Lyrics
You fed them your lies and you stole all their earnings away.
You deceived people with falsehoods and unlawfully took away their earnings.
You made a market for those that want to be saved.
You created a market for those seeking salvation.
What you're doing isn't something new. Religion is an ancient form of revenue.
Engaging in such actions is not new; religion has historically been a source of income.
Your pockets fill as you betray their trust. Your gaudy cross encased in rust.
Your wealth grows as you betray the trust of others, symbolized by a deteriorating cross.
The needy starve while you take your fill. Eyes to the sky with your hand in the till.
The less fortunate suffer while you satisfy your own needs, hypocritically looking towards the heavens.
You spread the plague while you sell the cure, a modern day zealot entrepreneur.
You contribute to the problem while claiming to provide the solution, portraying a contemporary religious entrepreneur.
You take advantage of those who seek the help, by selling pardons from hell.
You exploit those seeking help by selling them indulgences.
Your scripture says give up what you own, but yet you preach from a golden throne.
Despite scriptures urging relinquishing possessions, you preach from opulent surroundings.
Without sin, they'd have no reason to buy into belief turned enterprise.
If there were no sins, people would have no incentive to invest in a belief-turned-business.
You lie. You steal. You'll be dragged down by your greed. You're nothing more than a pious thief.
You engage in lying and stealing motivated by greed, branding you as a dishonest religious figure.
You'll never admit, you only bow to the gilded profit.
You refuse to acknowledge, bowing only to material profit.
You spread the plague while you sell the cure, a modern day zealot entrepreneur.
Reiteration of contributing to problems while selling a supposed solution.
You take advantage of those who seek the help, by selling pardons from hell.
Continued exploitation of those in need through the sale of pardons.
Your scripture says give up what you own, but yet you preach from a golden throne.
Contradiction between scriptural teachings and personal actions, preaching from a luxurious position.
Without sin, they'd have no reason to buy into belief turned enterprise.
Highlighting the irony of profiting from sin while advocating abandoning possessions for faith.
You hoard every dollar you find, but if you practiced what you preached you'd leave it all behind.
Accumulating wealth contradicts the preached message of leaving material possessions behind.
You can't pull your riches through a needles eye. You can't save us from a falling sky.
Wealth cannot be taken into the afterlife, and religious figures cannot prevent impending disasters.
You spread the plague while you sell the cure, a modern day zealot entrepreneur.
Reiteration of contributing to problems while selling a supposed solution.
You take advantage of those who seek the help, by selling pardons from hell.
Continued exploitation of those in need through the sale of pardons.
Your scripture says give up what you own, but yet you preach from a golden throne.
Contradiction between scriptural teachings and personal actions, preaching from a luxurious position.
Without sin, they'd have no reason to buy into belief turned enterprise
Highlighting the irony of profiting from sin while advocating abandoning possessions for faith.
