Come down off the cross you dead-hearted frauds

Criticizing hypocrites, urging them to abandon false virtues.

Default to your script, to your scripture

Suggesting reliance on a predetermined script or religious text.

Preaching life and worshipping death

Accusing those who preach life but embrace death.

Legislate to dominate, because your mantra's got nothing left

I saw the light

A black hole of selective conscience

All bodies were yours (said the Lord) to blame, shame, crush and control

Criticizing religious figures who use power to blame, shame, crush, and control.

Live from a pulpit, congress or court

Mentioning platforms (pulpit, congress, court) where such behavior is evident.

Life, what about it?

Raising a question about the value of life.

There's death in your heart

Accusing of harboring death in the heart, lacking empathy.

And you don't give a fuck

We know what you do

Asserting knowledge of their actions.

When they make it out of the womb the wrong color, sex or gender

Cut down at every turn

Expressing the constant obstacles faced by the marginalized.

Snuffed out with sanctity to burn

Dig a grave for the hypothetical
