Some people say that scripture will save, but I never took solace in verse 
Or in digital pictures of gold tabernacles enshrining humanity’s curse Feudal lords, under different names, continue to wail broken psalms But James the Just left a message for us, and it fills me with comfort and calm He said we must have faith that the wealthy will wither, malnourished by fear and excess That the sun will set on the merchants of death
, and the meek shall inherit what’s left But faith without works is dead in the crib, so all ye now roll up your sleeves ‘Cause the sweat of the covenant’s thicker than blood If we all help each other believe So show your faith - claim a seat at the right of your lord Show your hope - claim the bounty of your vision board 
Show your love - plant a rose at the feet of your dead
 But do your work - and we’ll cut off the great serpent’s head So show your faith - claim a seat at the right of your lord Show your hope - claim the bounty of your vision board 
Show your love - plant a rose at the feet of your dead
 But do your work - and we’ll cut off the dictator’s head

落とし子 落とし子 Baskets cast on the endless lake of mud Descendants of survivors of the flood Helpless infants wishing for a mother’s warm embrace Cast aside to hide some deep disgrace And we wear it on our face To keep an engine turning, you need coal To keep a fire burning, you need soul Not a greedy despot working toward a selfish end; Just another twice-cursed bastard on the mend, Pining to ascend.
