"Full-size lies, lies life-size. You stand for everything I despise!" - Chorus of Disapproval
This one's for the lie-infected youth,
misled by empty promises.
What good is searching when there's nothing to find? It's fraud - in the absence of mind.
Made up from samples of old lores,
then translated and translated again.
Faith-by-numbers, not a dogma, not even close.
It's not an answer and it never was,
it's a bloodline through the ages,
with cruelty filling pages.
No "higher wisdom" is found in the words of these storytellers.
You ignore the bequested evidence of genocide, raped cultures and stolen lands in the name of "holiness";
ignore the dark ages
and blood soaked pages,
to pick out spot tests that suit you.
Your god is a heresy, your religion a fallacy
and your deliverance - a delusion.
They fuck your mind until you're blind,
headfirst Robin Hoods stealing from the poor to live like a king.
"Wanna have salvation? Get on your knees, give me all your money and kiss the motherfuckin' ring." Help-seeking people look towards you for a handful of hope,
but you just add god to their misery in the pursuit of your hegemony.
I've seen people starving on the doorsteps of a million dollar church
and a pastor looking to the sky, but not to pray,
he just looked away.
