Crooked Cross

You pried your way deep into their pain and into their pockets With wickedness and words you popped the lock and opened up Pandoras box Fueled by the gasoline of greed now you know you just can't slow down or stop Come down off your crooked cross They say that truth is a thorn in the side of the sinister Never meaning what you say Making messes of the message...a million starts but never a finisher You only count the cash and never the cost You liar to the lost You leach attached to love You raven in the roost dressed just like a dove In that system of subtraction you bring liability and loss Come down off your crooked cross Getting higher on the praise you're a counterfeit clown Shooting bible verses just like bullets bringing blood You sing the same sad song...GIVE UNTIL IT HURTS Ruthless and relentless till gravity it grips you and pulls you to the ground Because what goes up comes crashing down Smiling sick like the sun soon you'll be wearing a frown Someday you'll have to answer to that big bad boss Come down off your crooked cross Maniacal mist of the miracle man...slick shark turned to sushi that's the masters plan Lion wearing a lambsmask Looking for a kill you watch innocence get iced Now your disguises of desire they all get stripped Sin is staring at you...straight from the abyss Time to repent before you take that fatal trip Before your sorry soul gets spent Just like a rotten apple that fell too hard from grace now you turn to sauce Come down off your crooked cross
