At the pinnacle of mediocrity
The priest of high hypocrisy
His web of deceit spread across the land
Enslaver of the gullible
Declarer of the fanciful
Darkness descent by his hand
How many time have the innocent
Unjustly suffered your wrath
Condemned to the pyre
And the mercy of the blade
Of the courageous few who testified
To the fallacy of the cross
Their noble lives were sacrificed
At the altar of corruption
Guilt in the innocent
Fear in the young
A false sense of righteousness in the wrong
Self depravation
Genital mutilation
These offerings are laid
At the altar of corruption
The bewildered herd is bonded
Under the guilt-lash born youth
Shackles and chains may never assuage
The thirst tormenting the seekers of truth
The rabid pack will bay for blood
In the frenzy of the kill
Propitiations of smoldering flesh
Fail to coerce the earth be still
Fearsome tales of torture
March unchallenged throught the night
Anguished screams fade to whisper
In the coldness of the light
Hasten the day when the darkness is expelled
See the blood of the righteous spilled
Free the yoke from this brave new world
Over the corpse of the one god, felled
