Holy Rage

[Verse 1]
Turn your rage to holy fear
And kiss the son while he is near
Hail the preacher, but burn the seer
Oh, I'll know God when she appears

[Verse 2]
Daughter, you were born with sin
Your Ma passed on that snake within
Forgive me, I was born with skin
And I'll bite the head off with a grin

[Verse 3]
The altar cloth is stained with blood
And the pews are caked with peasant mud
Yet bones and feathers, my dryin' bud
You claim will call a mighty flood

[Verse 4]
Go wash your body in the creek
Then come and kiss your savior's feet
Your herbs and salves will get you beat
This wine you'll drink, this bread you'll eat

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 5]
And if you're bleeding, stay at home
'Cause dogs still bite through mouths of foam
A she-wolf bore our Holy Rome
A virgin blamed, a man atoned

[Interlude]
I saw them all
Walking like saints to church, running to feed the sick
And hypocrites in their hearts

[Verse 6]
The Holy Ghost might seek you, child
But speak of fae, you'll be exiled
From rib of man came all on earth
So screams the maid as she gives birth
