Opiate for the Masses Lyrics


The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason

And he who dares not reason is a slave

It is difficult to free fools from the chains they so revere

The most useful of slaves are those who believe they are free

Religion applauds delusion and renames it "faith"

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance

It is the illusion of knowledge

Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies

The death of dogma is the birth of reality

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored

The journey towards enlightenment

Is a path wrought with destruction

A process with nothing to do with

Attaining happiness and self-improvement

It is the crumbling away of untruths

It is seeing through the façade of pretense

Enlightenment is the complete eradiation

Of everything we imagined to be true

Religion is the opiate of the masses

It is the duty of all human beings to think God out of existence

Only then do we take full responsibility for who we are
