Amebix - Fear Of God lyrics

You say that you hear voices, I premsume that is correct?

And you say that all the bad boys end their wicked days in hell?

Well if it wasn't for the collar that you wear around your neck

You'd be seeing life quite differently, inside a padded cell!

The fear of God

Am I to understand you, when you say I'll be forgiven?

I give you all my money, well that's blackmail don't you see?

And the ones who give the most are guarenteed a place in heaven

Where they can watch the burning souls below and rub their hands with glee!

The fear of God

Your priorities Are wrong

Your faith Is blind

Crush the weak Uphold the strong

Burn the brains Of mankind

The money spent on churches could appease the starving poor

To justify injustice you must misinterpret Christ!

You lock your wealth away at night behind a bolted door.

The fear of god? You hypocrite! Open up your eyes!
