Morality 03:50
[Sam Harris Quote] Verse 1: This book could be moral if you don’t mind misogyny And thinking women are nothing more than property Deuteronomy teaches it’s fine to rape women If they’re captured in war, they’re yours for the pickin’ A victim of rape, has to marry her attacker Long as he pays her father, then he gets to have her Women are seen as less than second class citizens Seems it’d be easy to tell preachers to sit and spin But no, you can be righteous and still think you oughta Let a crowd of men gang rape your daughters That’s what Lot thought, sick in any context There just isn’t a way to justify the concept It’s complete nonsense, some say it was the times Things were different, so what you changed your mind Is the bible wrong/ or should women not be equal Would you say we should treat them as lesser people Hook: Biblical morality/ is fictional/ a fallacy/ If you thought it’s real/ you’re showing symptoms of a malady/ When mentioned it’s so sad to see/ another mental tragedy/ Thinking this book full of brutality/ is reality Verse 2: In this day and age/ it should take a lot of bravery To say your morals come from a book/ that’s pro-slavery Maybe we should sell daughters/ a new commodity If they didn’t claim it’s true/ it’d be bad comedy Probably because that book hasn’t been updated So the lessons taught from it haven’t been upgraded I’ve heard it stated/ that that was in the old book What about Luke 12/ verse 47/ yea, go look I know some believers/ have the best of intentions And just cherry pick from what each testament mentions But these messed up editions of ancient lesser conditions Support people being in oppressive positions That’s why it’s so strange/ my culture is so addicted To a book that helped their freedom remain restricted They’re afflicted to something/ contagious and outrageous Singing praises to the pages/ that keep ‘em in cages Hook: Biblical morality/ is fictional/ a fallacy/ If you thought it’s real/ you’re showing symptoms of a malady/ When mentioned it’s so sad to see/ another mental tragedy/ Thinking this book full of brutality/ is reality Verse 3: Thou shalt not kill/ remember that commandment It seems simple/ but few of them can understand it Their god itself planned it/ in that Exodus story Mass infanticide/ there isn’t much more gory So any time your next door neighbor gets you mad Punch their little baby/ to piss off mom and dad That can’t be bad/ it’s in the bible/ like genocide I’m sure during ethnic cleansing/ only sinners died Stone your disobedient children and kill gays Slay your neighbor if he labors the wrong day Yahweh says/ blaspheme or follow other religions Then you must have made/ the last of your decisions This is all from the bloodiest story ever sold Used to control the fold/ since back in the days of old If you were told/ morals come from this/ you’ve been lied to And you know it said/ atheists like me should die to Hook: Biblical morality/ is fictional/ a fallacy/ If you thought it’s real/ you’re showing symptoms of a malady/ When mentioned it’s so sad to see/ another mental tragedy/ Thinking this book full of brutality/ is reality [Richard Dawkins Quote] [Sam Harris Quote]

Verse 1: Why ain’t you sick of these/ phrases/ contradictory From a preacher in books/ that ain’t hardly even history It’s a mystery/ why they think a second trip in Is beneficial/ still they keep the record skippin They reject the livin/ can’t tell what makes them think They should go against the most basic of instincts Long as I have pen ink/ I’ll be writing against them Over instrum-entals/ tryin’ to break down the system Every kick drum/ snare and high hat Will be used against those who choose to deny facts I defy that/ social norm/ my mind won’t believe I’d rather die on my feet/ than live on my knees The quotes don’t agree/ back on the main topic Why base your life on words of a lame prophet With insane concepts/ about the end of days Where you at?/ it’s been millennia since you went away (He's coming back) Chorus: Ain't you tired of the same refrain They might switch the picture but don't change the frame About 2000 years the claim’s remained Part of how they maintain the chains (He's coming back) Verse 2: He’s so gone/ so long/ on so much he was so wrong Still the followers/ keep singing the same ol’ song Go on/ and live your life/ I could say that And let you spin your wheels for years/ like Pat Sajak Straight facts/ are always better than delusions Abusin’ illusions/ infusin’ confusion in humans So much unproven/ and much of it unprovable But for some reason/ that still passes as truth to you Still doing what they used to do/ waitin for a return Hoping they’ll float up on the clouds/ while we burn When will we learn/ to see/ and not be so damn blind What kind of psychopath wants the end of mankind Can’t find/ the answers/ things aren’t going very well That