Shepherd of This Flock
The Devil's here, yes I've seen his face
This reckoning is for the
Sinners, stick with me, it's safe
For each of us holds a
Key to open Eden's Gates
Just like the father told you
All you need to keep is faith
The nonbelievers sowed their seeds and
All they'll reap is flames
Judgment's coming
And my god will set me free from chains
Make your confessions, pay your penance
In my sweet embrace
I'll shake my people from their sleep
So they can see his grace
So you're conscious, but are you woke?
If not, your conscience gotta be broke
Brainwashed with nonsense, all of these folks
Because the Father's got'em controlled
I read your doctrine, thought it was dope
Honestly, because I thought it's a joke
I'll pass up baptism, do not wanna choke
I'm sorry - but how long am I gonna soak?
We're on the run - the prophet has spoken
Bearing their arms - we've
Gone and provoked 'em
Scarin' em off, we're rockin' the boat
Like a bear with the claws - and Father
You poked it
I'm leavin' carnage all of over Hope as
I'm wreckin' your garden, call me the locust
Ready for judgment? That's what my bow is for
When you enter hell, I'll hold the door
Never messed with a cult before
When it comes to church, I'm not gonna go
I don't wanna trigger your followers
Can we possibly talk about gun control?
Nevermind, give me a rifle
It's time to get blood on your bibles
The world ain't ending, take a breath
But I'll make that breath your final
Who found you while you were lost?
When blind, who helped you see?
'Cause I'm the shepherd of this flock
I guide my righteous sheep
Of your sins, I'll see you washed
Then I'll set your soul free
The word of God is one you trust
So thank God he speaks through me
The Father and God have been talkin'
Saw him cross over water while walkin'
That's amazing, no wonder you love him
What would you say if I told you I shot him?
Explosives are my toys
I'm a Far Cry from an altar boy
Trust me, I'll enjoy when I destroy
Your whole church and all who ever joined
'Cause I hate to break it
But you're all deranged
You made Hell out of this Home on the Range
I know the landscape's breathtaking
So take it in before I blow it away
It's time to hire some guns
Call in the dogs, and fire them up
Boomer, wanna play fetch? Rip out their necks
Get me their weapons and bring me their heads
Oh yes, we've got some bad seeds
And we know they've done some bad deeds
God said "you can never arrest me"
Guess what? It's the Devil that sent me
So you better pray, like you're in the pews
Get down on your knees
And then kiss my boots
Gonna make the Father call me "daddy"
Just like the rest of you
Who found you while you were lost?
When blind, who helped you see?
'Cause I'm the shepherd of this flock
I guide my righteous sheep
Of your sins, I'll see you washed
Then I'll set your soul free
The word of God is one you trust
So thank God he speaks through me
A holy book, for those in need
And all it took was just one Seed
The garden's overrun with weeds
You can't uproot what runs so deep
When he speaks it strikes a chord
The ark is built, they climb aboard
Although his prose is poison
If I can't beat 'em I think I might join 'em
Who found you while you were lost?
When blind, who helped you see?
'Cause I'm the shepherd of this flock
I guide my righteous sheep
Of your sins, I'll see you washed
Then I'll set your soul free
The word of God is one you trust
So thank God he speaks through me
