The Lords of Hypocrisy

Figures of Religion that preach to society
Standing upright and tall
Screaming from the pulpit on Sunday morning
To save you from the fall
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don’t believe them; don’t believe what they say!
Tales of heaven and life everlasting
Fear of the eternal fire
Preaching lies of death and damnation
Whilst lifting themselves ever higher
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don’t believe them; don’t believe what they say!
Death will come to even the righteous
Only the good die young
So live your life the way that you want to
Don’t let them think they’ve won!
Can you hear them?
Can you see them?
Don’t believe them don’t believe what they say!
Unlock their minds and read their desires
See them in a different light
Pious figures reverently mumbling
But where did they spend last night?
They’re creatures of the night
They’re creatures of the shadows
That haunts the dark recesses of your mind
They turn you from the light to live in a nightmare
Into souls that are mentally blind!
