Heathen Punch / We Know

lyrics

We leave you bread and water and we leave you with a key
We rapture in our starship off with holy destiny
You have no power and no choice our ghosts will be your master
We know that god will clean our hands of our consumed disaster
For god taught man to fear him by his wrath and punish vices
We know that he demands the blood of human sacrifices

I watch men starving every day
Your only answer's that you'll pray
Storms will brew in vengeful caves
God's blood appeased the sins of slaves
I wonder why the Christian burns the witch
While his is supernatural, and black as pitch
The heathen ignorant, the error his,
I wonder which the heathen really is...

Ours not to build a better world, but wait for one fortold us
So we shall bind all men in Hell, and prison cells to hold us
The Jailer young and scared confused shall do as he's directed
We shall ring forth the wrath of god, and scourge all those infected
For god taught man to weep in shame, at even merest vices
Accursed art thou, doth God say, if left to your devices

For god will punish, this you claim
And blindly how you all obey
With incantations and eucharist
You mock the lands that our gods kissed
This thing called heathen I wear it high
A mantle to be girded with a hearty cry
The heathen ignorant, the error his
I wonder which the heathen really is
