Cult
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Opression is the holy law
In God I distrust
In time monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
It's war and creed the master plan
The bible's where it all began
It's propaganda shouts despair
And spreads this virus everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion is obscene
Religion is a whore
The pestilence of Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult for purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
666!
Corruption breeds the paedophile
Don't pray for the priest
Confession finds the lonely child
God preys on the weak
You think your soul can still be saved
I think you're fucking miles away
Scream out loud, heres where you begin
Forgive me Father for I have sinned!
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion is obscene
Religion is a whore
The target's fucking Jesus Christ
I would've lead the sacrifice
And nailed him to the crucifix
Beware the cult for purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
666!
Jesus is pain
Jesus is gore
Jesus is the blood
That's spilled in war
He's everything
He's all things dead
He's pulling down the trigger pointed at your head!
Through fear you're sold into the fraud
Revelation, Revolution, I see through your Christ Illusion
The war on terror just drags along
My war with God is growing strong
His propaganda sells despair
And spreads the violence everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion is obscene
Religion is a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the call for purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
666!
