lyrics

Hallelujah their day will come

The mighty and the proud
The pious and the well fed
The righteous on the right
Who look down at those less fortunate
At those with less to give
And less to say
And less to eat
And less to breathe
For they are suffocating beneath their sin
For why else would they seem so meek
So dirty
So foul
So wrong
So poor

Hallelujah their day will come

When the sinners of the earth will repent
And be cast to the flames
The fires they already feel at their backs
With our stares of disgust
Of hatred
Of shame
Of fear
The grotesque nature of the sick
Who’s disease shows through their tattered rags
Through their pasty skin and frail bones
Through their bleak stares
Pleading for the light they have yet to earn

Hallelujah their day will come

When those who have gorged themselves
On the light from above
When they have eaten of the body
And drank from the veins of the Lord
Until they could eat and drink no more
When there was none for the wicked
So that they may starve of the light
And feast on the emptiness sin
When the pure can ascend beyond
To a realm of predetermination
Of obedience
Of servitude
Where mystery does not exist
And thought is not free
But complacency is all

Hallelujah their day will come

And the saved ones will gaze below
At the world they left behind
At the pestilent and the war
And the famine and the death
And wonder how they survived without sin
Without bloodying their hands in such a dark world
Remaining ever blind to the stains of red footprints
That ascended the steps behind them
Leaving a bountiful trail of misery in their wake

Hallelujah their day will come
