Pick a God and Prey Lyrics
By the fist they rule with Iron legion
With a smile, they take it away
Conform a soul embraced by fire
Paralyzed by bliss and decay
Hammer to heart
Deaths open eyes
Conviction envy endless broken lies
Voices awake
Witnessed by time
Longing for paradise
Playing on
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
By our blood salvation justifier
In their blood purify the way
Control all lost those misguided
Behold your savior
Trust
Obey
Your sewn mouth shut
Blackened burnt out eyes
Spoke opposition
Opinions defy
Oppress by a smile
Destroy, tear apart
Innocence sacrificed
Playing on
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
Her majesty of death awaits you
Anarchy divine
Sacrifice your world possessions
Give it with a smile
Surrender flesh
Let go the soul
A promise to be saved
Tribulation at midnight
Pick your God and prey
We prey
We prey
Your sewn mouth shut
Blackened burnt out eyes
Spoke opposition
Opinions defy
Oppress by a smile
Destroy, tear apart
Innocence sacrificed
Playing on
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
Trust
Obey
Trust
Obey
Pick a God and prey
With a smile, they take it away
Conform a soul embraced by fire
Paralyzed by bliss and decay
Deaths open eyes
Conviction envy endless broken lies
Voices awake
Witnessed by time
Longing for paradise
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
In their blood purify the way
Control all lost those misguided
Behold your savior
Trust
Obey
Blackened burnt out eyes
Spoke opposition
Opinions defy
Oppress by a smile
Destroy, tear apart
Innocence sacrificed
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
Anarchy divine
Sacrifice your world possessions
Give it with a smile
Surrender flesh
Let go the soul
A promise to be saved
Tribulation at midnight
Pick your God and prey
We prey
We prey
Blackened burnt out eyes
Spoke opposition
Opinions defy
Oppress by a smile
Destroy, tear apart
Innocence sacrificed
Our dreams of desire
Pick a God and prey
Speak words
On tongues in which a liar
Pick a God and prey
Obey
Trust
Obey
Pick a God and prey
