The word cult in current popular usage usually refers to a new religious movement or other group whose beliefs or practices are considered abnormal or bizarre. The word originally denoted a system of ritual practices. The word was first used in the early 17th century denoting homage paid to a divinity and derived from the French culte or Latin cultus, ‘worship’, from cult-, ‘inhabited, cultivated, worshipped,’ from the verb colere, 'care, cultivation'.[citation needed]
In the 1930s cults became the object of sociological study in the context of the study of religious behavior. They have been criticized by mainstream Christians for their unorthodox beliefs.[citation needed] In the 1970s the anticult movement arose, partly motivated by acts of violence and other crimes committed by members of some cults (notably the Manson Family and People's Temple). Some of the claims of the anticult movement have been disputed by other scholars, leading to further controversies.
Government reaction to cults has also led to controversy. Cults have also been featured in popular culture.
Oppression is the Holy Law
In God I distrust
In time His monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
Is war and creed the master plan?
The Bible's where it all began
Its propaganda sells despair
And spreads the virus everywhere
[Refrain:]
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The pestilence of Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
666!
[Solo - Hanneman]
Corruption breeds the pedophile
Don't pray for the priest
Confession finds the lonely child
God preys on the weak
You think your soul can still be saved
I think you're fucking miles away
Scream out loud, here's where you begin
Forgive me Father for I have sinned!
[Refrain:]
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The target's fucking Jesus Christ
I would've lead the sacrifice
And nailed him to the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
666!
Jesus is pain
Jesus is gore
Jesus is the blood
That's spilled in war
He's everything
He's all things dead
He's pulling on the trigger
Pointed at your head!
Through the fear you're sold into the fraud
Revelation,
Revolution,
I see through your Christ illusion!
[Solo - King]
The war on terror just drags along
My war with God is growing strong
His propaganda sells despair
And spreads this violence everywhere
[Refrain:]
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
a lasting moment to hold onto with regret the scent of time
tried and tested I never noticed the phantoms of her mind
cresent moon im cutting through paste up warnings fill the sky
smoking embers I remember time and time again to try
to live I light to sink within her I think of light
time to blame to borrow from your past elapsed
collapsing
shes not insane
shes gone insane
and if the root of silence pulls me off and love is lost not
from my heart I sit upon this throne that throws me off
and she falls backward to the floor and forward to the back
she says elapses all my truth again shes the one I live for I live alone
burns inside horilbly she lifts me to the spirit burns
the darkest hours my corrupt brain is hurting
once again the door lies quiet left alone im thinking of her
Well the young man
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
I said a young woman
Ain't got nothing in the world these days
Well it's those old folks
Way up on the Parlaiment Hill
They got all the god damn money
But you know people
They step back when a young man walks by

When the barbarians approach on the frontiers of a civilization,
It is a sign of a crisis in that civilization.
When the barbarians come, not with weapons of war, but
With songs and icons of peace.
It is a sign of the crisis in one of a spiritual nature.
That a spiritual nature.
We have forgotten our spiritual nature.
Cause we are wrapped up in too much shit all day, all night.

That's right damn lies above

He came dancing across the water
With his galleons and guns
Looking for the new world
In that palace in the sun
On the shore lay Montezuma
With his coca leaves and pearls
In his halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects gathered 'round him
Like the leaves around a tree
In their clothes of many colours
For the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beautiful
And the men stood straight and strong
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on.
Hate was just a legend
And war was never known
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
They carried them to the flatlands
And they died along the way
But they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today.
And I know she's living there
And she loves me to this day
I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez
What a killer.
He came dancing ...
...so that others could go on...
He came dancing across the water
Cortez, Cortez

She was a girl from Birmingham

A fugitive has been away so long
A thousand years, and now he thinks of home

Woke up this morning
My head felt like a warzone
A mess of excess last night
If I get to the weekend

Jesus symbol is spinnin' round my head
Do you know my karma is cut up into shreds?
I've been searchin' for such a long time
I need that peace of mind
Peace of mind yeah
All the time I wonder
Where can I find this place?
All the time I wonder

The voice of the people cry
Drone on in monotone
Here is the news

On the black and white
The diluted truth
Pennies will make it pure again

People are drifiting by
Indifferent to stormy skies
Another day ends

Another day ends
Why am I alive?

