The People's Temple Lyrics

Predator for those impoverished,
Maniacal wizard of mind control projects,
"Please rise, and leave your lives behind."
Maintain a code of silence,
Your jewels and your cash will go to his pocket.
All of your values and all of your worth-
Leave it aside for your profit to docket.

"Forget your names my brothers and sisters.
I am your Lord, your father and mother.
You are my prey, and I the Piranha.
Now pack up your shit, let's go to Guyana."

Through the brush, machetes that mangle the jungle-
Clear a path for reverend's wrath.
The compound appears in the midst of all the thicket.
He sold you a lie, and you went ahead and purchased the ticket.

"I'm your God, I'm your Jesus.
I gave you life in this Utopia....All this for us!
Praised be the People's Temple.
Praised be those I've fixed.
There's only one way out of Jonestown, and it sits in the drinks we've mixed."

Assassinating embassy officials,
Gunned down, on the airport runway.

"Let the night roar!"

"Cyanide will help us hide, and take us to the other side."
Don't fight the wine, it's a gift, it's divine.
Choke upon your bile as you bleed out your eyes,
A slow pathetic panic of a human demise.
Collapse and rot in a massive grave,
Religion was a fallacy you dead, bloated slave.
Stiff and contorted you diminish.
Bet you thought you'd go out with a grimace.
