lyrics

I am the flames of hell, licking at your feet
I am the guilt you know will never leave
My name is big brother, posing as Father,
If I am god, submit to the slaughter

I’m venom in your skin, burning from within
I hold the keys, but I won’t let you in
If Jesus is shepherd, I’m closing the gate
If God is love, I am self-righteous hate

We are not the same
You are the scapegoat I needed to condemn
We are not the same
You are the off'ring to take away my sin
My scapegoat

Protector of the church, if Jesus returns
For our safety, He must be stoned or burned
If you wanted the truth, I will disappoint
True honesty, depends on vantage point

I am the violent priest, ordained from above
I’ll slit your throat; I’ll drain out all your blood
The smell of your burning will appease my god
Enabling me, to justify my flaws

I’m venom in your skin, burning from within
I hold the keys, but I won’t let you in
If Jesus is shepherd, I’m closing the gate
If God is love, I am self-righteous hate

We are not the same
You are the scapegoat I needed to condemn
We are not the same
You are the off'ring to take away my sin

Repetition of centuries
Deliver us from enemies
Regurgitated memories
Complete the rite, God must be pleased

We are not the same
My scapegoat
