    Lyrics

    Pride you took, pride you feel
    Pride that you felt when you’d kneel
    Not the word, not the love
    Not what you thought from above

    It feeds, it grows
    It clouds all that you will know
    Deceit, deceive
    Decide just what you believe

    I see faith in your eyes
    Never you hear the discouraging lies
    I hear faith in your cries
    Broken is the promise, betrayal
    The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
    Follow the god that failed

    Find your peace, find your say
    Find the smooth road in your way
    Trust you gave, a child to save
    Left you cold and him in grave

    It feeds, it grows
    It clouds all that you will know
    Deceit, deceive
    Decide just what you believe

    I see faith in your eyes
    Never you hear the discouraging lies
    I hear faith in your cries
    Broken is the promise, betrayal
    The healing hand held back by the deepened nail
    Follow the god that failed

    Lyrics

    Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
    Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
    Please, please
    Spreading his disease, living by his story
    Knees, knees
    Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
    You will

    Time for lust, time for lie
    Time to kiss your life goodbye
    Send me money, send me green
    Heaven you will meet
    Make a contribution
    And you’ll get a better seat
    Bow to Leper Messiah

    Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
    Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
    Chain, chain
    Join the endless chain
    Taken by his glamour
    Fame, Fame
    Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
    We see

    Time for lust, time for lie
    Time to kiss your life goodbye
    Send me money, send me green
    Heaven you will meet
    Make a contribution
    And you’ll get a better seat
    Bow to Leper Messiah

    Witchery, weakening
    Sees the sheep are gathering
    Set the trap, hypnotize
    Now you follow

    Time for lust, time for lie
    Time to kiss your life goodbye
    Send me money, send me green
    Heaven you will meet
    Make a contribution
    And you’ll get a better seat

    Lie
    Lie
    Lie
    Lie
    Lie
    Lie
    Lie
    Lie

    Lyrics

    No more!
    The crap rolls out your mouth again
    Haven’t changed, your brain is still gelatin
    Little whispers circle around your head
    Why don’t you worry about yourself instead

    Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
    Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
    You lie so much you believe yourself
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are

    You know not

    Before you judge me take a look at you
    Can’t you find something better to do
    Point the finger, slow to understand
    Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand

    It’s not who you are it’s who you know
    Others lives are the basis of your own
    Burn your bridges build them back with wealth
    Judge not lest ye be judged yourself

    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are
    You know not

    Yeah
    Who the hell are you?

    Hey you

    Holier than thou
    You are
    Holier than thou
    You are

    You know not
    Know not
