The Righteous Lost

Open arms are eager to deceive you

I prey on the prayers of the meager

I strive to sow the weak, I yearn for their sorrow

These easy targets I seek, I plan to hollow

It's your painful stories that I adore

I absorbe them all, and I still dig for more

Please place another dollar in the till

As I dig deeper through your pointless swill

Rotten soul

Rotten soul

Reaching for your tears for they fuel me through and through

Succulent tears

I suck at the teat of your beliefs

And scrape the bowels until you bleed

I am adored by all, yet scorned by more

This false prophet still yearns for more

The pathetic, blinded faithful are pathetic simple people

These pathetic, hopeful sinners are just sheep

I am a liar, I am a thief

I am a liar, the unholy profiteer

I am a liar, I am a thief

I am a liar, the unholy profiteer

Revere me for my penitent rule

I'm nothing but an actor at heart

A man that knows how to light a spark

A guiding light leading you deeper down

I am a liar, I am a thief

I am a liar, the unholy profiteer

Through my words, I will control you

Once I have decided to bleed you dry

Till the day I can no longer use you

Then I will simply cast you aside
