Struck down dealing out mercy and slaughter
Temptation what’s one more lost sheep in the flock?
Don’t waste your time on such trivial things as salvation
We sell candles to blind men take food from the mouths of the lot
Children are you reading along?
Martyrs sacrificed for a song
No more time for the silver tounged liars
Temptation selling us more than you’ve got
Don’t turn around to see pasts that have been left behind us
No looking back no forgiveness in hell they will rot
I went to sleep in another world
Lost as I dreamed of our end
Seeing a fortune now lost to me
Then I wake up to find it was all in my head
Crosses fixed to frail men on an altar
Disgraceful images of paradise lost
What kind of spirit lets children pass on so before them
May we leave them behind start anew let the past be forgot
Children are you reading along?
Martyrs sacrificed for a song
