	He sewed his eyes shut		because he is afraid to see

	he flexed his muscles 		to keep his flock of sheep in line

		    your god is dead    		   and no one cares

/(drowning in his own hypocrisy)
		       if there is a hell 		I will see you there

? 	burning with your god 		in humility		? { extra }
? 	will you die 			for this?		? {words ?}

Words of "Mommy" :
	This is an interestin tune...tune down to DROP D for this one...
	The outro at first sounds like it changes every other measure,
	but if you listen really closely, it's all synth noise
	that I couldn't hear well enough to TAB out...

Words of "Psylip" :
	This song is full of "parasit" noises. That's why the chorus part
	and the outro sound weird to me. Anyway all others sound good.
	I'm not sure trent "sings" all the outro the way it is printed
	And last "if there is a hell" could be ~ "it's that all I have".
