about

A gentleman in the haunted attraction industry had his business burned to the ground by a religious fanatic. This was my response.

lyrics

The Zealot

I've got religion, I'm on my knees
I really think you better follow me.
I know what's right, I know what's wrong.
The end is near but I can't wait that long.
I've got to take matters in my own hands.
The Lord is counting on me
To send a message of his radiant love
By setting fires, Holy Pyres.

Chorus
In God's name I pray for you.
I know your soul's impure.
In God's name I sentence you
To die by fire, die by fire.
In God's name, In God's name,
In God's name I light this flame.

I read the gospels and memorize
The words that suit me, all the rest are lies.
Jesus tells me which to believe
And which ones don't apply to me.
I've got to take matters in my own hands.
I've got to sterilize
The tainted flesh running rampant in man
By setting fires, Holy Pyres.

Chorus

I'll purify you, I'm sanctified.
Jesus talks to me.
Your evil-doing will be rectified.
I talk to Jesus, I talk to Jesus.

Chorus
