The Awful Truth Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Entrusted to watch the flock
Took advantage of the post
Betrayed the youngest ones
A real wolf in shepherd's clothes

Instead of guiding towards the light
You used that twisted, vile, mind
To manipulate, and take, scarring them for life

[Pre Chorus]

Is it getting hot, under that collar?
Is it getting hot, prey, tell me father!

[Chorus]

Now that your cover's blown
You've been exposed, the awful truth
Acts so evil, that your own god won't help you
Is it getting hot under that collar?
Well it's hotter where you're going
So settle in and come to grips with your uncomfortable death

[Verse 2]

The snake hidden among the pews
With such a savage, toxic bite
Size up the prey as you pontificate
About the promise of the afterlife

Well dear god I hope there's a heaven
So they can see your wretched face
As the gates slam shut, condemning you A prisoner of your own faith

[Pre Chorus]

Is it getting hot, under that collar?
Is it getting hot, prey, tell me father!

[Chorus]

Now that your cover's blown
You've been exposed, the awful truth
Acts so evil, that your own god won't help you
Is it getting hot under that collar?
Well it's hotter where you're going
So settle in and come to grips with your uncomfortable death

[Bridge]

Coz no punishment on this green earth
Can make up for the harm you've done
So I hope you spend your days trembling
I can't wait to watch you burn (x2)

[Chorus]

Now that your cover's blown
You've been exposed, the awful truth
Acts so evil, that your own god won't help you
Is it getting hot under that collar?
Well it's hotter where you're going
So settle in and come to grips with your uncomfortable death. (x2)
