Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Behold a new Christ, behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering, new beginning, new word
And the word was death, and the word was without light
The new beatitude, good luck, you're on your own
[Verse 2]
Blessed are the fornicates, may we bend down to be their whore
Blessed are the rich, may we labor deliver them more
Blessed are the envious, bless the slothful, the wrathful, the vain
Blessed are the gluttonous, may they feast us to famine and war
[Verse 3]
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed
[Verse 4]
Behold a new Christ, behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering, new beginning, new word
And the word was death, and the word was without light
The new beatitude, good luck
[Verse 5]
What of the pious, the pure of heart, the peaceful?
What of the meek, the mourning, and the merciful?
What of the righteous? What of the charitable?
What of the truthful, the dutiful, the decent?
[Verse 6]
Doomed are the poor, doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek, doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death, and the word is now without light
The new beatitude, fuck the doomed, you're on your own
