lyrics

Captive of dogma
Conviction, unshakable
Unaware how their mantras
Clearly lead you astray

Decree from heaven
The mountain, unmerciful
Will eclipse all inner light
Leaving our hearts in bitter darkness
A sickness of our world
Our love benighted
In nightmares of our own design

The silent voice
A whisper from within
Illusively clouding the eyes of our humanity

“Submit! Obey! Assimilate!”

Faith so immutable
No thought that contradicts tradition
Can flourish within these archaic rituals
While malice justified by an old, pernicious lie survives

Purity, a narrow ideology
Toe the line or face the wrath of stigma
While malice justified by an old, pernicious lie remains alive

Echoes of prejudice fester in our bones
A global plague is threatening our survival

Caustic animosity permeates
Settling deep within our marrow
Hate, shallow and inane, instigates
Causing us to crucify those of our own blood

Passed down intolerance takes control
Ignorant to why these thoughts have become your own
Lost in the tempest of your fear
Surrounded by mirrors you blindly thrust
A dagger right into your own heart
All our hearts

As you drift away
The painful truth remains
Murdered by your lack of affinity
