Stephen Nathan - Alas for You Lyrics

Lyrics Alas for You - Stephen Nathan



Alas, alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees, hypocrites
That you be
Searching for souls and fools
To forsake them
You travel the land, you scour the sea
After you've got your converts,
You make them twice as fit for Hell!
As you are yourselves!
Alas, alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees, hypocrites
That you are
Ooh, sure that the Kingdom of Heaven awaits you
You will not venture out so far
Other men who might enter the gates, you
Keep them passing through!
Drag them down with you!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being devil's food
I send you prophets, and I send you preachers
Sages and rages and ages and teachers
Nothing can mar your mood
Alas, alas, alas for you
Lawyers and Pharisees, hypocrites
To a man
Sons of the dogs who murder the prophets
Finishing off what your fathers began
You don't have time to scorn at the scoff
It's getting very late!
Vengeance doesn't wait!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being devil's food
I send you prophets, and I send you preachers
Sages and rages and ages and teachers
Nothing can mar your mood
Blind guides, blind fools
The blood you've spilled,
And you will fall!
This nation, this generation
Will bear the guilt of it all!
Alas, alas, alas!
BLIND FOOLS!
