Iconoclasm Lyrics - Exodus

Man creates the god 

And the god destroys the man 

Betrayed by their own invention 

The shepherd butches the lamb 

A lion at the head of an army 

Of sheep when comes time to feed 

Like Saturn devoured his children 

They're consumed by belief 

[Chorus] 

I am the chosen one 

And I hold the key 

Behold the prodigal son 

This good I do lives long after me 

Let iconoclasm set you free 

Christ is the same yesterday 

And today, forever a lie 

They concocted the heavens 

To keep all the puppets in line 

Narcotic, addictive desire 

To believe they won't go to hell 

A dog that has bitten its master 

That it once knew so well 

[Chorus] 

Figment of imagination 

Oracle of ignorance 

Corrupter of society 

Killer of reason and innocence 

An object of man's creation 

Made to fill the hole inside 

But that abyss has only been opened wide 

Wolves they guard the flock 

And they slaughter the sick and the weak 

Sorrow is all that they find 

When salvation is all that they seek 

The truth is the greatest lord 

Where no fool commands the wise 

Religion ten times undone 

No room for compromise 

[Chorus]