doesn’t mean that you should live by fairy tales Or fear some scary hell/ cause of what you don’t believe in Your god is dead/ let it go/ try to use some reason (He's coming back) Chorus: Ain't you tired of the same refrain They might switch the picture but don't change the frame About 2000 years the claim’s remained Part of how they maintain the chains (He's coming back) Verse 3: Luke 21/ he said this generation won't pass away Before he came back/ and you would see the last of days I guess that was a masquerade/ or just a lie prob'ly If that was really said/ to anyone/ by anybody Your whole book is shoddy/ but its servant's patience Is crazy/ as they reinterpret/ reinterpretations Consider you might be mistaken/ then your life was wasted Think of the energy spent on this/ if you replaced it With basic/ efforts to help/ without conviction 'Cause it's the right thing to do/ not 'cause of superstition Try to lose religion/ you'll find you'll convince yourself Life is amazing/ without the damaged mental health Until you're content to shelf/ the dogma and the fiction And try to overcome that supernatural addiction Your position/ will be in favor of genocide While all the time/ it's been a lie (He's coming back) Chorus: Ain't you tired of the same refrain They might switch the picture but don't change the frame About 2000 years the claim’s remained Part of how they maintain the chains (He's coming back)

Verse 1: Bow your heads and pray/ to your sky daddy or zombie Why people are still doin this/ man it’s beyond me I’m up against an army/ six billion or more there So this is my version/ of guerrilla warfare Many more share/ my view/ but they stay in the closet When they could use their logic and knowledge as rockets The object of this project is to get hands outta pockets And raise ‘em up to tell the prophets of nonsense to stop it Use reason/ don’t knock it/ if you never tried to do it And if you don’t know how/ let me guide you through it First try to prove it/ is it probable or plausible Does it try to make claims/ that are highly illogical If it does then it’s not the truth/ it’s just bullshit That some fools spit/ from behind a pulpit Ask yourself when you’ll quit/ believing the lies And break away from the spell/ that’s misleading your lives Chorus: You can’t give me a reason/ not to use reason What you’re perceiving/ could be deceiving I’ll question everything/ that you believe in Unweaving/ these webs of lies/ long as I’m breathin Verse 2: Call me a heathen/ blasphemer/ infidel Heretic/ godless/ tell me I’m meant for hell And feel you hit the nail/ on my perspective My objective/ is to show your view is defective Forget the prime directive/ I’m tryin’ to interfere And activate both your left and right hemisphere Show you ain’t no sinners here/ ain’t no saints either Do yourself a favor/ turn up woofers and crank tweeters Of the faint speakers/ voicing your inner doubt Blind faith is for losers/ let that winner out If you feel me send a shout/ Yea/ stand for the truth If you say there’s a god/ man show some proof There is no excuse/ for blindly followin’ the herd They servin’ garbage/ stop swallowin’ the words When they hollow like a birds/ bones/ you ain’t alone ‘Cause I can’t condone/ living life by an ancient tome Chorus: You can’t give me a reason/ not to use reason What you’re perceiving/ could be deceiving I’ll question everything/ that you believe in Unweaving/ these webs of lies/ long as I’m breathin Verse 3: If you got in the maze/ of praise/ ‘cause how you were raised Get over it/ and tell your parents/ it was just a phase I’m amazed/ that in this age/ we believe in miracles In books by men that didn’t know the world was spherical With nothing empirical/ evidence is irrelevant Some probably think/ I’m devil sent/ or malevolent I ain’t doin’ this for the hell of it/ hell is imaginary Like goblins, trolls, gods, orcs, elves and fairies You can’t scare me/ my patience is growing very thin Listenin to adults/ with imaginary friends Forget your prayer and sins/ you need to change your focus Before religion eats our seeds/ like a plague of locusts Get your mind out the days of Moses/ it’s mythology Rip the prophesy/ right out of your philosophy That’s how it gots to be/ give a reason not to do it If things are how religion says/ you got to prove it Chorus: You can’t give me a reason/ not to use reason What you’re perceiving/ could be deceiving I’ll question everything/ that you believe in Unweaving/ these webs of lies/ long as I’m breathin

