lyrics

I AM THE VOICE OF GOD!

You were supposed to protect them,
Never forget the faces you never saw because they failed their mission,
Erased from my memory like a stain on the pages of their treason.
I will erase you from my mind.

I gave you power, exalted you above the commonplace,
Yet you insulted me and spit your hateful abuse back in my face.
You were commanded to bring justice,
So let the blood of your victims cleanse your name from the books!

I dropped that grace like a rope to pull your soul from Hell,
Instead you wore it like a noose, still dead inside your prison cell.
"Be my hands" as you wrapped your fingers tight around their necks,
"Let the children come to me," the ones you haven't sold as slaves yet.

I set eternity in your hearts,
Yet your eyes can't see past the lust and greed driven into your stars,

This is the way it's always been, the way it's always been,
Progress impeded by mindless religion.

Created equal from the dust of the earth,
Yet you treat your charges like dirt,
I will bring retribution,
When I speak the lies will fall silent.
