<br>

[JESUS]<br>

Alas alas for you <br>

Lawyers and pharisees <br>

Hypocrits that you be <br>

Searching for souls and fools to forsake them <br>

You travel the land you scour the sea <br>

After you've got your converts you make them <br>

Twice as fit for hell! <br>

As you are yourselves! <br>

<br>

Alas, alas for you <br>

Lawyers and pharisees <br>

Hypocrits that you are <br>

Sure that the kingdom of Heaven awaits you <br>

You will not venture half so far <br>

Other men who might enter the gates you <br>

Keep from passing through! <br>

Drag them down with you! <br>

You snakes, you viper's brood <br>

You cannot escape being Devil's food! <br>

<br>

I send you prophets, I send you preachers <br>

Sages and rages and ages of teachers <br>

Nothing can bar your mood <br>

<br>

Alas, alas for you <br>

Lawyers and pharisees <br>

Hypocrits to a man <br>

Sons of the dogs who murdered the prophets <br>

Finishing off what your fathers began <br>

You don't have time to scorn and to scoff <br>

It's getting very late! <br>

Vengence doesn't wait! <br>

You snakes, you viper's brood <br>

You cannot escape being Devil's food! <br>

<br>

I send you prophets, I send you preachers <br>

Sages and rages and ages of teachers <br>

Nothing can bar your mood <br>

Blind guides, blind fools <br>

The blood you spilt <br>

On you will fall! <br>

<br>

This nation, this generation <br>

Will bear the guilt of it all! <br>

<br>

Alas, alas alas for you! Blind fools!!<br>

<br>
