This is the story of a religious zealot who is distraught at the sinful ways of humanity, and asks god what can be done.
lyrics
As I lay my head to rest, I turn to God
Surrender my will to Him
God be my light
I flagellate my skin daily
Wear hairshirts tight
To construct your kingdom on Earth
My sole purpose
Diseased earth
Heathen wasteland
In the valley of death
Where's your guiding hand?
Your servant kneels down and asks thee
If you hear me, then speak!
Listen to me child
I shall only say this once
I am racked with regret
Blot out my greatest failure
KILL ALL OF MANKIND
I thank thee father for this blessed vision
Humbled by your infinite wisdom
I obey!
You shall gather my righteous
And you'll surround the crowd
Each with his weapon in hand
And fire!
My blessed brothers and sisters
We've gathered for the end of days
God commands Babylon's destruction
For their vile ways
The people, the lamb, your bullets, the slaughter
Leave none alive for sacrificial fodder
The people, the lamb, your bullets, the slaughter
Leave none alive, leave none alive!
Kill for your god
Die for your god
KILL (x7)
Deafening darkness devours me
Where is thy light?
Where is thy kingdom?
Where is my god?
My poor lost child
How are you so blind?
I've always been within
The voice inside your mind
YOUR MIND
(MY MIND)
