SABBAT--Church Bizarre

Taken off the History of a Time to Come album by one of Englands finest thrash bands, fronted by the enigmatic Martin Walkyier backed up by Andy Sneap (guitar), Frazer Craske (bass) and Simon Negus (drums).

Released by Noise Records.

This song is having ago at Tele-evangilists/Born again Christians.

LYRICS:-

Hallelujah Brothers, Hallelujah,
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord.
Fear His name,
Fear His word.

The stage is set my friends for the play
That never ends -
This comedy we call the Church Bizzare,
Once you enter you are bound to find
Salvation by the pound,
Assured the more you pay the nearer God
You are.

Your mouth so paralysed with fear you
Dare not speak,
Your eyes so blind and hypnotised you
Cannot weep,
So blinkered to reality that you no
Longer care,
That profit is the prophet of corruption
And despair.

Bring on the dancers -
Bring on the clowns,
Who invite you to ride on their
Merry-go-rounds,
They make the money and they make the rules,
You 'Born-Again-Christians' are born again fools.

THE EVANGELIST PRAYER:

God of wealth and God of might guide me
To your paradise,
For many lives were bought and sold that
I may walk your streets of gold,
Though my heart is cold and still I rest
In peace my pockets filled,
And bear the smile of one who knows
Through God's Love my cup overflows.

A 'salvation salesman's dream -
Guillible to the extreme,
Easy pickings for the charm and 'savoir faire',
Of these charlatans and theives whose
Delight is to decieve - all the fools who
Still believe they really care.

And if all the Devil's minions were let
Loose to do their will,
I think they'd be hard pressed to match
In diabolic skill,
The wickedness and treachery of this evangelic horde,
Who sheler their corruption with the banner of their Lord.

(Repeat 3 & 4)

The curtain never falls on the show that has it all,
Taken in you can't begin to see their lies,
For the people who are clapping are the ones who will be laughing
At your fate,
They just can't wait to bleed you dry.

Praise the Lord,

HA! Hahahahahahaaaaahhhh!

[eradius]

such a great tune, stupid christians. always makes me laugh when i see them trying to convert people in the streets to just go and stand next to them and shout "SATAN IS YOUR SAVIOUR!" lol

[oldthrashhead]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-))

[leganewu]

Good old thrash from Britain...

Danke Kumpel \m/

[bloodinthemetal]

Rofl i like the tags "westbro baptist pope".

That's what they should call there church. Fred knows he thinks the pope is hot. He's just in denial. :)

[oldthrashhead]

Hell yeah, what a fucking crackpot lot they are lol!!!!!

It makes me laugh, these tele-evangelists say shit like God will welcome you......as long as you pay me a thousand bucks!!!!!!

I think thats the same line of thought Martin had when he wrote this song. ;-D

[Mishaxhi]

@fraydkat Listen to "The best of enemies" off of Sabbat's Dreamweaver album. IMO, it blows this out of the water.

[fraydkat]

madmen & magigians all the same

[godkingRoss]

the solo always turns my testicles inside out and draws them in so far they're right behind my eyeballs.

[Sabbathman1979]

Energetic, devastating thrash brilliance in the old school way. And you can't even find vocalists like this anymore. Vicious, snarling, sweating, with gleaming angry eyes - heavy fucking metal attitude to the bone. Just like the song itself.

[JackevAll]

@JackevAll any*

[JackevAll]

It doesn't get much better than this.

[VicRattlehead50]

Best outro ever.

[axeofgod72]

20-something years later and just as valid... this is a great sing-a-long, for those who KNOW what is being said...

[fraydkat]

the best non christian song ever written god dammit

[fraydkat]

wtf
