Crushed By The Cross

(album: The Blood Of Gods - 2017)

Entangled within your life, you fight, cannot escape its grasp
Commands you to repent or burn eternal for your past
Surrender them your body as they wish to rule what grows inside
Hiding the simple truth there's nothing for you when you die

Your rights denied by the cross
You fail to see the lies it's your loss
You will be crushed by the cross
Your life is crushed by the cross

Your flesh and blood pissed away and used as a bargaining chip
A poorly played hand in a game of political brinkmanship
The articles of their faith are (fucking) rife with hypocrisy
Your body striped with scars inflicted by theocracy

Your rights denied by the cross
You fail to see the lies it's your loss
You will be crushed by the cross
Your life is crushed by the cross

Our souls matter not
Though crucial to the plot
They coerce us to comply
Trade our lives for their lie

...And so we'll be bred
Pumping out life until we are dead
We reach out for support
You cut us off at the fucking cord

You will be branded

Crushed by the cross
Crushed by the cross
Crushed by the cross
Crushed by the cross

Your rights denied by the cross
You fail to see the lies it's your loss
You will be crushed by the cross
Your life is crushed by the cross
