Lyrics
Come down from your altar
And turn up the heat about a million degrees
Narcissistics falter
'Cause they're never free
They're held in shackles by me
You could hold my hand
But you still won't understand
CHORUS
Lay down the law that you built here
And give me a means to destroy every machine
Send me an elegant weaver
To sew up their dreams
And let me hide in the seams
I wanted to be of a mechanical breed
Your only hope is that God is on holiday
Decimated, he's gonna blow us away
Stacks of saints and saviors
Are burning their lies
They're all preparing to die
Solitude will conquer
'Cause Mary and I are standing here by your side
He's a lonely man
And they'll never understand
CHORUS
Hope and pray that we're truly the dominant race
You'd better hope and pray that the bombs never blow us away
You've got your church babble in the present tense
You've got your new preachers and their sticky hands
You've got your first born sons and your daughters and your lovers
And the people who admired all the christians that you slaughtered
It's the sickening taste
Homophobic jokes
It's the marriage and the babies and the facist folks
It's a phase
It's a fad
It's the fashion of the sober
But the new religion reigns when the machines take over
CHORUS
