Wool Over Our Eyes Song Lyrics

As I skip amongst the thickets
Well, just look at what I've found
An innocent wee critter
Sitting, shivering on the ground

Entrapped and gagged and bound
Upon a sacrificial mound
Such a miserable predicament
So, how'd you like the sound

Of a haven-cum-community
A vibrant congregation
Of waywards just like you
The fates aligned for me to save from

The depraved and heathen demons
And their vile abominations
Enslaving feeble minds
Into a life of prostration?

Not like my operation
Not the slightest correlation
Why, we've dances, feasts and festivals
It's like we're on vacation

No time for contemplation
Would you like to come and take some
Salvation in exchange
For just some light indoctrination?

The pact is sealed

Welcome in, brethren
Step down off the pentagram
Blessed be and bend the knee
And pledge to me forever and

Forget the need to question and
We'll never need to reprimand
Lethargy is heresy
You're very keen to lend a hand

There's effigies to render
And a temple yet to build
We've many seeds to tend to
And there's earth still left to till

And every second spare
You'd best remember to keep filled
In reverent prayer and penance
Lest dissenters shall be kill

Ecting up the mess
Until they find their crimes regrettable
All evidence says heaven's light's
Not likely for the skeptical

The bedding's of the finest moss
The lichen, often edible
Now, don't you think your life outside
Was tiresome and forgettable?

Deep in the dark of the woods
Where secrets sleep
We serve he who waits beneath
Till the soul, devotion reap
For the lamb who herds the sheep

In the dark of the woods
We pledge our lives
Sages say that faith is blind
Arms raised high in sacrifice
Pull down wool over our eyes

Time for your donations
Fill the dish up, pass the gold plate
