Story Behind the Song
People always damn me to hell because I don't believe in they're God, this is my answer.... my heresy!
Lyrics
Infidel
Pray for me, cause y’all gone think that I need it
I’m a rat-bastard blasphemous heathen
I’m a preacher hating satanic demon
To y’all, I just don’t have much to believe in
So pray for me cause I’m not gonna do it
àIf it don’t talk back then I won’t talk to it
I read the bible twice all the way through it
I’m true but not Muslim, Christian nor Jewish
I’m and infidel, damned to hell
That don’t exist as far as I can tell,
I dwell here on Earth, where I see and smell
And hear and taste and fell things I deem as real
Pray for me, that your God would be revealed
I’ll join y’all in heaven and feel surreal
The appeal of heaven is so ideal
But it’s so concealed that I seem unreal
See I’m a heretic; folks swear I’m sick
They have faith cause they inherit it
From relatives that wasn’t aware of shit
Like the world is round, but they swear by it
Wise people rebel
Heretics and Infidels
Atheist and heathens
Not much to believe
So we’ve been damned to hell
I’ll be your… infidel
I’ll be your… infidel
I’ll be your… infidel
I’ll be your… infidel
I’ll be your heartless, godless, atheist scum
I’m honest enough to say where I’m from
If you pray and wait for your God to come
And save you from the slum you gone stay a bum
Y’all superstitious, victims of vicious fears
That gripped us through all these years
Just to persevere we had to feel near
To a power greater than natures laws
And to understand what makes a man
Is to understand who made the gods
Science and religion stay at odds
So I’m defiant, relying on science
For guidance cause gravities actually
Grabbing me, not magically, it’s doing it physically
Some rather base they life on mysteries
I’d rather learn in turn from our histories
Hook:
We feared our mortality but gradually we learn
Reality and turn from superstitions to sanity
We learn anatomy and pathology
We learn the world and we think logically
We know now that sickness ain’t caused by spirits
We know that things have a cause and effect
We know you only give birth through sex
And not from virgins,
Now were so numb we don’t know we hurting
Fuck a faith healing drugs be working
And when we die we just turn to dirt and
One thing I’m certain of life’s uncertain
So why cry to a guy in the sky
If he loves us why should the children die?
If he’s real why would he avoid our eyes?
If he’s perfect why would make us so stupid?
So pray for me cause I’m not gonna do it
àIf it don’t talk back then I won’t talk to it
I read the bible twice all the way through it
I’m true but not Muslim, Christian nor Jewish
So pray for me if y’all think that I need it
I’m a rat-bastard blasphemous heathen
I’m seeing neither Allah nor your Jesus
At all, I just don’t have much to believe in
