Where's the church at anyway? (poetic rap)

Where's the church at anyway?
You here all these busted religious people say.

I can't forget the memory
Kinda hope that it happens to me .

Jesus loved us dearly but he told us straight
That this world won't stop the hate.
So many dead though still be alive.
While we live all messed up and dead inside.
Nobody remembers, no one cares.
Mention their names you get stares.

Used to be... say "Jesus" and you get beat, tortured with your family tossed out on the street.

But what they don't tell you is the death toll wouldn't stop.
Constantine took control
Just to put Peter on the Rock

Confusion in the courts! Empire religion!
Put away your Bibles, the sword is the mission!
Worship Old gods now their just called apostles
But all of the real saints of God are just burnt up fossils

All they wanted was to follow God on their own.
Chased down into caves under candlelight all alone.

Call em left; call em right. they'd worship God all night
The were montanist, donatists, culdees, cathars and novations.

Albigensees, Waldenses, paulicans and nestorians
Hussites Lollards, anabaptists and more.
Neever Shifting or moving their convictions and core.

Picture this, a small pierenes village
The peace gets raped as the land gets pillaged
Families rounded up gathered in one place.  they been taught peace, but not at this pace.

Time to take the preacher, most holy teacher, 
be an example to the flock of how they gonna treacha!
Beat him and burn him in front of our women and babies
The soldiers are bloodthirsty like they got rabies!

They put us down and beat us; we can't take this no more!
We can't take one more smack of this Babylonian whore!
50 vrs. 120 soldiers; wasn't good odds.
They couldn't survive, they had offended our God.

Amidst their graves we didn't believe what we did!
Why couldn't they live and let live?
After it all we approached the prince with sorrow and feeling needy.
We told him all we wanted was peace, So he signed a treaty.
They let us live, like 5 years.
But only our genocide could stop the tears.

How long oh LORD?
As we wait for vindication.
But now it's all good though life had such frustration.
Now we are with Jesus as he is seated on the throne. While they roast in the underworld all alone...
