Lyrics The People's Temple - Jonestown

The People's Temple

The Devil is God in the eyes of the wicked…
The wanton destruction perpetuated by the books of peace!
Ideologies that forced us all, upon the killing floor!
Meat wagons are rolling out, fuelled by the holy words of hate
We consecrate our world, an abattoir
Death is life in the eyes of the righteous…
One last giant leap for mankind, off the edge of the world (edge of the world)
Embrace the end of history as a thousand suns engulf this world
Where they start by burning books, they will end by burning people…
Spectres of Eurasia, can be seen all across the world!
We sacrifice our agency, to destroy ourselves
The divine a sadist, mankind a masochist.
these painful lessons,
we will never learn
God must die, so we can live.
God must die, so we can live
God must die, so we can live.
God gave man the Judas kiss
The blind can see in the minds of the faithful…
One last giant leap for mankind, off the edge of the world (edge of the world)
Embrace the end of history as a thousand suns engulf this world
Applauding and sleepwalking, we follow our good shepherd off the face of the
Earth!
We all live in Jonestown (Jonestown), the night sky is white in this black
September
We all drank the Kool-Aid and followed our good shepherd off the edge of the
Earth…
Now…
One last giant leap for mankind, off the edge of the world (edge of the world)
Embrace the end of history as a thousand suns engulf this world
The fertility of tyrants, the fire which forever burns (it always burns)…
Misanthropic man made Gods, will consume this world!
