Totalitarian Doctrine 歌詞

A scornful preacher spoke divinity with condescension Upon his silent congregation, bemused in reverence Contempt and hate spew from the pulpit towards dissenters Everlasting fire roars beneath them to be their sentence Pernicious dogma derived from archaic fiction Fallacy and superstition corrupts their faculties Unquestioned acceptance deemed exemplary Gullibility masquerades as faith and decreed a virtue As a mere primate you claim knowledge of divine intentions Yet you preach humility from a throne of stone and gold Control maintained through guilt and self-deception Morality through tyranny Created sick, commanded to be well Guilty by our nature Christianity - the totalitarian doctrine Behold the scornful preacher Crucified and tortured Relinquished culpability Sins atoned through crucifixion For he loved us so much He'd ask us if he'd kill Behold the scornful preacher Crucified and tortured Relinquished culpability Sins atoned through crucifixion For he loved us so much He'd ask us if he'd kill one of his own Emancipate from mental serfdom Emancipate yourself from fear Liberation of the mind persists with its free thinking Define your purpose And begin to live for yourself Free from empyrean tyranny No more I stand in abjection Offerings and rituals substitute for merit Indulgences stave off perdition Humanity's downfall in prostration to the divine No gods before me I stand a liberated man Spit on the scornful preacher And reject his offer of salvation Free from empyrean tyranny No more I stand in abjection Free from empyrean tyranny I stand a liberated man
