Scribes and Pharisees
Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites!
Matt. 23:13
You tell men that God has changed,
that the Holy Ancient One today is not the same
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Your written and spoken words are the forger of chains
With your unrighteous pens,
you’ve swapped out the word of God,
and inserted the traditions of men
Saying that the children should be honored,
and not the parents
Woe woe woe to you hypocrites!
Blind guides leading the blind,
and you’re both gonna fall into a ditch
Open up the bottomless pit,
and watch ‘em all fall in
Lovers of unrighteousness,
practitioners of sin
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
You bear rule over the people,
teaching them things that are not good
in the sight of God
Teaching them to respect wickedness,
to give praise to the voices that speak not right
Telling them to walk naked in the dark,
to put out the candles that give forth light
Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Your written and spoken words are the killer of men
Dip your pens in the blood ink ...
do testify against yourselves —
Condemned souls whose names are blotted out
of the Book of Life
Dip your pens once again in the blood ink ...
do testify against yourselves —
When your souls get destroyed in an eye blink
