Holyroller

A Chapter by Shawn Purcell
"

A look into deep rooted hypocracy

"

A little thunder rolling

Across a Tennessee plain.

God's cross in the distance

A world hiding in shame.

 

Doubt,

And just a little bit of vision.

Just a little more suffering

To this world that’s what you owe.

 

 

Bloody hands and clean robes

Lies and secrets no one knows.

Does he see the light

When he prays for himself at night?

 

Cast the dice,

Like a law man on the outside.

With no control and no fear

Fates left to the divine.

 

Out in the desert cold

Many will die tonight but

It’s ok if it’s for faith

If god is on your side.

 

Chorus

Holy roller,

Your greed sickens me

You return what you give

Receive your sacrament again.

Holy roller,

Your lies sicken me

Your lies sicken me

Holy roller.

 

No, he doesn't heed a calling

Because he knows he'll be redeemed.

What's a little blood

To the throne of the king?

 

Stained glass eyes,

Dirty windows of the soul

Hypocritic smile.

It’s ok the door is closed.

He thinks he knows the way.

Eternity not today.

Live for tomorrow

And your soul will be saved.
