Baptized In Dirt

transparent times of mediocrity

hate rolls down the assembly line

violence rules the city

destined for a life of crime

lost in the back beat

viewed from behind closed doors

karma is my personal retreat

in a nation infested with w****s

destiny overwhelmed by truth

like soldiers on the frontline

want it clearer we’re the proof

of a species in decline

souls on the black market

seems everyone’s got a price

just another moving target

to the piper we’re the mice

meltdown

everything spilling out

showdown

help me count the dead

baptized in dirt

scattered across the earth

baptized in dirt

and on this rock we build our church

hollow disregard for love

pillars constructed in blood

when push comes to shove

we’re just fragments of mud

time and time again

repeating all our past mistakes

devoured and consumed by sin

until the levee breaks

meltdown

everything spilling out

showdown

help me count the dead

baptized in dirt

scattered across the earth

baptized in dirt

and on this rock we build our church

revelations and suspicion

the lamb is slaughtered

hurt a mother’s intuition

when all faith has faltered

a pivotal warning

part of the discussion

citizens left learning

the influence of repercussion

meltdown

everything spilling out

showdown

help me count the dead

baptized in dirt

scattered across the earth

baptized in dirt

and on this rock we build our church