He was a young man/ looking for some guidance Didn’t know where to go/ life on auto-pilot Saw a couple girls and guys/ who were always smiling Wondered if they had peace/ when they close their eyelids He walked up/ they said ‘have you heard the gospel’ Take this bible/ don’t worry/ it won’t cost you You can learn about Jesus/ and his twelve apostles And celebrate the lord above/ his love is so colossal Was this the great truth/ that he felt he was seeking Read the book the whole week/ right through the weekend Started thinking/ to his heart/ that god was speaking Felt he found the way/ and this was his beacon Started going to church/ Wednesday bible classes Early service/ late service/ helped out at the masses His whole world was spinning/ and this was the axis Heaven awaited/ he knew he had safe passage He believes the words on the pages Gives thanks for all the mercies and graces Memorized the stories/ even quoted chapters He knows he’ll find his joy in the hereafter He believes the words on the pages Gives thanks for all the mercies and graces Memorized the stories/ even quoted chapters He knows he’ll find his joy in the hereafter Had a whole new family/ showing love to him But how they followed the word/ wasn’t enough for him Told him to calm down/ he was too much for them He responded god/ was the only judge of men They call him extremist/ a fundamentalist ‘Cause when he needs answers/ he runs to Genesis To logic and reason/ he’s become a nemesis In the name of Jesus/ how he ends his sentences Not accepting/ anything contradictory Whether it’s from science/ or it’s from history Forced his ideas on others/ causing misery All because he believed/ in the book literally The rest of his life/ went on sabbatical Factual eschewed/ for the supernatural People whispered/ he’s radical/ fanatical God’s will must be done/ all else collateral He belongs to words on the pages A servant of his worship and praises Conforms to the stories/ tries to live the chapters Wants to be ready for the impending rapture He belongs to words on the pages A servant of his worship and praises Conforms to the stories/ tries to live the chapters Wants to be ready for the impending rapture So he left his church/ they’re worried ‘bout him Said they were hypocrites/ he could do without ‘em They tried to lift him up/ back when they found him But he dove in too deep/ now he’s drownin’ A family moved in near/ he saw they were different In their dress/ their ways/ mostly their religion Started harassing them/ saying they were sinnin’ Shouting insults and slurs/ right where they were livin’ A guy from his old church/ saw him causing trouble But there’s no reason/ getting inside his bubble So they got into it/ had a little struggle Fell and hit his head/ blood began to puddle It wasn’t the fault/ of the guy from the church He didn’t want anybody/ there to get hurt But the young man/ was just going berserk Thinking the whole time/ he was doing god’s work He became the words on the pages Nothing more than the verses and phrases Brought to life the stories/ as if he wrote the chapters Knowing he was doing right by his holy master He became the words on the pages Nothing more than the verses and phrases Brought to life the stories/ as if he wrote the chapters Knowing he was doing right by his holy master He succumbed to words on the pages A victim of the verses and phrases Consumed by the stories/ devoured by the chapters Contained in the world’s greatest man-made disaster He succumbed to words on the pages A victim of the verses and phrases Consumed by the stories/ devoured by the chapters Contained in the world’s greatest man-made disaster

Sans Seraphs 03:45
Lennon sang imagine/ few tried to envision Life with no heaven/ no hell/ and no religion Decisions/ would be made/ based upon compassion Without any reward of life/ that’s everlastin’ He wasn’t askin’ much/ just to open your mind Hopin you’ll find/ you may be only towin’ the line For those that designed/ ways to keep you broken, confined Invokin’ divine/ words/ what they’re promotin’s malign Why be devoted and blind/ to what has been embedded You’ve been told your whole life/ I’m sure it’s hard to forget it Reality’s so poetic/ reason/ never reject it Respect it/ see the world as it is/ you won’t regret it Give doctors their credit/ medicine’s not a miracle It’s science and dedication/ no part of it’s spiritual If someone put fear in you/ about asking questions Maybe it’s just their own doubts/ that they’re projectin’ Without angels, there’d be no less vividness And people would realize some things are coincidence Without devils, the world would still be the same When people do wrong they just can’t shift the blame No miracles, in ignorance, there’s humility Anything can happen, given probability And without gods, it’d change the mentality For so many, and how they engage reality Postulate for a second/ there’s no source of evil Just outcomes/ of bad choices from bad people No Satan trying to deceive you/ no fire and brimstone No god up in the sky/ pushing Stockholm syndrome Religion’s a symptom/ of ignorance, lack of sciences For the unexplainable/ they invented appliances But so much violence is/ done in the name of faith I see why they needed