Immaculate conception
Unimaginable deception
Bloodied bible
Walls pitted
Plastered with black
Brush the bullets
From the pelleted pews
Panicked prayers
Dynamite dreams
Shattered screams
Sentenced to life
Punished to create
Hell on earth
The color of cages
The sound of metal
The taste of time
Drowning in drought
Dying in doubt
Dreadful days
Demoniac nights
I always do it wrong
It’s my theme song
Conform and play along
The usual suspects
The resemblance is uncanny
Crimes passed down from family
Psalms of a liar
Set the world on fire
It’s getting late
Time to change the channel
Drunk at midnight
Rabid dog bite
