Worship at the holy altar
Press your mouth upon the pearly gates
Do they taste how you imagined
When you Hail Mary'd for the fruit you ate
Now I wish you would beg forgiveness
On your knees the pews could be your witness
But I don't pay heed to hopefulness
On its own
Faith has earned me nothing
But a liar's tongue, a child's grief
Promise the sacrament, but
Understand you will not save me
You will not save me
But you'll consecrate thee
Oh the attempt you made, even made in bad faith
Heavens yours either way
Tell me do you work in sales
'Cause you pitch God like you can't afford your tab
Break belief to bits and pieces
Claim only that which will complete your task
And I know I've become cynical
But there are worse things the world could make me
More things in heaven and earth
Faith has earned me nothing
But a liar's tongue, a child's grief
Promise the sacrament
But understand you will not save me
You will not save me
But you'll consecrate thee
Oh the attempt you made even made in bad faith
Heavens yours either way
More things in heaven and earth
Oh there are more things in heaven and earth
More things in heaven and earth
Than you could dream in your philosophies
In heaven and earth
Faith has earned me nothing
But a liar's tongue, a child's grief
Promise the sacrament, but
Understand you will not save me
(Faith has earned me nothing but a)
You will not save me
(Faith has earned me nothing but a)
But you'll consecrate the
(Faith has earned me nothing but a)
Whoa (Faith has earned me nothing but a)
Oh the attempt you made even made in bad faith
Heavens yours either way
