Flock Of Wolves

from Rebel by Natalie Kendel

/

about

"Flock of Wolves" portrays the insidious and prevalent presence of spiritual abuse in many religious spaces.

The song's sound is gothic-inspired, evoking the macabre and sinister description of the lyrics.

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. Woe to you, blind guides!"

- Jesus, Matthew 23:15

lyrics

Come in, sit down, is it your first time?
Goodness me, is that your hemline?
Never mind, we'll have your straightened out
in no time

Come in and be washed by the blood.
We'll pump your veins full of our judgement
Cut you on the pages of our
Holy Bibles

Ooo, the hunt on
and you can run
but if you trip up
we will kick you when your down

Who'll protect us
from these vicious counterfeits?
Who survives these
congregations
when the fold's a
flock of wolves

Our teeth are glinting in the night
Our smiles are laced with cyanide
The hunt is on, our fangs are ready
Who's for dinner?

Come one, come all, come fill our pews
The pastor takes a bite of you
A pack of spiritual abusers
Face your accusers

Ooo, the hunt is on
and you can run
but if you trip up
we will kick you when your down

Who'll protect us
from these vicious counterfeits?
Who survives these
congregations
when the fold's a
flock of wolves

We'll use your want to come to God
as bait to lead you further from him,
make you twice the sons of Hell
as we're becoming

We'll stalk your choices, every move,
in case we'd like to disapprove
And none are safe
'cause we have weaponised religion

Ooo, I wonder how
will you respond
when you are asked to answer
for the sheep you’ve culled

Who'll protect us
from these vicious counterfeits?
Who survives these
congregations
when the fold's a
flock of wolves

Oh good Shepherd,
come and rescue
us from all these counterfeits!
None survive these
congregations
when the fold's a
flock of wolves

‘Cause the fold's a
flock of wolves
