[Verse 1]
Always locking the doors to your mind
Escaping the reality that surrounds you
Using faith as an excuse to kill
A sick way of life is now revealed
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the prayers in the world can't help you now
A killer, a taker of life is what you are
Speak no more lies
It's your turn to die
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Preach the good word
Speak no more, prepare to burn
A justified torture?
From this may others learn
The life you took
A holy death, a grave mistake
No changing your mind
Your life you should pay
[Chorus]
Practice what you preach
Your loved one is now deceased
Knowledge is at our hands
Never to understand
[Post-Chorus]
Spiritual Healing
[Verse 2]
Blinded by the twisted ways you live
Kill for religion, will the lord forgive?
Idiocy has stricken your mind
A real life hell you will find
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All the prayers in the world can't help you now
A killer, a taker of life is what you are
Speak no more lies
It's your turn to die
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Preach the good word
Speak no more, prepare to burn
A justified torture?
From this may others learn
The life you took
A holy death, a grave mistake
No changing your mind
Your life you should pay
[Chorus]
Practice what you preach
Your loved one is now deceased
Knowledge is at our hands
Never to understand
