Bruciare il Libro (Burn the Book)

Talk about the one who never said a thing you preach
Just another excuse to overgrow your reach
One more hour of "prayer will come through"
The faith of inaction, but he did it all for you

How many more for the tree
Until salvation has been leeched?
How many more can it hold?
Just doing what they're told

Spinning on the wheel, just waiting for the knife to be thrown
Parlor tricks for dinner and a show, a tradition I've outgrown
Smile and spit out a lie, chipping teeth with a grin
Chant an "amen" and pray for another sin

How many more for the tree
Until salvation has been leeched?
How many more can it hold?
Just doing what they're told

They're just doing what they're told
Merely buying what you've sold
Be wary of the truth you hold
But you're just doing what you're told

God bless us, everyone
Have mercy on us all
They've all forgotten the one
Who did it all
