You call yourself a man of god

While teaching violence to a teenage boy

You call yourself a teacher of love

While all you're doing is playing off my fear

You tried to fool me, “god loves you”

You tried to scare me, “You'll go to hell”

I bowed to gilded crosses bathed in blood

I bowed to gilded crosses bathed in blood

I bowed to gilded crosses bathed in…

Crosses bathed in blood…

Crosses…

While teaching violence to a teenage boy

You call yourself a teacher of love

While all you're doing is playing off my fear

You tried to fool me, “god loves you”

You tried to scare me, “You'll go to hell”

You tried to fool me, “god loves you”

You tried to scare me, “You'll go to hell”

Faith in what you've shown

Far away from what I've known

It rang in my ears

Glistened on your face

All the promise, all the hope

All the promise all the hope I sought in your words

Faith in what you've shown

Far away from what I've known

It rang in my ears

Glistened on your face

All the promise, all the hope

All the promise all the hope I sought in your words
