Modern​-​Day Golden Calf

from Legacy of the Anointed by Spiral Grave

/

lyrics

Worship without question this modern-day golden calf
Kiss its hands while laughter mocks your pain
From down on your knees look into its bloodshot eyes
What pours down on you is not rain
Lick up its piss as it steps all over you
So thankful for the hoof prints you feel
Cry out its name as it fades into the distance
Compare your scars with the scars of all the cultists who kneel

Worship – don’t deny pariah messiah
No scars on its hands or its feet or its head do you see
Pledge it your life since it says just what you want to hear
Offer your children to satisfy all its needs
Clean up its blood and its bile as it screams for conformity
Rub on your forehead – anointing in hate
Cry out its name as the stench still hangs in the air
The voices of sheep join in and join you in your fate

Worship without question this modern-day golden calf
Forsake anyone – anything who dares to question that love
Damn them into the fire that waits at the end of days
Fires that rain from below, from beside, from above
Look at the desolation left by the chosen
And clap for the withered whore who clings to its side
Cry out its name as the crows pick at the bones
And cry for this modern-day world you’ve elected to die
