Lay me down before your god,

whom you picked out of a hat

when all hope was lost.

 

Make me the sacrificial lamb

who you lay on an altar,

knife at the ready.

 

Put that knife to my throat,

trace a line for death

out of desperation

 

Now slice deep,

so that your sinful ways

may be forgiven

 

And force me to my knees

screaming your prayers

out of gutless fear.
