Toxic Lullabies
by Behold the Beloved

Album: Toxic Lullabies - Single

Verse 1
They're poisoning the dream you drink
A lethal dose of sweet relief
These wolves have got us counting sheep (counting sheep)

Their melody is blasphemy
A sugar-coated profanity
These wolves have got us counting sheep (counting sheep)

Pre Chorus
So don't fall asleep
Don't fall asleep
Don't close your eyes
It's just a toxic lullaby

Chorus 1
Whoa whoa
(They're just toxic lullabies)
Whoa whoa

You're hypnotized by the lies from the hypocrites
Heresies the disease they infect us with
Open your eyes, Time to realize
It's just a toxic lullaby

Verse 2
They wanna keep you safe and sound
Sedated til you're in the ground
They're scared to let the Spirit breathe

So wake up, break out of the silent crowd
Let the truth spill from your mouth
The Word of Life has set you free

Chorus 2
Whoa whoa
(They're just toxic lullabies)
Whoa whoa

You're hypnotized by the lies from the hypocrites
Cyanide drippin down from the "prophets" lips
Open your eyes, Time to realize
It's just a toxic lullaby

Bridge
The wolves can't be trusted
They're selling a lie
The gospel corrupted
While pockets are lined

To every voice
Still bringing the truth
Step out, get loud
Cause only lions stand against the wolves

Final Chorus Tag
These desperate lies
Won't take our minds
Waking up, breaking down their dark disguise

Look in my eyes
Time to realize
It's just a toxic lullaby

Matthew 7:15
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

1 John 2:18
Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour.

Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

1 John 4:1-21
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 Timothy 4:3
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

2 Timothy 3:5
Having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

2 Peter 2:1
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

Toxic Lullabies (Thoughts)

Toxic Lullabies was written to challenge people to stake a step back and look at their spiritual influences. We live in a time that everyone wants to think that they are the one that believes the truth and everyone opposing is believing a lie. As we wrote this song I was struck by how easy it is to believe a lie. This song primarily deals with spiritual teaching that does not align with scripture. Unfortunately, not everyone labeled "Pastor" can be trusted. Not every "Christian Band" is rooted in truth. False prophets will only become more prevalent in our culture as time moves on. Their messages often sound great but once held up to scripture are nothing more than heresies or "sugar coated profanity". We are told that we don't need to change anything about ourselves "You are perfect the way you are". It is true that we are invited to come to the cross with all our sin and filth but we are also called to grow and be transformed (sanctified).

Rarely are we told bluntly to embrace paganism or renounce our faith. In our modern culture we are sung to sleep with the sweet sounds of false/soft doctrine ultimately rendering us useless in the kingdom of God. Our faith is not executed on display but quietly poisoned without us really realizing what's happening. We encourage the listener to "wake up" "Don't fall asleep" "Don't close your eyes to the toxic lullabies". Pick up the Word of God for yourself. It's only when we know His word for ourselves that we can also identify the poisonous lies and take a stand boldly against them. We must be made strong in the truth "Cause Only Lions Stand Against the Wolves".
