The Righteous Hand

Masses bleed to the lash of the God they made

Suffer and manipulate

Peter kills Paul, but Pontius's profit remains

A parable they create

Blind us to life, tell us death is our only escape

Watch as the hunted pray

The nails in his hands keep his mercy away

Jesus sells

And the high-rise smiles as we submit like prey

Righteous hands guide us to a world of pain

Killing us from the dark

Their hands stay clean as we rip ourselves apart

A babe in his mother's arms

God gave her free will, so she has to choose who will starve

Suffer in silence

Doublethink is heresy

In the eyes of a fascist God

Hunger folds to human greed

Suffer yourself away from loss

Atheism is a luxury

The working poor can't buy

The haves keep us on marionette strings

Hung from a fucking cross

Man sees

God bleeds

Man sees

God bleeds

The rich exist through a paper savior

The righteous hand drowns us in sulfur

Falling again through the holes in His hands
