Read Between The Lies Lyrics

    Evangelist you claim god speaks through you
    Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity
    You care not for the old that suffer
    When empty pockets cry from hunger

    Penniless from their generosity
    Sharing their money to quench your greed
    Searching for the answer to their prayers
    The cry their last wish of need
    Save me!

    His spirit lives and breathes in me
    The almighty transformed to your screen
    The meanings lost in its translation
    No holy words, describe his deception

    You say you'll help us find the lord
    Tell me preacher how do you know
    A simple quest for a visible savior
    To lead us through our final prayer
    Save me!

    Send your donations
    Contribute to the cause
    Luxuries, your righteous reward?

    Praise the lord, praise god
    Is what you wish to sell
    There is no heaven without a hell

    In your minds eye could you truly believe
    That by giving you can save your soul
    Could you be so naive!
    You heal the sick, raise the dead
    You blind the congregation
    With the things you say

    Religious blackmail a deceit of trust
    That death will come and all will be lost

    Can you hear the serpents call
    Look deep in those deceiving eyes
    Ignore the writing on the wall
    You should read between the lies

    When doubt subsides his honesty
    An inquiry, is it blasphemy?
    Impure the soul that's made to suffer
    No sermons left to hide or cover

    An empty promise, lie unfulfilled
    To steal a dream or get it killed
    They claim your trip to heaven's nearby
    You may believe it, but Satan wouldn't lie
