Of Evil Sin and Shame
Carousels and merry-go-rounds of beyond days
Captured and punished us because of selfish ways
Made projects of and dissected our lives
Raping women and beating children and wives
One-thousand knives cut deep into the heart
Always around and running our lives from the start
Murderous monsters are on the prowl --- loose day by day
Murdered and violated in every single possible way
Mobsters and gangsters take control of our streets
So many people gathered around mortuaries --- they weep
Why has all this evil flowed through our graced lands?
Why are there glass and razorblades littering our sands?
Babies without family and infants without a name
Who is all but ourselves for all this sin and shame?
The Devil and his minions infect the world we live
He has our souls and lives --- what else can we give?
How do you counter an attack from the other side?
How can we tell what's the truth and what's been lied?
I guess that deep within your heart of hearts the answer is
Finding the right religion is the answer and the quiz
