Lyrics

History's shown you that answers can't be found above
Life's great questions are tackled only by us
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth
We've explanations that men of god can't fathom

Searching for your destiny
In a book that's not reality
We solve the the earth's problems
Through our science and technology

Look back one thousand years when science was in its infancy
The church had the word, the world was forced to heed
How many times they led astray, their flock was shown no mercy
"It's god's will", not good enough, minds were closed ignorantly

We are here to shed the light
And your "savior" is powerless to fight
You must realize that your theology is wrong
And we are right
Accept it for it's proven
And the truth is for all to see
Scientifically we'll answer any question there could be

Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!

Religious dogma that's confused and shackled you
Searching through the good book not knowing what's the truth
You're only innocent, raised servile and unaware
Unconversant to what is really out there

Humanity must be erudite but not only from books should it gain insight
Through practice of sound philosophy comes cognizance of man's own plight
This you won't find in your church or your faith
Though science has always attempted to explicate

Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!

Intelligence is lacking in your realm
That is why we've come to take the helm

As you have seen, you cannot turn to god for the solution
Mankind has thrust himself into a sick position, lack of vision
To those who blanket and surround themselves with gullibility
There will be severity
Yet again we will achieve the answers because we are more than god

As you kneel and pray
Genuflect our way
Try and feel your way
Without our guidance someday

History's shown you that answers can't be found above
Life's great questions are tackled only by us
Knowledge of mysteries that puzzle your learned men of the cloth
We've explanations that men of god can't fathom

Searching for your destiny
In a book that's not reality
We have solved the the earth's problems
Through our science and technology
We see the things that you can't find in your faith
We are in command with men like hawking leading the way

Obviously you don't see that we've become your deities
Can't you see that we are your new priesthood?
Blinded by your piety and impotent divinity
Recoginize that we are your new priesthood!
