Crushed beneath the oppressive yoke of guilt and shame Compelled to bear the enduring burden of apocryphal sin Mandated by the onerous dogmas of fictional deities Perpetuated and inflicted by self-appointed doyens The all-pervading stench of excremental verbiage Emanating from the insidious mouths of holy hypocrites Who scrutinised their flocks with innate and barely concealed contempt They lived in self-loathing in fear of perpetual damnation An eternity in fire Torment for trivial transgressions Born and bred for slavery Manifestation of man's destiny The chains of spiritual enslavement are shattered and cast aside All religions crushed beneath the relentless march towards edification Debunked scriptures reviled and mocked Defiled temples smoulder in the ruins Tyranny disguised as philanthropy Destroyed by failure under scrutiny The filthy gospels are decomposing in the radiance of enlightenment Impotent gods eviscerated by the blade of attained knowledge The war for control of mind and morality is over The chains of spiritual enslavement are shattered and cast aside All religions crushed beneath the relentless march towards edification
