Pulpit Despotism Lyrics

a sermon of judgment, a backward revival
a message misguided, a cycle of hatred
a blessing not given, a spirit left silent
a shepherd forsaken, a kingdom in ruin

i am the light, i am the leader
you are the faith, you are the followers
i am the king, praying for power
you are the sheep led to the slaughter

the preacher distorts the truth and the life
like cancer within the body of Christ
the masses are taught the worship of self
ignorance spreads like wildfire

put false prophecy to death
hope is not abandoned yet

we need revival
we need revival
(revival, revival) we need revival
πνευμα 'αγιον 'ημιν σωζε
(Holy Spirit, save us)
