Melting The Golden Calf Lyrics - Tourniquet

Bring us your trinkets, your baubles of gold 

Join the debauchery, the young and the old 

Let us bow down to his great golden calf 

Darken our spirits, as we dance and we laugh 

The golden calf takes shape - the idol of black hearts 

The whole deed, from the sum of its parts 

From the healer of sorrow came a great molten blast 

With holy tongue of fire, the commandments were cast 

Down from the mountain with two tablets of stone 

In countenanc white, Moses walked down alone 

Instructed by God to bring the people His word 

Intoxicated by evil, their judgment obscured 

Why should we listen to his set of his rules ? 

Deeper in sin sinks the assembly of fools 

Though shalt not make graven images 

Visiting evil in the land of the dust 

Though shalt not have other gods before Me 

Then only then can you truly be free
