Lyrics

One by one, the young will fall
Indoctrinating process growing
Some too weak to fight at all, who controls their future?
God above, or god below, questions no one can answer
Live the truth, or die to know, it's my agnostic vision

Jews killing muslims, and christians killing jews
The circle is unending, and all sides always lose
If faith is blind devotion, then death is the result
When history is rotten
The young young and pure grow dead and cold

I don't need a book for saving, fellowship or days of praying
Organizing means dilution, and results in persecution
Through it all I keep a vision, understand what I believe in
Truth is not the faith you follow
It? far more than you can ever know

Religion, the burden we carry forth
Mankind, addicted--the drug spreads on
Paranoia eats all reason, driving their crusading mission
Zealotry from rome to mecca, millions more become infected
God cannot be mass-projected
Or beaten out through forced confessions
It? for all of us to ponder
Not for dogma? chains to hold us down
Wake up, and put the past where it belongs

Just beat them back till they are gone
?Ause their doctrines lead to misery
They?e prophets preaching fantasy
How can they hold themselves
Above the rest?

From holy birth to martyr? death, the moral quest for life beyond
It? just a pipe dream for the paranoid
The empty words of holy books
Will mislead all those that read

Buried in the lines of text are the myths that feed their needs
Born from flesh, just like all earth down below
Which came from a life form we can never know
(In our present context)
Pray for a world that only god above can save?
The church is the reason why they?e lost their way
Crusades and inquisitions, holy wars, jihad
They are the willing victims of a grand facade

Above it all, the lies are told
The masses follow without question
First to die, or last to go, I know my convictions
Flesh and blood, and spirit life, the trinity of my perception
Dead awake, or sleeping dead, we will find out in the end
