No Righteous Man

I've heard your dedications, you claim are one accord
You built your church and altar, as a tribute to your lord
I've seen your airs and graces, it's a part of some grander plan
But I've never seen the outcomes, 'coz you're no righteous man

Old Clootie likes to play you, like a some angel's harp
He'll even quote you scripture, read with sincerity and heart
You can worship as you wish, you're no different than I am
Except I don't claim be divine like you, you're no righteous man

So take a look around you, at the other hypocrites
You'll only do what you want, I'll just do the opposite

So sing your way to heaven's door, it won't absolve your sins
Stand in judgement by the throne, won't guarantee to get you in
Hide your hearts of darkness, I wonder if you can
The truth for you won't set you free, 'coz you're no righteous man

So watch out for old Clootie's mark, it's one you can't disguise
The alibis you claim as truth, won't save you from your lies
Because one day you will have to answer to, all your mislaid plans
Then stand up and be counted for your sins, you're no righteous man

The things you've done in your god's name, will damn you in the end
The fire you lit so long ago, will burn you in your sins

And when that fateful day arrives, and you stand before the throne
Will you hang your head in shame, for all the things you've done
The truth is harder to admit, when your fiery tongue becomes a brand
And leaves you with the mark of Cain, you're no righteous man...
