Read Between The Lies (Album Version)

Read Between The Lies – Slayer

Evangelist you claim God speaks through you

Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity

You care not for the old that suffer

When empty pockets cry from hunger

Penniless from their generosity

Sharing their money to quench your greed

Searchin' for the answer to their prayers

They cry their last wish of need

Save me

His spirit lives and breathes in me

The almighty transformed to your screen

The meanings lost in it's translation

No holy words describe his deception

You say "You'll help us find the Lord"

Tell me preacher how do you know

A simple quest for a visible savior

To lead us through our final prayer

Save me

Send your donations contribute to the cause

Luxuries your righteous reward

Praise the Lord praise God

Is what you wish to sell

There is no Heaven without a hell

In your mind's eye could you truly believe

That by giving you can save your soul

Could you be so naive

You heal the sick you raise the dead

You blind the congregation with the things you say

Religious blackmail a deceit of trust

That death will come and all will be lost

Can you hear the serpents call

Look deep in those deceiving eyes

Ignore the writing on the wall

You should read between the lies

When doubt subsides his honesty

An inquiry is it blasphemy

Impure the soul that's made to suffer

No sermons left to hide or cover

An empty promise lie unfulfilled

To steal a dream or get it killed

They claim your trip to Heaven's nearby

You may believe it but Satan wouldn't lie
