Immolation
Higher Coward
[Spoken Intro]
Didn't you say... Jesus was coming?

[Verse 1]
Cowards, with your empty hearts
And narrow minds, so bitter
Our confusion is overwhelming
So aimless and misguided
Your search for a higher power
Something better than yourselves
In a perfect world, your perfect god
Is a coward just like you

[Verse 2]
Watch them gather, they flock together
For in numbers they feel strength
Will you find your way to paradise
Through the darkness within your light?
To the children, they feed his body
Peel his flesh from off the cross
In his blood they'll wash away
All the dirt from their souls

[Verse 3]
Obedient young, they'll join the flock
With minds like clay and hearts so pure
Fill them with his words and fears
And feed them to the waiting beast
[Verse 4]
His open arms and splendid brilliance
Devours those who can not see
The dimming light from high above
Vanquished by their higher coward

[Verse 5]
How can you glorify and praise
One so weak, imperfect and insane?
The magnitude of his madness is so clear
In the eyes of the herd that he keeps

[Outro]
Look what you have become; just another, like all the rest
