Institutions Of Deceit

Disgraceful, the evil done by false prophets in God's name 
Profit from intimidating poor, lost souls into the flock 
Selling a grand facade, pompous posturing in vain 
Reinforce spiritual weakness, insecurity 

Forgotten essential, freedom of choice 
All goodness is discarded, kindness affected 
Right or wrong, coerce the congregation mob 
To abide your tumid words, the only god they know 

Selective agenda with no foundation in truth 
Corruption, stumbling block, ruined credibility 
Vulgar salesmen growing fat, lies you tell consume your sheep 
Crucify the innocent, absolve yourself with dollar bills 

Self-righteous, presuming, cast stones of hypocrisy 
Impose your nauseating, senseless fantasy 
Built on payment, not contrition, speciously redeemed 
Iniquity, punishment on anyone who disobeys 

Forgotten essential, the freedom of choice 
All goodness is discarded, kindness affected 
Selling out redemption you will never grasp 
Disgrace all men of faith 

Self-righteous, presuming, cast stones of hypocrisy 
Impose your nauseating, senseless fantasy 
Built on payment, not contrition, speciously redeemed 
Iniquity, punishment on anyone who disobeys 

Unwillingness to accept reality 
Myopic grip on the words of men 
Blind loyalty without faith, service to an institution 
Betraying trust, and our liberty 

Sin of greater depth than those you would save 
Blaming tragedy on our intolerance 
You spent your life as a sordid pharisee 
Unjust, don't be shocked when you're barred from Paradise
