Praise the Lord (Opium of the Masses)

One by one, the young will fall, indoctrinating process growing

Some too weak to fight at all, who controls their future?

God above or God below, questions no one can answer

Live the truth or die to know, it's my agnostic visionJews killing Muslims and Christians killing Jews

The circle is unending and all sides always lose

If faith is blind devotion, then death is the result

When history is rotten, the young, young and pure

Grow dead and coldI don't need a book for saving, fellowship or days of praying

Organizing means dilution and results in persecution

Through it all I keep a vision, understand what I believe in

Truth is not the faith you follow

Its far more than you can ever knowReligion, the burden we carry forth

Mankind, addicted, the drug spreads on

Paranoia eats all reason, driving their crusading mission

Zealotry from Rome to Mecca, millions more become infectedGod cannot be mass-projected

Or beaten out through forced confessions

Its for all of us to ponder

Not for dogmas chains to hold us down

Wake up and put the past where it belongsJust beat them back 'til they are gone

'Cause their doctrines lead to misery

Theyre prophets preaching fantasy

How can they hold themselves above the rest?From holy birth to martyrs death

The moral quest for life beyond

Its just a pipe dream for the paranoid

The empty words of holy books will mislead all those that readBuried in the lines of text are the myths that feed their needs

Born from flesh, just like all earth down below

Which came from a life form we can never know

(In our present context)Pray for a world that only God above can save

The church is the reason why theyve lost their way

Crusades and Inquisitions, Holy Wars, Jihad

They are the willing victims of a grand facadeAbove it all, the lies are told, the masses follow without question

First to die or last to go, I know my convictions

Flesh and blood and spirit life, the trinity of my perception

Dead awake or sleeping dead, we will find out in the end
