Lament of Cain2

You have herded my people like sheep...leading them to the slaughter, starting with the first-born. Your rod and your staff, they oppress me. You have turned your laws and statutes against me. You have abandoned me into the desert to be eaten by vultures. YOu have pillaged and plundered my peaceful settlements, killing my brothers and sisters and children, taking the young virgins for your pleasure, dividing the plunder among your officers...the high priest recieves the choicest cuts of meat and the remainder is divided among the priests to sell in the marketplace. cursed be your god who requires blood for the remission of sins. Your god is your stomach and your pride.

Technicolor Jesus

when every ride you take just carries you to nowhere
and every train you catch takes you further down the line
you can follow me but I don't know where I'm going
but I don't think it really matters all the same

When you're searching for a god beyond the staind glass windows
Technicolor Jesus don't turn water into wine
You can follow me but i don't know where i'm going
but i don't think it really matters all the same

When your reflection turns to stone behind the rails across the mirror
the bats are silent, sweeping thru the sky across the moon
the chimes of the churchbells echo thru the alley
outside on the catwalk I hear a pipers tune
You can follow me but i don't know where i'm going
but i don't think it really matters all the same
searching for a god beyond the staind glass windows
technicolor jesus don't turn water into wine
