Believer - Vile Hypocrisy lyrics

[K. Bachman, J. Daub, D. Baddorf, H. Kraft]

Obeying worthless idols

The prophets prophesied

Manifesting omens

Delusions of their minds

Claiming total wisdom

Knowledge from above

Ordained not from the Father

Ignorance of love

Woe to you o'teachers

Instructors of the law

You who play religion

Impelling men to fall

Legalistic actions

Neglecting man's distress

Outer shells of virtue

Inner wickedness

You blind the eyes that seek to see

Deceiving humanity

Denying God by deeds

Yet claiming intimacy

Drawing lambs to slaughter

Victims of deceit

Unaware they follow

Minds becoming weak

Vile hypocrisy

Method of defense

For rejection of Christ

Eternal consequence

Heed the written warnings

Of deceptive lies

Neglect deceitful guidance

Apostasy defy

There is nothing concealed

That won't be made known

Sifting inner motives

Judgement for what's shown

[Matthew 7:15, 13:22, 23:25; Mark 13:22; Titus 1:16; Jeremiah 2:6, 5:31, 14:14]
