Motherfucker 05:11
In the name of the father in the name of god almighty you hang on your bloody cross and lay them out before you so your hardened eyes resigned table laden, blood and wine flows from the veins of humankind as you gorge on war war war war war Up to the top of the mountain bear your heavy burden rape and dominate the land and poison every ocean god's a fucking palindrome on your knees you slave to serve him lost your only way to get home suffer all your little children and on and on and on Hail to the hierophant hail to the chief give it all up to the man his bondage is relief mothers hide your children well save them up inside a shell throw their stunted bodies through the gaping hole of hell by all the power of all I believe don't let that motherfucker come down on me protect my children from the chains that bound me wind it wound nine times around and so make it be make it be make it be Your holy book of revelation your holy cock is masturbating it doesn't take a prophet, baby to tell me that you're damned so the scarlet harlot turns in her celestial prison and every taunt and stab she spurns just like she was a virgin Mother fucker of the mother of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother motherfucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother fucker of the mother Motherfucker

Oh she had a diamond as big as your eye and she wore it on her middle finger talk of war around the world could almost make her cry when she was looking for a cause to sign her name to oh baby baby don't you know you make me crazy trying to forget you're middle class there ain't a mark on your record baby not a stain on your soul there ain't a on your lily white ass She's sitting with her trendy friends in comfortable cafes and they're makin such a pretty scene, oh they're planning their vacations down to hot and troubled places while they're sucking back the cappuccino oh baby baby don't you know you make me crazy trying to forget you're middle class their ain't a mark on your record not a stain on your soul there ain't a on your lily white ass she renounced the vatican when she was twenty on but she got them latent catholic blues acting all aversion when she's looking to get fucked she makes me wanna ohhhhhhhhhhh oh baby baby don't you know you make me crazy trying to forget you're middle class their ain't a mark on your record not a stain on your soul there ain't a on your lily white ass

hh she reigns tonight in silence keeping her secrets, falling to pieces oh it rains upon the Lake of Aching water breaking filling up her bowl inside me there's a desert my heart's become a stone how hard i cling to my hurt all my gardens overgrown my brain is bent on vengeance my blade so true and sharp my hand is raised and ready to pierce your human heart i have spent the centuries re-membering, re-membering i have spent the centuries re-membering my own my own my own history this fortress i have built it is my home me, by myself alone i'm waiting til i'm wan i'm so alone this is not wisdom my logic is de-struction de-struction is your step by step by step instruction it's doesn't matter baby if you're a non-believer the axe has fallen see these eyes have cried a thousand bitter tears these arms have held every dying child i gave you the best two thousand years of my life i looked into your bloodless eyes and I named you Liar fuck the excuses and fuck the guilt bury the sword right up to the hilt cuz the truth is a bitch and I am she you call me by my rightful name cuz i can't be contained i can't be contained paint the blood upon my face i gave birth to the entire human race the time is now the time is here i'm raging screaming rage out into the biosphere oh, you were all born in blood you were all born of She Her pain, Her love, Her desire only the truth will set you free I give to you The Bitch Goddess of Truth
