What is sin doing among you?

If you belief what is sin doing among you?
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?

how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?

with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow follows.
You speak of salvation, of a paradise to gain,
But what of the present marred by pain?
What sort of belief is measured by gain?
What sort of belief lets compassion wane?
When sin lives among you, a blemish, a stain?

The divine may be merciful,
the divine may be just,
But what of your actions?
In whom do you trust?
When belief is a weapon
faith is a must.

Your wisdom is blind,
Your cleverness hard and unkind.
If you say you belief
What is sin doing among you?
