One, two, one, two three, four
Spineless from the start, sucked into the part
Circus comes to town, you play the lead clown
Please, please
Spreading his disease, living by his story
Knees, knees
Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory
You will

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get a better seat
Bow to leper messiah

Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix
Blind devotion came, rotting your brain
Chain, chain
Join the endless chain, taken by his glamour
Fame, fame
Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power
We see

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get the better seat
Bow to leper messiah

Witchery, weakening
Sees the sheep are gathering
Set the trap, hypnotize
Now you follow

Time for lust, time for lie
Time to kiss your life goodbye
Send me money, send me green
Heaven you will meet
Make a contribution
And you'll get the better seat

Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

    Have any of you ever heard of indulgence...? The date is around 1000-1200 a.C., Southern Europe and the Italian peninsula, the Curch is an emerging power and is the awaited solution the the power gap created by the dark age invasions in the centralized monarchies of the old world. What happens is that the Ecclesia or church shifts from moral guide to a political power, and this implies the creation of a pontificial fiscus... Taking advantage of the fact that Faith is an essential component of the medieval mentality and behaviour, the church spread the concept of indulgence, or the ability of "bailing" someone out of purgatory, directly to heaven, thanks to a sum of money donated to the pope... here begins the process known as the fusion of pure religion end fate with the teachings of a church lead to growing corruption... I'm sorry i went through all the history, but in order to understand the meaning of leper messiah, some things must be specified. the song is beautiful and the subject treated is serious and brings us to examine our own personal conscience.
