Sanctuary Burns

Where there were
Shiny bells to announce
The moment to pray has come
Now there rise
Headless corpses burning
Just like you used to do
Where there was
The source of your divine water
To mix with blood
You deserve
To drown in the holy now turned
In venom falls
Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!
We have to suffer for what the prophecy said
Break the altar, there’s gold inside
Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time
Kill the adepts, steal their necklace
Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise
Where there were
Their ceremonial daggers
We built our armory
Where the priestess
Was screaming the ritual
We have elected our ministry
Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!
We have to suffer for what the prophecy said
Break the altar, there’s gold inside
Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time
Kill the adepts, steal their necklace
Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise
Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn
Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed
Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land
Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a desert of his home and yours
He is the harbinger of death
Burn their saints, their sons, save some slaves!
We have to suffer for what the prophecy said
Break the altar, there’s gold inside
Redeem yourselves one more time, one last time
Kill the adepts, steal their necklace
Burn the ground this is the best place for us to rise
