lyrics

Behind the churches there lies an empty grave

For every heathen that chose to misbehave

For absolution within forgiving eyes

To forgive the vile sin of asking why

Why is it worth it…to give up everything?

To surrender to every single verse they say

You know what lies within, and it’s not worth the cost

And like these victims, you’ll always end up feeling lost

Yes, I know these sins are a part of me

No god, church, or feeble need to plea

With the innocence of self now realized-

By god’s own words they say … you are victimized

Within the chains of the religious kind

Do you worship for safety or for peace of mind?

You know what lies within, and it’s not worth this shit

Within your pain is the god we know

So I’ll keep on pushing – hopeless, all alone

Fighting and dividing every practice they condone

Make no celebration, there’s no winner in these eyes

Between the state-religion the human race is victimized

Now there’s no hope, no surprise

With the whole human race victimized

More cross-stations bleeding in my eyes

Jesus killed – and so – we’re victimized
