You are a servant to your god   You are a slave to a book   You say you are just a messenger   But you'll end up hooked   This place feels like home   Walls echo, screaming no   This tough love feels   Like I'm being choked   Dependant on a whim   Bow down before him   You suckle righteousness   And siphon lies   This rope feels like home   My mouth is gagged   My hands are bound   This tough love feels like   I'm being drowned   And in a daze one day   You'll wake up old and gray   And realize you've alienated   Those who cared about you   Say you will forgive me me again   Your pride is the birth of your original sin   Say I can be saved again   Well I won't and I think you know   Because of you   This is not all for him   It's for you   The blessed father   Tainted blood of a martyr
