Death in the offering

They promised us a treasure,

a vaste horde of gems,

gold, silver,

diamonds

all a glitter

and a jangling.

just give it all away,

life will reward you

your generous spirit

bringing in the blessing.

well...

you know,

we tried,

we tried and we tried and we tried

until our pockets were emptied

our love exhausted

and lives broken and torn.

they lied..

they lied and they lied and they lied,

their pockets filled

with our rewards.

foolish seekers,

naive believers

innocent and trusting

we died,

and we died and we died and we died.
