Cries! A child is born anew tonight Baptized in light and swaddled tight Innocence unbridled shining bright The only glimpse of life before the lies A twisted fable in disguise The flock led to their own demise A lifelong death sentence without trial When warring faiths live in denial Historic fallacy exemplary Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit A long and drawn out liars' decree Confounded Confined within their beliefs Onward the apostles read The prophecy of hypocrisy An odyssey in utter mockery To sow the seeds of theocracy Father! I come to thee, I must lament I must confess I fear descent If god truly is omnipotent I fear we shan't be heaven sent The atrocities I've seen, to me I keep But I'm far too gone to try to save Counting beads on rosaries Won't stop the flames from burning free. Historic fallacy exemplary Bound to the creed of the tome of deceit A long and drawn out liars' decree Confounded Confined within their beliefs Onward the apostles read The prophecy of hypocrisy An odyssey in utter mockery To sow the seeds of theocracy Lies! When you lay upon your bed of death Taken your last breath and laid to rest And you've left this world of the bereft No afterlife awaits the end
