Standing on the corner
of deaf dumb and blind
wondering what happened
to his once unshattered mind
he needed a purpose
he needed a cause
he needed a way to hide
his acne scars

no friends
no lovers
no parents
no pets
only gods and masters
read the trifold pamphlet
if you want divine purpose
buddy here's your chance
choose hoods and robes
over shirts and pants

a nod of agreement
was all that was needed
a goat was disembowled
and the ritual completed
and a hole opened up
underneath his feet
and the geek was eaten
by the cold concrete

But No! No tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees
But No! No tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees

when he finally awoke
from unruly dreams
he was surprised to find
he heard this musical theme
pouring out of a tower
in the center of the earth
a cross of castle, monolith and church

A shambling horde
in hooded black robes
was the welcome wagon
to his newfound home
they welcomed him with open arms
and other extremities
indoctrinate this nerd
in the newfound heresies!

Flagellate the body!
decimate the soul!
dedicate his spirit!
to the ancient gods of old
get him hooked on drugs
and baptized in blood
send him back to the surface
to destroy all that's good!

But No! No tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees
But No! No tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees
But No! tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees
But No! No tears please
some people find their happiness
upon their bended knees
