Pretenders

[Verse 1]
Oh, what makes the sinner?
What makes the saint?
What makes the beast in you awake?
Justify the pleasure
Justify the pain
Push you to the threshold until you break

[Pre-Chorus]
No signs shown of mercy
No, they don't understand
Just blind, sworn to duty
It's time to regulate, but to deserve the fate

[Verse 2]
Lead the slave on Sunday
Then sin for six days more
Calibrate the moral compass once and for all
The [?] never letting up
For two thousand years, come on, what the fuck?
So tell me, when is enough enough?

[Pre-Chorus]
No signs shown of mercy
No, they don't understand
Just blind, sworn to duty
It's time to regulate, but to deserve the fate

[Chorus]
Pretenders of the faith
Selling a fantasy, they hail the stake
Pretenders of the faith
Pretenders of the faith (Faith)
Look out from behind because they're on the take

[Bridge]
Bless you, Father, for you have sinned

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Pretenders of the faith
Selling a fantasy, they hail the stake
Pretenders of the faith
Pretenders of the faith (Faith)
Look out from behind because they're on the take
