lyrics

Ten thousand years, we've waited for him
Ten thousand stories we've passed down for him
Left at the altar by the one we adored
The passion, the glory, the grift of the lord

By sacred arrangement I traded my years
For false obligations, and debts in arrears
Always one step behind under his guilded sword
The power, the glory, the grift of the lord

Never again will I drink from his cup
Never again will I fall for his bluff
The gift is a con, and the grace is corrupt

Ten thousand hustlers would bow before him
Ten thousand shots of redemption for them
Sold at a price I could never afford
Bilked and bamboozled by the grift of the lord
The passion, the glory, the grift of the lord
Left double-crossed by the grift of the lord
