Motives and Thoughts

Rotating bodies, confusion of sound
Negative imagery, holding us down

Social delusion, clearly constructed
Human condition, morals corrupted

Trapped in reaction, lawlessness, war
Dissatisfaction from bowels to core

Devil's technology, strategy for
Human mythologies, urban folklore

Sick of psychology, counterfeit cure
Wicked theology, robbing the poor
Scheme demonology mislead the pure
Strictly strategically studying war

Light shown in darkness, image exposed
Few can see through the new emperor's clothes

Lustful this hustle turn humans to hoes

When the blind lead the blind

Just more trouble and woes

It's the mind that they chose

Its designed to stay closed

Standard of jokers, court jester a logic

Sick looking cosmics, from schoolyards to college

Primitive man with civilized knowledge

System collapse and he still won't acknowledge

God is the saviour, studies behavior
Trying to fix the mix mind that he gave ya

Stiff-necked scholars on prescription meds
Wishing their problems were all in their heads

Moral dilemma, pride is the root
Misguided from youth, heart divided from truth

Egyptians and Grecians, spiritually dead
Imperially led, by the gods in their heads

Motives and Thoughts

Industrial wealth

Global economy, in it for self

Heart full of madness, covered with kind
Pleasure designed to take over your mind

Furnished in godliness, painted in good
This tainted priesthood got real saints misunderstood

While classes in government, set up the veil
And cultivate minds for more mythical tales

Typical Hollywood follies good girl
While vice and corruption take over the world

Motives and Thoughts

Check your motives and thoughts

Blind with the wickedness, deep in your heart
Modern day wickedness is all you've been taught

Lied to your neighbors, so you get ahead
Modern day trickery is all you've been fed

Motives and Thoughts

Check your motives and thoughts
