God Rules His Empire

We are weaklings and cowards
Just ordinary men
We’re attracted to fire
But don’t want to get burned
We deserve all your contempt
Why are you so involved?
There is something about you
That I don’t understand
He knows we are credulous
He knows how to lie
We’re awaiting a message
Waiting for a sign
All we have is self-loathing
Bitterness in our mouth
He knows everything we need
He knows how to lie
He knows that animals bleed
God rules his empire
Relief — far away
Reward — far away
Far away
