Alas for You Songtext
von Victor Garber
Alas for You Songtext
Alas, alas for you,
Lawyers and pharisees
Hypocrites that you be
Searching for souls and fools to forsake them
You travel the land you scour the sea
Then when you′ve got your converts you make them
Twice as fit for hell!
As you are yourselves!
Alas, alas, for you
Lawyers and pharisees
Hypocrites that you are
Sure that the kingdom of Heaven awaits you
You will not venture half so far
Other men who might enter the gates you
Keep from passing through!
Drag them down with you!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being Devil′s food!
I send you prophets, and I send you preachers
Sages in rages and ages of teachers
Nothing can mar your mood
Blind guides, blind fools
The blood you've spilt
On you will fall!
This nation, this generation
Shall bear the guilt of it all!
Alas, alas alas for you!
Blind fools!!
Lawyers and pharisees
Hypocrites that you be
Searching for souls and fools to forsake them
You travel the land you scour the sea
Then when you′ve got your converts you make them
Twice as fit for hell!
As you are yourselves!
Alas, alas, for you
Lawyers and pharisees
Hypocrites that you are
Sure that the kingdom of Heaven awaits you
You will not venture half so far
Other men who might enter the gates you
Keep from passing through!
Drag them down with you!
You snakes, you viper's brood
You cannot escape being Devil′s food!
I send you prophets, and I send you preachers
Sages in rages and ages of teachers
Nothing can mar your mood
Blind guides, blind fools
The blood you've spilt
On you will fall!
This nation, this generation
Shall bear the guilt of it all!
Alas, alas alas for you!
Blind fools!!
