The Whore And The Bride lyrics

I weep for you I mourn for you I weep for you I mourn for you With scorn I pour, your feasts I hate Away the dirge, silence your songs A filthy nest, a viper breed A blazing fire; the hills burn Vindication of the poor The wrath of God, blood and fire Dreams of gold, dreams of wealth Raping the poor in obscenity When justice fails, judgement comes Giving birth to captivity Exchange your greed for a cross Follow the Christ, count the cost Lay it all down at his feet Surrender your pride, mourn and weep Freedom is yours, beauty is yours in holy poverty The ash burns upon your face Judgment comes to your house Unfaithful bride, filthy whore A blazing fire, the hills burn Vindication of the poor The wrath of God, blood and fire Dreams of gold, dreams of wealth Raping the poor in obscenity When justice fails, judgement comes Giving birth to captivity Exchange your greed for a cross Follow the Christ, count the cost Lay it all down at his feet Surrender your pride, mourn and weep Freedom is yours, beauty is yours in holy poverty Away with greed Unfaithful bride Away with greed Unfaithful bride
