As in insider to the workings of the church
I can say with all honesty
That the most judgmental people to ever exist
Are those who belong to the congregations of the earth
For those who claim to be the children of the divine
Cast curses so quickly on everyone they can find
Especially on those who do not fit into the mold of their "righteous" insight
Yet what was to be pure you've stolen and defiled
So if I'm not mistaken
Was it not from His desire that this body was formed?
Are you not of the One who gave the sign of Jonah?
And from this God-Man who said,
That it was His desire that all men come unto Himself?
This exclusion is such a waste
For I've seen it to be the worst of my kins faults
When a child molests another child
You are so inspired to speak a spirit takes charge of your mouth
A harsh rebuke followed by a call to cannibalistic punishment
Kill or be killed and you think this is Gods heart?
Rather then the perfect love that makes all wrongs right
You gave a child over to Satan and all for what?
A mistake made by a young soldier in need of light?
So you drew your swords and aimed your bows
Lusting for a boy to be hung and his family cast out
So that they may face the cold world alone in order of payment to what?
Don't you see that you were the ones who were placed in their path,
For this was the purpose in which you were to act
To show love and bring about repentance without carnal injustice
This boy needed help and what did you reach for first?
A syringe full of poison and you jammed it into his heart
Is this the love your master talked about?
Was this the royal law laid down by the Savior slain for your broken-heart?
Yet the thing that takes it from bad to worse
When the Shepard stood up and fulfilled the call of Christ
You took the needle from the boys heart
And stabbed it into this mans back without a thought
Truth prevailed in the end but at what cost?
You severed the life line from yourselves
The silver chord was turned to ash and your spirit enslaved
Blinding your eyes and being put back under the weight
After what your King did you've cheapened His work
Paying the price with blood for your sake
You forgot that your freedom was given by three nails placed
How swiftly you've all turned and shielded your face
To sort it all out it must be like this
Those who stand at the foot of the cross
Have forgotten the cries of the innocent who hung in their place
So now you'd rather face away from His gaze
For now we've become the very men
Who hurled the insults at the one who spoke of life in His death
As your child I am hurt and it kills me to see
That my little brother was led like a sheep to the slaughter
All while you held the sheers sharpened by your hardened hearts
No wonder the world hates us
They see this hypocrisy and jump head first into the fire reserved for hell itself
Wait until the day of truth is revealed
And your God stands with tears in His eyes
For the verdict will be sure as He reads
It was you who killed my sons and rejected my calls
Yet it is not I who cast you out
You put yourself in the darkness
When you walked out of church that night
