lyrics

Cross Revelation
January 27, 1992

1)
in a shroud you sit behind the altar
eyes a mask from your next believer
come to seek shelter
come to pay penance
shuddering in the wrath
of your lying god

you are the father
the one they turn to in imagined sin
use them, use them
trap them in a descant
make them do your dirty work

you are the prince of sorrow
the master of libelous chains
you are the belief that breaks them
bends them to your will
ah, to make them bow

2)
they came to you to be well
you make them feel dirty
only then to cleanse them
make them owe you
this, your control

you tell them of sinful pleasures
wait until they follow
drag them scraping through the guilt
making sure they have nowhere to run
then you kick out their legs
lock the shackles
ah, to make them bow
imagined master

they cannot now be clean without you
this you know
this they know
the spider drifting in its web
spitting sticky venom
there is no better source of blood
than those who sacrifice themselves

3)
you call out to them
tell them what they must do
twist them to an unreal god
perhaps to make them real
assuredly
to make them yours

my children bow ye down before him
you are his – to do his bidding
holy crusades
and wars to be waged
rise up
rise up
on our master’s word

and they follow you
lambs to the minted meal of lamb
holy wards of inept angels
caught up in the reassurance
what they do is right
bidding is word

4)
join me now in the song of killing
join me now –
revel in the blood of the enemy
his is not of our god
destroy him of necessity
false believer
and take his children to the way of light
