...of the Human Condition - Blinded by Faith

Here we are again
Back where we started
Nothing will ever change
I won't let go of my hate

My rage consumes me
The anger grows within
No matter how I try
I cannot make you see

You're so fucking blind
Ignore what you don't like
Go ahead and close your eyes
So you don't have to feel
You follow without question
No thought allowed here
Can't you see you have no soul?
Don't you feel empty inside

So many people are dying
Fighting for the belief
The belief is just a lie
Another reason to kill
Mad men kill thousands
Slain men lay to rot
Your conscience is clear
It's all in the name of your god

Kill your god follow your heart
Think for yourself your life is yours

For so long now
Since the dawn of time
The scared masses
Have followed the light
All for the promise
Of eternal life
I can't help but feel
Just a little violated

You meekly do gods will
What about what's best for you
You deserve your own opinion
God is speaking through your mouth

Reason for his decline
No longer do we cower
We think for ourselves
We decide our own truth
Wear your mask
To hide your shame
Your eyes show through
As does your pain

In this time and place
Where all hope is gone
You will try to find
Something to hold on
There's no need to slave
To words of confusion
Believe in what's inside of you

Who takes your pain?
Wraps it in shame
Spewing word of hate and punishment
Believing in love and preach damnation
I'm tired of feeling worthless

Give me reason

Then you pray
Always silence remains
How much longer can you keep your faith?
When no ones listening

Look inside
You'll find the truth in you
Be strong and reclaim
Your life and your mind

You sit and pray
And do nothing
For fear of sin
When you wake up
From your hell
You will realise
Its time to die
