So righteous you are, so noble and just
The figure that guides, in one lays his trust
You stand on the altar you preach and you damn
Everyone listens and follows your scams
You are the one chosen, at least that's what you say
But wrath is cast quick on those who dare stray
Your love is a grip that tightens with time
A finger that pushes those close through the mud and the grime
Oh wise prophet hear my prayer
Oh noble guide, help through despair
Listen, take heed, and do not stray
Because if you do, no help is the pray (prey)
Your deeds are all known, you tell them all day
Just nod and listen and don't turn away
You sell them the poison and charge for the cure
You burn down the house just to keep the smoke pure
You counterfeit virtue, you're a thief in the light
You promise the dawn but you govern the night
You weave a soft blanket made woven with lead
T comforts the body but buries the head
Oh heavy savior, hear my prayer
Oh righteous king, who feeds on despair
Listen, take heed, and swallow the bait
For love is the mask that is worn by your hate
To those who are kneeling, look up at the strings
He clips off your feathers, then praises your wings
The altar is empty, the shadow is tall
He lifted you up, just to watch your fall
The cage has no iron, the door has no lock
It's built of the fear that he feeds to the flock
He needs you to need him, he starves on his own
A king of the ashes on a paper-thin throne
Oh fallen idol, we hear your prayer!
Oh hollow guide, who drown in despair!
The curtain is drawn, the faithful will stray
You stand in the dark, while we walk away!
Step out of the shadow
The cage has no lock
Leave him to preach to the stone and the rock.
