To Veil the Truth
The Two Faces of the Christian Right
They baa like sheep in meadows warm
Then sting like bees inside the swarm
They sing like birds in treetops high
Then bite like snakes to hush their lies
Then sting like bees inside the swarm
They sing like birds in treetops high
Then bite like snakes to hush their lies
They are the Christians of the right
Who bleat by day and howl by night
With crooked smiles and faithful praise
They hide their secret wicked ways
They moo like cows in pastures green
Then bark like dogs gone mad and mean
They swim like fish in fearful schools
Then strike like sharks that feed on fools
They are the Christians of the wrong
Who yelp and wail their crafty song
With hollow hearts the faithful roar
To veil the truth behind Death's Door
