lyrics

drop to your knees and show your mouth to a priest and accept the body from his holy hand. his clean, white leash tells you who he is. your confessions are meaningless. lift the veil of shit, don't let these pigs convince you that your guilt is your own, they put it there to break you. who does your soul belong to? my father is my shadow. my brother, my reflection. don't promise me a kingdom, i've got my own direction. every day is a fucking stride, but i won't yield to their vicious lies. raise your fist to an empty sky. these fools are thinking that they've earned their place by his side while they pass along collection plates. i lift my head against the church, a big black beast with an insatiable thirst. hold the reins upon my maker's back, carve the words into its filthy neck; life is wasted. failure defined.
