Lyrics
Searching out your truth, you may die.
The path you choose, many(Holywars) paths to the same source.
Called many names, different semantics, how can so much hatred stem from this.
Countries and families torn apart. Label your Deity and move on.
Preacher man looks to the sky, and questions his faith.
A man strikes down his brother, enraged and empowered to kill.
The man dressed in black leaves his holy shrine, too many questions unanswered.
Doubt starts to set in, bleak future focus. Have I done enough to ensure my place in heaven!
Instilled at birth is it right for me, someone must be right?
How can so many be doomed to hell? To hell?!
Televangelist man asks for pledges to maintain his lifestyle.
Holy man not wanting to die to see the light.
A history of death and hatred, used as a reason to kill. Exodus to find safety in Israel,
or was it meant to be heaven? Upholding the Scripture from a history of edification, of blind faith, and editing the text when it no longer applies. Condemnation of other factions damned to hell.
Sending corruptive energy to alter the actions and thoughts of their neighbours.
Instructions given nightly to their gods, to do their bidding as so desired.
Closing of both eyes and minds, to disallow rival beliefs.
Turning a blind eye to the sex and violence crimes, in the clergy.
Abstinence just a rule to be broken.
Self righteous believers, belittling the so called sinners.
