Lyrics: Brennand

I walked that line myself
The one that forced me to close my eyes
Rather than investigate
I’m free but you’re still blind

Solace in your servitude
Faith in your lack of judgement
Every day you kiss that cross
Is another day you destroy your reason

Is this live oh so bad
To warrant a postulation
Of a nonexistent sphere
Of peaceful bliss and false salvation

This world deserves much more than that
And our lives are worth much more than to
Give them up for some intangible god fairy tale
Future life destroying the present day by day by day

The more man puts into God the less he reserves for himself
And I know it’s difficult to watch childhood fables die
But everything is dying as we speak
And Sunday visits and nightly prayers won’t mean a fuck in the end

What it all boils down to is what matters more
The reality of this world or some deluded dream
So instead we try where reason’s needed most
I follow not the selfish path of salvation

Now the time has come once and for all
To free ourselves from the lies we’ve clung to
A new dawn of temperance and reason
Based on empirical truths, not grand narratives

Awakened form our dogmatic slumber finding beauty in an earth
That’s free from an artisan
A privileged primate finding our place in life fulfilled
Complete, and fully responsible for themselves

I vow to never follow false chronicles of a hollow god
My divinity, my salvation, lies in this world that I love

Burn every shrine
Smash every altar
Erase the facade from existence
Posit yourself as your own deity
And posit this earth as its own temple

No gods, no masters
