Religion has cast us all into darkness
It leads us to where no man should go
It has shown us a path where all is forsaken
It has shown us a God that's so cold.
We screw up then cry for redemption
In the darkness we beg for our souls
Searching for a way to get through a lifetime
For a place in God's heavenly fold.
We create mayhem, slaughter and carnage
Then claim it is all in our God's good name
We would even turn a gun on our brothers'
And the truth is they would gladly do the same.
I have seen no heavenly visions
But each day I see more people die
I see women and children burning in fires
Then I watch as the onlookers… pass by.
I see no comfort in their destruction
I see no Messiah parting the seas…
I see only one life and all their endeavours
Simply trying to be…
