Cult of the Lamb

Lyrics

[Intro: Chi-Chi] State your piece Holiness is prey to me If you wanna save your peace Then you better pray to me, now [Verse 1: Cam Steady] Heedin' my heathenous honor I'm ceasin' belief in the fathers In preachin' their peace for their sons and their daughters As we see them leadin' the sheep to the slaughter The prophecy properly needs me a goner They offer me off to the dеmons as fodder I'm brought to be offed to rеdeem their dishonor Hypocrisy dawned on these hedonist martyrs My vision is farther, now I understand Compassion is human, but I am no man Where prophets have profited off of the lamb The one who is waiting's extendin' a hand He says, "I'll return here to Earth to awaken my plan Rebirth is a curse to obey my demands So the power, posterity, pleasure is promised Now promise yourself as a slave to the damned" I say, "I've seen enough to abandon my faith You have my trust and I'll stand in your name I'll bury my love in a pentagram grave And I'll shovel your army above its remains As we ready this realm for receivin' your reign All the Bishops behind your enchainment will pay In the cult of occults sell their soul as they pray To the one with the crown on their brow to be saved" [Chorus: Cam Steady] (Ha! Ho!) Read from the ritual scripture and chant (Ha! Ho!) The bein' below us has taken a stand (Ha! Ho!) Belief and abandonment holdin' their hands The creed and the factions of olden are damned You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb (Ha! Ho!) We bleed for the demons to give us a chance (Ha! Ho!) To preach our new sacrilege over the land (Ha! Ho!) Redeemin' the power unholiness grants Esteemed with the crown as I pull on the strands You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb [Verse 2: Cam Steady] Return to the surface, I rise With a purpose to service the church of demise By incurrin' the church's demise Servant to word of the wise is divertin' The turn of the tide, it's a turbulent time Our herd is convergin', the birds aren't chirpin' Impermanence circles the sky The birth of our murderous tribe And now open the curtains and show them your lies Show them the blindness befallin' your eyes Show them the silencin' call of your cries Show them the highest are deafened with pride Show them the emptiness within your mind That is causin' us pestilence, famine, and war by design And the chaos that breaks when you slay or divide We'll be breakin' the chains 'til Narinder arrives [Chorus: Cam Steady] (Ha! Ho!) Read from the ritual scripture and chant (Ha! Ho!) The bein' below us has taken a stand (Ha! Ho!) Belief and abandonment, holdin' their hands The creed and the factions of olden are damned You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb (Ha! Ho!) We bleed for the demons to give us a chance (Ha! Ho!) To preach our new sacrilege over the land (Ha! Ho!) Redeemin' the power unholiness grants Esteemed with the crown as I pull on the strands You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb [Verse 3: Cam Steady] Oh no, I guess I'm face-to-face with hopelessness When I make my way below again And I have a intervention with my holy friend He cries now, that "The hex is lifted It's time your final test is given Just lay your life, and the rest is written" But the sacrifice seems sacrilegious, like I wear the crown of this crowd That I founded from mounds of the dirt We had an agreement, I'm changin' the terms You made me a demon, you're leavin' the scene a subordinate serf 'Cause, you see, a new order is birth You can slave for the shepherd who warned with the church Or just beg for your death if you bore with the work They ignorin' the sheep, now we stormin' the Earth [Bridge: Chi-Chi] State your piece Holiness is prey to me If you wanna save your peace Then you better pray to me, now Make believe Obedience'll break you free The frightened have forsaken me Enlightenment awakens me once more [Chorus: Cam Steady] (Ha! Ho!) Read from the ritual scripture and chant (Ha! Ho!) The bein' below us has taken a stand (Ha! Ho!) Belief and abandonment, holdin' their hands The creed and the factions of olden are damned You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb (Ha! Ho!) We bleed for the demons to give us a chance (Ha! Ho!) To preach our new sacrilege over the land (Ha! Ho!) Redeemin' the power unholiness grants Esteemed with the crown as I pull on the strands You can't lead the sheep in a cult of the lamb
