Build up your walls
To keep to yourselves
Build them up high
So stuck in your self-made doctrines
Not even striving to reach out
Beyond those wooden doors
You've condemned your fellow man
Left him to starve outside
While you keep inside your walls
Where is the devotion to compassion
Learn to reach, or you're a dying breed
Self-indulgent minds make for weak hearts
Sympathetic thoughts
No empathetic action
Twist your ideals of the deity
Until the face is unrecognized
Die to self
Walking with the plank in your eye,
So quick to judge
What you cannot see
Hypocrite, your vision is twisted
Your vision is twisted
You've been blind for so long
Judgment has come
Eye for an eye
Spit in the face
Of the one who taught you love
Your spirit is weak
Your spirit is dead
