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, for you Lawyers and pharisees Hypocrites that you are Sure that the kingdom of Heaven awaits you You will not venture half so far Other men that might enter the gates you Keep from 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 in rages and ages of teachers Nothing can mar your mood
Alas, alas for you Lawyers and pharisees Hypocrites to a man Sons of the dogs who murdered the prophets Finishing off what your fathers began You don't have time to scorn or to 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 in rages and ages of teachers Nothing can mar your mood
Blind guides, blind fools The blood you've spilt On you will fall! This nation, this generation Shall bear the guilt of it all!
