I had to cut them off
They had me bought and sold
They plot against my love with my fears in their hands
I climbed into bed with no will to refuse them
If for just one night
In my haste I had to cut them off my flesh
I bought our lives in bulk
Refused sacrifice
I would not concede with this damn curse that hinds my blood
I am lost when when my blood guides my hand and chooses to ignore
When my personal passover is a failure to discern an obvious liar
They write in anger that what they own is theirs,
And they replace charity with a hollow gesture
They recruit angry fools to replace the old law
That was handed down to them and fulfilled with their own sick and twisted games
They can be kept with little effort as no one checks but once a week
And only but a few will make them turn their heads
They tithe as a purchase of right
As a pack of liars they set themselves as the standard,
And put you in your place where you always belonged,
But were too foolish to understand
Sub to their culture of pretenders in their white sheets
That will sway easy to their will
I had to cut them off of my flesh,
I had to separate the head from the body the way that I would any other serpent
Grown men told me they loved me then disappeared
Grown men demanded apologies of me
None were given
But I've bit my tongue and checked my heart
I cut off my flesh and I conceded my fear to flee
I was left behind while our business took it's seat in it's rightful place
In the hearts of business men
I am lost
I was questioned and refused
I was given something you could say was a gift
But I do not
Free is cheap and what's cheap is tossed
It's what we are taught
And in that we have always trusted firm
I have faith that this promise will not be overturned
