Power And Shame

So much wealth, so much to say

So man lives, are kept at bay

Your hold is tight upon the weak and dispossessed

Centuries of our enslavement have enabled you to flourish

Your influence is selfish as you line your halls in fold

With regal houses more of greed than of God your truth is shown

So much fire, so much zeal

So much opulence, that you can't feel

The apathy you've shown the world as you hide behind your "Son"

You show a face of great concern while you look the other way

The foundations you were built upon are nothing more than lies

The remnants of your glory days, now just markers for your grave

Watch them all die for you

Skin them alive with passion

Take all their lives for you

Raping the world forever

Ignore the cries, ignore the pleas

What's good for you is not for them

Let them suffer, let them die

There's always souls you'll need to save
