Read Between the Lies

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Evangelist, you claim God speaks through you Your restless mouth, full of lies, gains popularity You care not for the old that suffer When empty pockets cry from hunger [Pre-Chorus] Penniless from their generosity Sharing their money to quench your greed Searching for the answer to their prayers They cry their last wish of need: [Chorus] "Save me" [Verse 2] "His spirit lives and breathes in me" The Almighty transformed to your screen The meanings lost in its translation No holy words, describe his deception [Pre-Chorus] You say you'll help us find the Lord Tell me, preacher, how do you know? A simple quest for a visible savior To lead us through our final prayer: [Chorus] "Save me" [Post-Chorus] Send your donations Contribute to the cause Luxuries, your righteous reward? "Praise the Lord, praise God" Is what you wish to sell There is no heaven without a hell [Guitar Solo: Kerry King] [Verse 3] In your mind's eye, could you truly believe That, by giving, you can save your soul Could you be so na�ve?! You heal the sick, you raise the dead You blind the congregation With the things you say [Bridge] Religious blackmail, a deceit of trust That death will come and all will be lost [Verse 4] Can you hear the serpent's call? Look deep in those deceiving eyes Ignore the writing on the wall You should read between the lies [Outro] When doubt subsides, his honesty An inquiry: Is it blasphemy? Impure, the soul that's made to suffer No sermons left to hide or cover An empty promise, lie unfulfilled To steal a dream or get it killed They claim your trip to heaven's nearby You may believe it, but Satan wouldn't lie
