You see them everywhere. "Castles of piety" resplendent with all the beauty and dignity that wealth can purchase. Their massive arches and columns, a reflection of earthly virtue and power. Within its hallowed walls you will find the people cloaked in their finest attire. As well they should be, since the master they serve, is himself, the embodiment of all that is beautiful. Come inside.....let me introduce you to him.....You are welcome!
From "The Great Apostasy: A Conspiracy of Satanic Christianity."

King Of The Earth
Sidney Allen Johnson
(ASCAP)

Castles of Piety resplendent in gold
A feast for your eyes to behold
Crosses and statues, colored windows that glow
Inside a heart that beats cold
Chasing the lifestyles of the rich and elite
Your chapels and temples built with envy and greed
Bilking a fortune off the faith of the poor
We have seen your kind in here before

The kingdom of God now serves the king of the earth
Idols and treasure brought you what you deserve
The kingdom of God now serves the king of the earth
Swallow your pride just like you swallow my words

Pillars of faith defiled in public discord
Commandments of God are ignored
Leaders and statesmen pledge a vow to restore
Anger within your heart soars
Uncivil rights will lead to uncivil wrongs
Surrender to passion and true justice is gone
What you are seeking is to even the score
We have seen your kind in here before

Heaven deprives you of your strength from above
Because you betray your first love
Paving the way for Perdition's own son
The work of the devil is done
The mercy of Jesus or the cravings of power
You chose the poison and the faithful devoured
What you are seeking is a greater reward
We have seen your kind in here before
