Machine Head
Death Church
[Intro]
"Is it a conspiracy that the music is telling the youth to rise up against the establishment because the establishment is rapidly destroying things? Is that a conspiracy? The music speaks to you every day, but you are too deaf, dumb, and blind to even listen to the music. . . It is not my conspiracy. It is not my music. I hear what it relates. It says "Rise," it says "Kill." Why blame it on me? I didn't write the music. . . ."

[Verse 1]
Well, I look at justice in a different light
I been to jail, it didn't make me right
Try and conform, but won't be deaf, blind, dumb
Been beaten down, just harder I've become

[Chorus]
Death, death church rising
Hate, hate church rising
Lost, lost church rising
Death, death church rising

[Verse 2]
Hey Jesus, can you help me with my pain?
Mainline me some religion, keep me sane
Christ suffering upon my TV screen
Send in your money to the faith obscene

[Chorus]
Death, death church rising
Hate, hate church rising
Lost, lost church rising
Death, death church rising
[Lead - Flynn]

[Lead - Mader]

[Verse 3]
Strength, truth and honor, words I strive to live
Your faith's profane, it takes, never gives
'Cause I'm gonna die standing upon my feet
You're gonna die groveling on your knees

[Chorus]
Death, death church rising
Hate, hate church rising
Lost, lost church rising
Death, death church rising
