False Idols Lyrics

The charlatans on the prowl

Looking for souls to save

Sell you a slice of heaven

You can't afford your own grave

They're building monuments

In testament to your pain

Converting faith into cash

God damn they'll make it rain

Salvation don't come cheap

When everything is a sin

You can buy that forgiveness

Again and again

So when the reaper comes

Collecting his due

Tell him you're paid in full

You want a room with a view

There's no sign of your savior now

Just dollar signs and a cross

The false idols to which you bow

Become your albatross

While they wallow in filth

The hypocrites preach the way

They lay down with the whores

Tell you to kneel down and pray

It's all so sick and perverse

The morals shoved in your face

They feign their purity

While they keep falling from grace

They keep falling from grace

There's no sign of your savior now

Just dollar signs and a cross

The false idols to which you bow

Become your albatross

Yea though I walk through the valley

Of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For thou art with me

Thy rod and thy staff

They comfort me

And so does your cash

There's no sign of your savior now

Just dollar signs and a cross

The false idols to which you bow

Become your albatross

There's no sign of your savior now

Just dollar signs and a cross

The false idols to which you bow

Become your albatross

False idols on the cross

False idols for the lost

False idols now uncrossed
