Contagion

By Flayed_Soul

The blood of the savior is washed away with innocent sacrifice
Risen and killed again and again; the price paid by those with no choice.
The truths we all want to know held fast in their grasp
Told to fear the serpent from the mouth of the asp.
Satan inherited Earth as his kingdom, this some think is true,
He tempts everyone, yet the only ones capable of evil are me and you.
If the Devil rules Earth, why not call his home
The last great kingdom, whose seat lies in Rome?
Who else but the Lord of Lies would tell you it's okay
To kill so many people as long as when they're buried, you pray?
And don't forget the tithe that saves your soul
Because power can't operate on an empty offering bowl.
Look closely and you will find
Their greatest advantage is a wasted mind
Because with this you will never find out
Why those who think have so much doubt.
Robes cannot hide what the perceptive can see:
That God's regent on Earth is Man's enemy.
The seed of your damnation
Lies in the hope of your salvation.
