the doomed

A Perfect Circle

Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude
Good luck, you're on your own

Blessed are the fornicates
May we bend down to be their whore
Blessed are the rich
May we labour, deliver them more
Blessed are the envious
Bless the slothful
The wrathful, the vain
Blessed are the gluttonous
May they feast us to famine and war

What of the pious
the pure of heart
the peaceful?
What of the meek
the mourning
and the merciful?
All doomed
All doomed

Behold a new christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude
Good luck

What of the pious
the pure of heart
the peaceful?
What of the meek
the mourning
and the merciful?
What of the righteous?
What of the charitable?
What of the truthful
the dutiful
the decent?

Doomed are the poor
Doomed are the peaceful
Doomed are the meek
Doomed are the merciful
For the word is now death
And the word is now without life
The new beatitude
Fuck the doomed, you're on your own
