handful of guilt, handful of greed.
handful of bullets, handful of teeth.
we're all afraid, always afraid.
believe what you want. believe what you will.
deceiving disciples. pincushion of blame.
discontent with a hatred of hate.
they tell of an angel coming? great liar, great thief.
witness: welcome.
word travels fast. screams travel further.
so we pass around a plate.
pitch in what you can. not too much now... not too much.
what’s the price for those pearly gates?
blood above the doorway to protect the son.
no one wants to go get their hands dirty.
live it up. get your hands dirty. and repent.
the king demands more silver and gold.
