Iconoclasm

[Verse 1]

Man creates the God and the God destroys the man

Betrayed by their own invention, the shepherd butchers the lamb

A lion at the head of an army of sheep when comes time to feed

Like Saturn devoured his children, they're consumed by belief

[Chorus]

I am the chosen one

And I hold the key

Behold the prodigal son

This good I do lives long after me

Let iconoclasm set you free

[Verse 2]

Christ is the same yesterday and today, forever a lie

They concocted the heavens to keep all the puppets in line

Narcotic, addictive desire to believe they won't go to Hell

A dog that has bitten it's master that it once knew so well

[Chorus]

I am the chosen one

And I hold the key

Behold the prodigal son

This good I do lives long after me

Let iconoclasm set you free

[Bridge]

Figment of imagination, oracle of ignorance

Corrupter of society, killer of reason and innocence

An object of man's creation made to fill the hole inside

But that abyss has only been opened wide

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Wolves they guard the flock and they slaughter the sick and the weak

Sorrow is all that they find when salvation is all that they seek

The truth is the greatest lord where no fool commands the wise

Religion ten times undone, no room for compromise

[Chorus]

I am the chosen one

And I hold the key

Behold the prodigal son

This good I do lives long after me

Let iconoclasm set you free
