Slayer - 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
