Shepherds and Sheep

Loss of faith as time goes by

Heard the call of God on high

Now the truth is chrystal clear

Lies as passed from year to year

Promises of streets of gold

Mansions there are bought and sold

Prophets prey on your desire

Trust their word or pits of fire

Purchase your future casket

Drop your coins in the basket

Selling myths to earn their keep

Holy shepherds fleece their sheep