it then/ but it’s time it was replaced So much/ effort we waste/ on mental archeology That could be used on/ society or technology You owe an apology/ if you proselytized But still I’m not blaming you/ if you got lost in the lies It’s not easy to toss it aside/ I’m sure it has to be arduous But it’s necessary to see/ just how marvelous The world is/ it’s a part of us/ feel the catharsis As Mr. Sagan said/ we are made of star stuff Without angels, there’d be no less vividness And people would realize some things are coincidence Without devils, the world would still be the same When people do wrong they just can’t shift the blame No miracles, in ignorance, there’s humility Anything can happen, given probability And without gods, it’d change the mentality For so many, and how they engage reality If the only thing stopping you/ from being a parasite Is the hope the one day/ you could live in paradise Then that’s a scary sight/ you’re more or less/ moralless In that case/ your professed/ beliefs/ are probably for the best But for the rest/ of homo sapiens/ consider humanism There’s no true religion/ they’re all/ different superstitions Choose a new position/ this life is all we have ta Contribute to the world/ feel love and laughter And after/ this/ all that’s left of you is memories That might make you consider/ how you use your energies Too many entities/ are enemies/ to our betterment Your life may have storms/ but it’s you/ that can weather it No supernatural impediments/ no spiritual crutches Not in the hands of cherubim/ nor in a demon’s clutches As much as/ it may comfort you/ or set your mind at ease Think of how it must feel/ when you’re finally free Without angels, there’d be no less vividness And people would realize some things are coincidence Without devils, the world would still be the same When people do wrong they just can’t shift the blame No miracles, in ignorance, there’s humility Anything can happen, given probability And without gods, it’d change the mentality For so many, and how they engage reality

Angel Dust 03:53
Knowledge is/ one of the best ways to demolish it Good ideas can stand/ no need for apologists But as long as people use/ faith for solace it Might not work to rid us of/ gods and goddesses I’d say how odd it is/ it’s lasted so long But some will always hold on/ when pressure is so strong Prolonged/ artificially/ misled from infancy We need entropy/ to enter these entities Its bigotry/ pervasive/ but it’s still persuasive We have the means/ but not the will to replace it So it stays in stasis/ precepts of regression Need steps of egression/ redress the deen lessons World hasn’t seen weapons/ unleashed on the masses That were this disastrous/ we have to move past it Let it all turn to ashes/ let a new age begin Death is a part of life/ all things come to an end Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left Paint’s been on canvas/ monuments been erected Symphonies been composed/ they don’t need to protect it Check it/ If it had a purpose/ it’s already been served A vestige hanging around/ longer than it deserves Preserved/ for the benefit/ of degenerates Who claim they can make your insignificance/ infinite Inclimate to the insolent/ influencing the innocent Vigilant in their diligence/ to mask its impotence By playing to sentiments/ not to your common sense Bottomless promises/ vomited from prophet's lips Confidence in providence/ just bolsters the soldiers When we need to get their arms/ close to the holsters Disposed of and sobered/ so one day we can kill this Idea of sin/ that psychosomatic illness We’ll never see our brilliance/ if we stay in the dark It might take some time/ but I can’t wait ‘til it starts Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left They see the cracks/ and adapt/ so it won’t all collapse But they sing the same song/ prolonging the final act Perhaps/ if they accepted that/ it doesn’t ring true They wouldn’t hold on so tight/ to the things that they cling to Whatever it brings you/ look at it with some pragmatism It’s gotta go/ the catechisms/ need cataclysms Antagonism/ for lack of visions/ and bad decisions Keep up the activism/ one day we will crash the system You don’t need to ask permission/ or give apologies Let the homilies/ and prophecies/ become mythology Honestly/ it’ll probably/ become comedy And believers will be seen as novelty/ or anomalies Think responsibly/ teach your progeny/ reasoning Everyday a little more logic/ is creeping in The iron fist is weakening/ encrusted in rust Change is coming/ you know what wind does to the dust Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left Let the books decay/ let the statues fall Let the paint just fade/ and peel off the walls Let the stories go/ let life manifest Let it break/ crumble/ ‘til there’s nothing left Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust
