The Church Bizarre Lyrics by Sabbat (UK)

History of a Time to Come

1988

Hallelujah brothers - Hallelujah
Praise the Lord - Praise the Lord
Fear his name
Fear his word
The stage is set my friends for the play
That never ends -
This comedy we call the Church Bizarre
Once you enter you are bound to find
Salvation by the pound
Assured the more you pay the nearer God you are
Your mouth so paralysed with fear you dare not speak
Your eyes so blind and hypnotised you cannot weep
So blinkered to reality that you no longer care
That profit is the prophet of corruption and despair
Bring on the dancers -
Bring on the clowns
Who invite you to ride on their merry-go-rounds
They make the money and they make the rules
You 'Born-Again-Christians' are born again fools
[THE EVANGELIST PRAYER:]
God of wealth and God of might
Guide me to your paradise
For many lives are bought and sold
That I may walk your streets of gold
Though my heart is cold and still
I rest in peace my pockets filled
And bear the smile of one who knows
Through God's Love my cup overflows
A 'salvation salesman's dream -
Gullible to the extreme
Easy pickings for the charm and 'savoir faire'
Of these charlatans and thieves
Whose delight is to deceive
All the fools who still believe they really care
And if all the Devil's minions were let loose to do their will
I think they'd be hard pressed to match in diabolic skill
The wickedness and treachery of this evangelic horde
Who shelter their corruption with the banner of their Lord
Bring on the dancers -
Bring on the clowns
Who invite you to ride on their merry-go-rounds
They make the money and they make the rules
You 'Born-Again-Christians' are born again fools
[THE EVANGELIST PRAYER:]
God of wealth and God of might
Guide me to your paradise
For many lives are bought and sold
That I may walk your streets of gold
Though my heart is cold and still
I rest in peace my pockets filled
And bear the smile of one who knows
Through God's Love my cup overflows
[Guitar Solo]
The curtain never falls on the show that has it all
Taken in you can't begin to see their lies
For the people who are clapping are the ones who will be laughing
At your fate
They just can't wait to bleed you dry
