Rebuilding Valhalla
March toward your apostasy
Oh, vanguard of the slums
Crave to raise new precedents
Beat impious drums
The pulse of Sunday morning
The culpable may rise
To learn the factual history
Of those it calls despised
But deviate your discord
And fall right in to line
You'll see the Great Pretension
Of Insincerities' crime
Renew then all your furies
And find the missing Word
Lost under marble basilicas
And tons of cleansing dirt
The snake is on the heal
The heel is on His head
The villainy in you
The angels themselves dread.
