The Gothic Statue Lyrics - Deinonychus

Ancient and lifeless, like god's perfect idols 

The statues looked down and unspeaking saw 

The hypocrisy uttered within these four walls 

Is this the palace of a just god at all? 

For many were the wars we saw, many fought and 

died 

God's kingdom prospered upon those corpses 

piled high 

Giving sanctimony to slaughter, the churches 

killed for christ 

We saw that their religion was the hand that 

held the knife 

Now the altar is silent and claimed by the 

dust 

This building crumbles from disuse and 

mistrust 

The annals of infamy attest to the last great 

truth 

Religion is a whore (and we the fools)!
