Born under the sign of tortured souls

That an absent demiurge controls

Gonna be a funnel for their funds

Give complete obedience or be shunned

By the cult

To the figurehead, exult

You can find pleasure in the misery

Or come join freedom with me

Search for a new perspective in life

Rather than being told existence is strife

Life tends to suck but that does not mean

On the crutch of the cross, you must lean

Think carefully

Read a bit about theology

Or just a basic lesson in history

Or you can be blind willfully

Don’t let them hold their hands over your eyes

It takes a moment of thought to see through their lies

Hear the words beyond their fake amens and cries

They don’t know what next after a person dies

Who you are or are into is not some sin

Critical thinking gets under their skin

They follow the words of a kingpin

Let the administration’s fall begin

Knowledge is their worst enemy

Read it in the story of Eden’s tree

Ignorance keeps the sheep in the flock

They will ensure that you’re under lock

And key, with a detailed file

Bankroll their leader’s lavish lifestyle

They’ll say your squalor is a necessary trial

And offer your sufferings a smile

Watch their paper empire fall

As to empty skies, they call

Ye indoctrinated lambs

Be free from Religion, INC.’s scams

They call heavy metal

Music of the devil

Then I gotta thank him at least

Unleashed by the beast

Get out while you can, it’s not too late

They’re an institution of isolation and hate

Let me show you to the real world’s gates

Where you can retake control of your fate

Even I was once under their spell

Worried about going to Hell

But if you think enough you’ll be set free

You’ll find no holy fear within me

Because nobody’s there

And if he is, he must not care

The problem of evil shows you have no prayer

So despair
