The Toll Of The Bell?

The Toll Of The Bell?

​

So you heard the voice of Jesus

Tucked 'tween the lines of greed

The noble lie doth satisfy

And give you all you want

But never need

​

So you strolled off to the churches

Then you marched off down the mall

You worshipped god and mammon

Camels - needles eyes

You must recall

​

And you think your going to heaven

The big black dogma bit your brain

So who's the true believer

And who's the damned insane ?

​

You hide behind

Your whitewashed fences

You "Barbie" hard on well mowed lawns

Money laundered squandered whores

Of more and more and more and mores

While the uber cut and yawn

​

Yet you think your going to heaven

The big black dogma bit your brain

So who's the true believer

Who's the damned insane ?

​

Oh you think your going to heaven

The big black dogma bit your brain

So who's the true believer

And who's the damned

Who's the damned

Who's the damned insane ?

What's the song about?

​

"The Toll Of The Bell?" It's about the relationship between ignorance, greed and religion.

 

So many people are conned down the centuries to go fight, kill and die..for what?

 

For fuck all...Go get rich and kill a lot of fellow humans..Sure you did your duty..I'm sure the "LORD" you worshipped would accept your sacrifice.

 

"The Toll Of The Bell?"..Oh it will summon people like you - that never realised what you stood for or even where you came from.

 

You recited prayers to a world you never understood..and begged a God you could never really comprehend that he may grant you material riches.

 

And when that "bell" rings? Well..lets hope it doesn't echo through your brain for eternity...
