BURNT BIBLES.
You better whisper, don't shout! Don't know who's hanging about. People these days better pause because you know now there's new laws? Like those far off days of old we've got secret priest holes. Clandestine churches in caves and this other god to praise c They burnt our Bibles, we made more pulled down our churches, locked their doors Took away what dignity we had told us that our ways were bad They chose our rights, denied us trial Then God forbid, they burnt our Bibles
Can't be seen with a crucifix if you do punishments quick. Still hiding not found us yet farewell brethren we won't forget Christian Sabbath has been banned no holding your brothers hand Christmas, Easter don't exist no more peace just angry fists c They burnt our Bibles, we made more pulled down our churches, locked their doors Took away what dignity we had told us that our ways were bad They chose our rights, denied us trial Then God forbid, they burnt our Bibles
Folks climb mountains for a sign but there's no Moses this time God be angry we can't wait very soon it'll be too late They've discarded all our clothes for strange garments which they've chose Our clocks have returned to zero please Lord we need a hero
c They burnt our Bibles, we made more pulled down our churches, locked their doors Took away what dignity we had told us that our ways were bad They chose our rights, denied us trial Then God forbid, they burnt our Bibles

Travis,
Another great title and strong write. I'd be curious how it translates to song, and will wait patiently to hear it. There's probably an opportunity to smooth out a few of the lines, but just nits all around. Like what you have going on here.
Best regards,
Deej
