Falling Steeples

I hear them praying
what are they saying
I see them shouting
what are they doing
speaking in tongues
can't translate a word
slayed in the spirit
laid out on the floor
remnant soldiers
are they ready for war
are they ready to go
are they ready to leave
are they ready to fight
are they prepared to bleed
are they ready to get up
off their knees
I hear them preaching
what are they teaching
to the masses
they're holding  classes
hope everyone passes
hoping they're strong
ready to show up
this battle is the end
it won't last for long
the earth is tired of
being wired to the world
Masters are chosen to
workers are hired
soldiers are summonsed
helpers are dispatched
servants are born
worshipers are needed
that' been done
the building fund
never broke foundation
a lying pastor broke up
a whole congregation
I can't make this stuff up
every time things
are going smooth
an outside source, interrupts
that's what causes empires
to selfishly, self destruct
