Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees
Hypocrites that you be
Searching for souls
And fools to
Forsake them
You travel the land
You scour the sea
Then when you've
Got your converts
You make them
Twice as fit for hell
As you are
Yourselves
Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees
Hypocrites that
You are
Sure that the kingdom
Of heaven awaits you
You will not
Venture half so, far
Other men who
Might enter the gates
You keep from
Passing through
Drag them down
With you,
You snakes
You viper's brood
You cannot escape
Being devils's food
I send you prophets
And I send you
Preachers
Sages in rages
And ages
Of teachers
Nothing can mar
Your mood
Alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees
Hypocrites to a man
Sons of the dogs
Who murdered the
Prophets,
Finishing off what
Your fathers began
You don't have
Time to scorn
Or to scoff
It's getting very late
Vengeance doesn't wait
You snakes
You viper's brood
You cannot escape
Being devils's food
I send you prophets
And I send you
Preachers
Sages in rages
And ages of
Teachers
Nothing can mar
Your mood
Blind guides!
Blind fools!
The blood you've
Spilt on you will
Fall
This nation
This generation shall
Bear the guilt
Of it all... !
Alas, alas
Alas for you...
Blind fools!
