Babylon the Great
Lyrics
Please won't you teach me preacher man Show me in spite of all the blood dripping from your hands Blind guide can't you lead me into the holy promised land From the scrolls that have been treasured with the Master Plan Forbidden fruits that you bear in the words you speak So full of pride you're dead inside with the lies you teach The prophets and the servants tell of possessions for the meek Stored in a place it's a disgrace You won't help me reach Now the bridegroom finally arrives in the middle of the night Who are the ones in the dark, lost without any light It seemed so long ago by a measure of time One thousand years is but a day in your holy mind Now the door has been closed and with a key it is locked The Master will return to gather his flock And some that are left in trust of such precious things Are left cold in the dark weeping and gnashing through crooked teeth of sin Did we not heal the sick, perform great works in your name? Did we not feed you and clothe you, cared for you when you were lame? When you were thirsty, did we not give you water to drink? We are the sons of Abraham, Isaac, We don't care! With these hands full of stones The choices I make are all my own I'll cast these rocks to break your bones Hear them gnash their teeth, as they weep and moan
