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...
