Fear Our Coming

Churches bow to the pulpit, time to confess your sins
Crocodile tears over evil acts that you know you'll perform again
So tell yourselves that all is forgiven, and that inside you're okay
But behind the heart of you hypocrites, demons shriek all day

Paint your white picket fences, those values you hold so dear
One day you'll realize that all that you love will someday disappear
There is no reward, no great meeting, no happily ever after
But an endless void that will eat up those scared pastures

So run and hide, those of you who believe
All the lives you ruined because of things you can't even perceive
The demons that lurk in darkness as you say
Are yourselves in mirrors, so get down and pray

We are the future and your foundations are dying
The end of oppression over us with all of your lying
Stronger we grow, so fear us, we are coming soon
Those who hold so closely imaginary religion that will shortly be in ruin

And not everyone in these places are so bad
But the loudest majority, which is what is so sad
