[Verse 1]
Man creates the God and the God destroys the man
Betrayed by their own invention, the shepherd butchers the lamb
A lion at the head of an army of sheep when comes time to feed
Like Saturn devoured his children, they're consumed by belief
[Chorus]
I am the chosen one
And I hold the key
Behold the prodigal son
This good I do lives long after me
Let iconoclasm set you free
[Verse 2]
Christ is the same yesterday and today, forever a lie
They concocted the heavens to keep all the puppets in line
Narcotic, addictive desire to believe they won't go to Hell
A dog that has bitten it's master that it once knew so well
[Chorus]
I am the chosen one
And I hold the key
Behold the prodigal son
This good I do lives long after me
Let iconoclasm set you free
[Bridge]
Figment of imagination, oracle of ignorance
Corrupter of society, killer of reason and innocence
An object of man's creation made to fill the hole inside
But that abyss has only been opened wide
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Wolves they guard the flock and they slaughter the sick and the weak
Sorrow is all that they find when salvation is all that they seek
The truth is the greatest lord where no fool commands the wise
Religion ten times undone, no room for compromise
[Chorus]
I am the chosen one
And I hold the key
Behold the prodigal son
This good I do lives long after me
Let iconoclasm set you free
