False Prophet
You stand upon your podium
A face upon the TV screen
Preaching to the masses
Telling them only you can set them free
Preying on their faith
As they blindly believe
Lay your lying hands on them
Asking them to receive
You act as though
You were sent directly from His descent
As you easily distort
All the messages that He sent
But I do not believe
The Lord wanted you to get rich
Off the words that He preached
As you practice a new pitch
Living in your house of gold
While they come to you from the street
Do you even really care
About the people that you meet
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
As you hide behind your lies
A false prophet as you speak
Another piece of faith has died
May you repent for what you’ve done
And beg forgiveness for you sins
For when you arrive at the gates of Heaven
St. Peter will not let you in
The End
