9. The Sermon (4:39)
Suit up for destruction
Death looks behind many faces
Hatred plants its deepest seed
In the most obvious places
Symbols of allegiance
Chaos spells devotion
Evil is their sanction
The master plan is set in motion, oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Now let it flow...
Waiting to deliver
Imposing martial laws of pain
KKK or CIA
They are one and all the same, oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Can't get to me or abuse me
Your racist tears will amuse me
-- And then you'll bleed...
Now let it flow...
Charismatic leaders
Preach their sermons of ignorance
Please, take heed soon, my friends
Promises won't cleanse the sins
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Now let it flow...
Death looks behind many faces
Hatred plants its deepest seed
In the most obvious places
Symbols of allegiance
Chaos spells devotion
Evil is their sanction
The master plan is set in motion, oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Now let it flow...
Waiting to deliver
Imposing martial laws of pain
KKK or CIA
They are one and all the same, oh yeah!
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Can't get to me or abuse me
Your racist tears will amuse me
-- And then you'll bleed...
Now let it flow...
Charismatic leaders
Preach their sermons of ignorance
Please, take heed soon, my friends
Promises won't cleanse the sins
What the hell are you proud of?
Heads held low - self respect must be earned
Evil poisons taste just like wine
Swallow the lies until you are blind
-- And you're going blind
Now let it flow...
