lyrics

milling fibreboard bibles to chisel a new truth
an evangelists litany in mind
(oh the dust when the man came 'round/we'll have answers to rehearse should the fervor settle down)
sane and sinner as scapegoat to trample under hoof
sailors trysts & polygamy in mind
it's the same sawtooth sermon of coveted wealth, coveted goods
covet the parishioners wives
and they're poisoning the sheets, swiping paychecks from the till
they've been powdering the bed sores and sizing up the wills
it's testament is weak
so constrict it at the roots
leverage the weight of a throng to kick it up and breathe it in
it's stature is meek
fit to shatter at the tooth
he shall braid a guilded noose to string it up and live again
iron pyrite and amethyst hidden in the tooth
an evangelists tyranny in mind
courting desperate youth fit for service in the field
the recidivists progeny in mind
it's the same jackboot sermon of coveted land, coveted wells
covet the solicitors wiles
and they're burning all the books, pulling medals off the shelf
it's been weeks since you could recognize a picture of yourself
