Sons of Perdition - Lenders in the Temple (Demo)

Kishore Kumar Hits — Sons of Perdition - Lenders in the Temple (Demo) lyrics

Artist: Sons of Perdition

album: The Dissolution Orphans

The church in the desert
Like a purse stuffed with gold
Is surrounded by the hungry
The infirm and old
And though they make show
Of sweeping scraps from their tables
They stick it to the poor
Every chance that they're able
There's lenders in the temple
Jackals in the house of God
So me and this fellow
Broke in with fake guns
We made out with the coffers
As the clegry sat stunned
I said, "This mansion was built
On the backs of the poor
So just pray for our souls
As you lie on the floor"
There's lenders in the temple
Jackals in the house of God
The priest pulled a pistol
As we ran out the door
I felt a bullet rip through me
And I fell to the floor
My friend stopped to help
And was shot several times
The money fell in the pool
Of blood, brains, and grime
There's lenders in the temple
Jackals in the house of God
The priest took to his knees
Like a man meant to pray
Hes vestments soaking up gore
His greedy eyes glazed
Saw he wasn't giving last rights
For my friend growing cold
The cops swarmed around me
As he clawed for his gold
Flip their tables
Burn their notes
Let's string 'em up
And slit their throats
There's lenders in the temple
There's lenders in the temple
There's lenders in the temple
