Lyrics
The Sermon
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.
Suit up for destruction
Death looks behind many faces
Hatred plants its deepest seed
In the most obvious places
Symbols of allegiance
Chaos spells devotion
Evil is their sanction
The master plan is set in motion
Oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low
Self-respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
And you're going blind
Now let it flow
Waiting to deliver
Imposing martial laws of pain
KKK or CIA
They are one and all the same
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low
Self-respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
And you're going blind
Can't get to me or abuse me
Your racist tears will amuse me
And then you'll bleed
Now let it flow
Charismatic leaders
Preach their sermons of ignorance
Please take heed soon my friends
Promises won't cleanse the sins
Oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low
Self-respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
And you're going blind
Now let it flow
