We are but men
Faulty and frail
Servants of gospel
Proclaimers of true excellence!

We skewer the wicked!
Banish them with coldness
Then expunge a bold tale
Of beloved redemption

For creed
We slaughter the wretched
Bound them to their sinful deeds
And bathe them in agony

The doctrine of servitude
Is the adversary of tolerance
To boil the flesh of heretics
Outcasts
Twisted and foul deviants

Return to the narrow margin
Your place tucked in a row
Fall in line
Or seek refuge in hellfire!
