Cryptopsy - The Righteous Lost Lyrics

Open arms are eager to deceive you
I prey on the prayers of the meager
I strive to sow the weak I yearn for their sorrow
These easy targets I seek I plan to hollow
It's your painful stories that I adore
I absorbe them all, and I still dig for more
Please place another dollar in the till
As I dig deeper through your pointless swill
Rotten soul
Rotten soul
Reaching for your tears for they fuel me through and through
Succulent tears
I suck at the teat of your beliefs
And scrape the bowels until you bleed
I am adored by all yet scorned by more
This false prophet still yearns for more
The pathetic blinded faithful
Are pathetic simple people
These pathetic hopeful sinners
Are just sheep
I am a liar I am a thief
I am a liar the unholy profiteer
I am a liar I am a thief
I am a liar the unholy profiteer
Revere me for my penitent rule
I'm nothing but an actor at heart
A man that knows how to light a spark
A guiding light leading you deeper down
I am a liar I am a thief
I am a liar the unholy profiteer
Through my words I will control you
Once I have decided to bleed you dry
Till the day I can no longer use you
Then I will simply cast you aside
