The Holy Mountain - Worship And Murder lyrics

You've brought much to bare At the feet of your lord Much to bare and much to make amends for If your christ walked in these days You'd have surely had him k**ed The failure to preach your fiery sermons Would find him condemned Words of peace and brotherhood Could not bode well for an agenda So hungry for conflict and acquisition That we wage a war That can never be won On the ears of animals All noble words are wasted Any attempt to better all human life Falls behind the desires of a selfish culture That thinks itself so benevolent In your human churches More plentiful than one could conceive The words spill out Both pride and wrath Both love and hope From within ornate houses Glittering temples to exalt a god Who shouldn't care for the expense of your shrines While people starve Who shouldn't be pleased for the wars in his name When two people that love each other cannot marry Who could not be proud of his children's need To draw borders across this land In a world of human failure Your god has closed his eyes While people die for nothing Your god has closed his eyes One life sacrificed could never pay this debt And you continue to pile your sins upon that cross
