Spear the Puritan Lyrics


Do you hear it, the apocalypse is nigh

What we do doesn't matter cause we're just waiting to die

Extortion, fear is the price for forgiveness

Forget decency and reason, religion will dictate how we live

Whitewashed Christ, waving stars and stripes

Defined by tyrants and liars, and rulers of Reichs

Divine right, distorted history and contradictory visions

Hypocrisy and violence killing by the millions

Evangelize to earn your place, use platitudes to mask your hate

Narrative of martyrdom, suffer for the Lord

All who live in sin will die by the sword

Spear the Puritan abusing in God's name

Behead the bigot who kills the innocent with shame

Hollow god in a starless heaven, warden of a psychological prison

This indignation, resistance and retaliation

Is not the same as waging war in the name of hatred

They want your resignation, fearful and vulnerable

You know it's a cult when their leaders are never culpable

God is a proxy to fulfill their fragile power fantasy

Conform and obey, collapse your individuality

Religious fervor is the human condition

We don't just gatekeep salvation, condemn all who are different

Money and power, fortune and fame

We've made a false god in a mirror of shame

The blood that has been shed will wash away that which you have spilled
