Songtext von The Gothic Statue

Ancient and lifeless, like god's perfect idols The statues looked down and unspeaking saw The hypocrisy uttered within these four walls Is this the palace of a just god at all? For many were the wars we saw, many fought and died God's kingdom prospered upon those corpses piled high Giving sanctimony to slaughter, the churches killed for christ We saw that their religion was the hand that held the knife Now the altar is silent and claimed by the dust This building crumbles from disuse and mistrust The annals of infamy attest to the last great truth Religion is a whore (and we the fools)!
