty finds a recipient
In the hearts of some

Your Gods, your temple serves
Their minds are hung on crosses
The valley runs with the blood
Of all who enter here

Your Gods, your temple serves
Their minds are strung on crosses
Strung zealous with wilful torpor
From their very own parapets

Your Gods are living stone
Weight of compacted dirt
Peaks now men at arms
The sentries of the sky
