Aghast (UK) - Forced to Kneel lyrics

Lamb's sacrifice Mankind's ordeal Gagged and bound We're forced to kneel Between lines of Holy Scripture There lies a clearer picture The word of God in the hands of men Laws carved in stone make way for sin Don't waste your precious time Waiting for water to turn into wine The conspiracy is plain to see Fear of torture means a life of drudgery Holding the parishioners down Whilst their offerings gild his thorn-ed crown How can Jesus feel no shame? For the evil perpetrated in his name We must suffer For the Father How can the "one true faith" Cause wars that purge the human race? He said thou shalt not k** But our own blood his to spill Man shall not lie with man But how can love contravene God's plan? Is he the one to blame? When more than his name is taken in vain Between lines of Holy Scripture There lies a clearer picture The word of God in the hands of men Laws carved in stone make way for sin Thirty thousand years since we fell from grace Forsaken, forgotten, lost without a trace Countless years later our savior returned After being abandoned you'd have thought we'd have learned What possessed us to give up our right to be free? For abject repentance down on bended knees The need to find reason in life and in d**h Exploited by men to keep man oppressed
