Deception

[Intro]
What's the point, huh?
Seat me in the front row of the pew
Let me ask a question:

[Verse 1]
What's the point of porcelain prayers?
No one's listening, no one cares
Leaning on a faith that's fading
Bleeding from the heart while waiting
Mary the mother of a savior
She's the model of human behavior
Offering misleading direction
Only in the Son is sinless perfection
You can present your gold, maybe it'll save your soul
You can trust the lies they told, but rather let the truth
Unfold

[Refrain]
I won't believe all the things you tell me
I never buy into the things you're selling me
You can try but my eyes stay open wide
Exploit the lies and the dirt they try and hide
Secure a spot when the casket drops
Money for your soul is like casting lots
What's the point of faith if you've paid the cost?
What's the world gain if your soul is lost?

[Verse 2]
What's the point of a pope and a priest?
Maybe it's the giver of the mark of the beast?
You can confess your sins, over and over again
Trusting in a man for redemption
Hoping for divine intervention
Offering a limitless wish list
They hold the keys to eternal forgiveness
You can present your gold, maybe it will save your soul
You can trust the lies they told, but rather let the truth
Unfold

[Refrain]
I won't believe all the things you tell me
I never buy into the things you're selling me
You can try but my eyes stay open wide
Exploit the lies and the dirt they try and hide
Secure a spot when the casket drops
Money for your soul is like casting lots
What's the point of faith if you've paid the cost?
What's the world gain if your soul is lost?
