"Enshrined" lyrics

For heresy lives were devastated
The name of God their penalty
Crusades geared for destruction
Millions paid for a perverted creed

White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind

Thank God man's poor reflection of himself
In His image created perplexed
The church imitated cannibalism

White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind

Man's attempt to reach God
Futile ploy restricts the rod
God's attempt to reach man
Death to life connecting strand

White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind

In ignorance lives were extricated
Retribution for their belief
Leaders schemed to dominate
Barbaric hunger for misery

White-washed relics enshrined
Stole the eyes from the blind
