lyrics

The pious said, "it's suffering that brings you closer."
Next to "him", an eternity of scars.
Next to "him", Next to "him"
Next to "him", Next to "him"

Leave them drooling, longing for death
From pious to poisoned to last breath
Forcing murder, for holy ascent
from child to martyr to descent
Gasping for air, the doctrine that stokes
From fire to freedom to smoke

Sworn to uphold the vile words of men pretending to be gods.
Empty and weak and hollow, taking from the peasants of tomorrow.
Blistered and lecherous, raping the beauty of the world.
Born of a seed of sorrow, taking from the terrified fools.
Pious
Poisoned
Pious
Poisoned

Leave them drooling, longing for death
From pious to poisoned to last breath
Forcing murder, for holy ascent
from child to martyr to descent
Gasping for air, the doctrine that stokes
From fire to freedom to smoke

The pious said, "it's suffering that brings you closer."
Next to "him", an eternity of scars.
Next to "him", Next to "him"
Next to "him", Next to "him"
