What I Am

You preach salvation as if
You could do no harm
But your words are visceral...
Hatred is their spawn
Toxic in nature
Dripping with the stench of fear
A coward's lies still haunt me
O' these many years

Take a look around you friend
This world's not your alone
You keep belching bile
Trying to keep your gilded throne
Your righteousness is tethered
To hypocrisy
Delay your judgement till the old
Man comes our way

Let god judge me... Let god judge me!
Words like "sin" and "blasphemy"
They're wasted on me
Take your judgement and be damned
God knows what I am!

The beauty of this life
Must escape your crimson eyes
The word of god
You've twisted as you please
"Well you've got to believe..."
