Cult of the Lamb Lyrics

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?

Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full

Thought you killed me, dear friends

Thought you killed me, most holy ones

Thought you killed me, you

Motherfuckers thought you killed me

Thought you could kill me?

Well you can't make a blood contract out of ink

Sure is neat to have a god to bring me back from the brink

There's no need to be appalled if I don't match what you think

You can lead a lamb to slaughter but you can't make em drink

So the sacrificial lamb isn't part of the plate

But the habits of the land can be hard to instate

That's why I have to push the brand at an alarming new rate

Just imagine what I'll hand to our Father who waits

Down below, past the realm of the zealots and priests

May as well say it's hell but I've felt the release

Of his breath on my neck, gave myself to the beast

But it's best not to dwell, I can tell when I'm fleeced

In the cult of the lamb there's quiet

From the riots

That define each lesser sect

In the cult of the lamb there's

Little fanfare

In our acts of love

In the cult of the lamb there's kindness

You can find us

Any time you wish to go

To the cult of the lamb where

What I can spare

Are the ones who'll never leave

To the cult of the lamb we will pull different animals

A holt for the clan that we sculpt from the damnable

And spare them from the mandibles of sacrilegious cannibals

Don't want to join the band? That's completely understandable

Perhaps I can persuade you if I ask

Would you prefer to meet your murder with a blade or with an ax?

I require very little payment for the task

Just be grateful that you're saved to be free labor on my staff

We serve a very angry master who is terrible and vast

And scary, baring all his fangs in every parable I craft

Because he loves us, and we are called unto his service

I apologize if any of the dogma makes you nervous

He is kind, he will free you from your sins

And absorb you into slavery cuz we belong with him

He is love, he's the beginning and the end

He sent me in to be your friend and preach his imminent revenge

In the cult of the lamb there's quiet

From the riots

That define each lesser sect

In the cult of the lamb there's

Little fanfare

In our acts of love

In the cult of the lamb there's kindness

You can find us

Any time you wish to go

To the cult of the lamb where

What I can spare

Are the ones who'll never leave

In the cult of the lamb there's quiet

From the riots

That define each lesser sect

In the cult of the lamb there's

Little fanfare

In our acts of love

In the cult of the lamb there's kindness

You can find us

Any time you wish to go

To the cult of the lamb where

What I can spare

Are the ones who'll never leave
