The Devil's In The Temple

This was a church
A house full of prayer
It ain't that now
I could tear it down
There's thieves at the altar
A snake wears the crown
Handing you coal
Swearing it's gold
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior’s come and gone
We're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
I'd turn things around
I would if I could
Crash through the gates
Break every chain
Jail for the jailers
Sing freedom’s song
Amazing grace
Burn down this place
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior’s come and gone
We're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
Look what they've done to this house of love
Look what they've done to this house of love
The devil's in the temple and he's making a mess
Got the Mona Lisa, got his hands up her dress
The gun is in his hand but he ain't gonna confess, he lies
Look what they've done to this house of love
It's too late to turn the river to blood
The savior’s come and gone
We're all out of time
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
The devil's in the temple and he ain't no friend of mine