Four crows nailed to a wooden post

Hey, hey
So psychedelic, driving over the sun
Past the still sky trees and fields
To the place the great relics have kissed you know

You break the man, leave its shell on the ground,
What have you done with your own lies, your words
Shed everything on you, speak everything i've seen
So kill your jealousy and watch you bleed.
You can't destroy them, the beauty and the youth.
You'll never be them, you never had the truth.
I lay down with the beasts on the ground
The prophets cry in every tear i pray forever
Shed everything on you, speak everything i've seen
So kill your jealousy and watch you still believe.
You can't destroy them, the beauty and the youth
You'll never be them, you never had the truth.
Destroy, destroy destroy it all.
Why I don't understand.
Why you destroy everything
so beautiful in your hands.
Come home.
And hate strips it away
The "yes" inside the men
But we've a golden loose
And hang you from the stars.
I run into the wild places
I'm so alive.
Search for the others' traces
And I'm so alive.
Every one of us feels alone inside
And every one of us has forgotten our name.
Elemental light
You're beautiful, you're beautiful.
Elemental light, she's beautiful, she's beautiful.
Awake unto a golden home
I'm so alive.

Every one of us has forgotten our way.
Elemental light, you're beautiful, you're beautiful
Elemental light, she's beautiful, she's beautiful.
I run into those wild places
And I feel so alive.
Elemental light, you're beautiful, you're beautiful
Elemental light, she's beautiful, she's beautiful.

yes fucking rape me fucking baby down
down down
down down
and push me to the
poison
down down
Your name is dirt
And I've got you under my nails,
From clawing to freedom,
I've been buried below your dark trails
Do you know who you are?
Are you having the time of your life?
Well I hoped there would be a day I would see you get your desserts
But baby there's still time
So when you lose your mind,
You'll find it at the bottom of the mess that's your life
Go take your own advice
Keep hoping that the lies never catch up to you in time
Your name is filth
Cause that's all you spew from your mouth
Well I think that your moral compass is broke,
It only points you south
And I wear my scars
Like rings on a tree,
There they are
Showing my age and proving where I've been so far
So when you lose your mind,
You'll find it at the bottom of the mess that's your life
Go take your own advice
Keep hoping that the lies never catch up to you in time
I can't say for sure
But it seems like you get more and more secure with every jab
My life with you
Is like tying my own noose
So when you lose your mind,
You'll find it at the bottom of the mess that's your life
Go take your own advice
Keep hoping that the lies never catch up to you in time [x2]
Where do I take this pain of mine?
I run but it stays right by my side
So tear me open, pour me out
There's things inside that scream and shout
And the pain still hates me
So hold me until it sleeps
Just like the curse, just like the stray
You feed it once and now it stays
Now it stays
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, until I'm clean
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you so hold me
Until it sleeps...
So tell me why you've chosen me
Don't want your grip
Don't want your greed
Don't want it
I'll Tear me open, make you gone
No more can you hurt anyone
And the fear still shakes me
So hold me until it sleeps
It grips you so hold me
It stains you so hold me
It hates you so hold me
It holds you, holds you, holds you
Until it sleeps...
I don't want it.....NO
So tear me open, but beware
There's things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'til clean!
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the hate still shapes me
So hold me until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
One day I saw a fear
in the eyes of the clown
dancing in the middle of my dream
selling prescribed grief
the short cut of knife
that forbade to breathe
the caravans of life
The marriage of nothingness
and greyness was joy with short
bursts of laugh dying
on the lips of mourness those
trying not to avoid
the path leading to
the unstoppable will of survive
A god's cold face
stone that marks
miles of our life
Fragile like withered leaves
overgrown with the moss
they are trying to imitate a divine
ship a velvet hulk
that is struggling against the wind
and being torn by desires of astorm
I saw the face of god
so crumpled like a sheet
They say believing is what we see
Though faith we sell
You want reward beyond where you lay
Look where we tell
Have you been searching for an answer to what you hide?
We'll keep your soul and your emotion
In us confide
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult.
We are the friend you can't trust in now
We are your grace
Nobody else will dare question us
This power saves
You haven't seen beyond the real world
We'll take you there
But not before we hear you confess
And say our prayers
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
All we ask is that you join our cult.
We can deliver you
Four winds come into view
Breathe deep of our beliefs
The cult knows you'll never leave
Purify your eyes
For you beg to be ever god's size
We can end your cries
