[Intro] (soft choir hum, slow organ swell) He wears the cross like a crown of flame, Sells the truth under God’s own name. Welcome to the sermon in red. (Welcome to the sermon in red.) [Verse 1] Gold on the altar, greed in his grin, Quotes the word while he counts the sin. Voice like honey, heart like coal, Blessin’ your soul while he takes control. Every verse a lie with a saint’s perfume, Every prayer another tomb. Crowd says “amen”, can’t see his eyes, He’s the devil dressed up in a holy disguise. [Pre-Chorus] Faith on fire, hearts misled, All fall silent at the sermon in red. [Chorus] Sermon in red, lies in his breath, Preachin’ salvation, dealin’ in death. Smile like grace, but his touch feels dread, He’s the devil disguised in the sermon in red. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] He feeds on guilt, calls it divine, Turns your blood to his holy wine. Baptize shame, sell redemption twice, Mercy’s free, but he names the price. Choirs sing while the candles cry, Saints look down but don’t ask why. Heaven don’t claim what hell has led, Not every halo hides an honest head. [Interlude] [Bridge] (beat drops to half-time, echoing choir) He says, “Follow me, I’ll wash you clean,” But you’ll drown before you ever dream. Every sinner he saves is a stone he owns, Buildin’ his church out of broken bones. [Chorus] Sermon in red, lies in his breath, Preachin’ salvation, dealin’ in death. Smile like grace, but his touch feels dread, He’s the devil disguised in the sermon in red. [Instrumental] [Outro] (organ fades, whispers of a crowd praying) The bells still ring for the souls he fed, But heaven turns away from the sermon in red.
