Icons of Filth

A Measure Of Insecurity

God is a measure of our own insecurity

God is used as an incentive for us to kill

To protect governments own security

Security of their wealth and power and legalised crime

The myth of god keeps us all in line

To beg for forgiveness from something unreal, not there

God is a con, god cannot care

War’s alright cos god justifies it

But does god say this, does god exist?

Or is god a lie used in governments piss?

The voice of god is really the sound of government

Masses have and will die for this great myth

...Yet we’ll still take the brunt

God is a measure of our own insecurity

We want life after death

We are so afraid that we may be ‘alone’

And that the responsibility of past, present and future

Lies with us alone

Well, it does. And accept it we must

We must let our minds be free

And decide what is right or wrong individually

You see, this means realising our moulded stupidity

Religion plays a big part in the mind f**king process

We are all subjected to from an early age. Is it not

Convenient that the Christian morality suits so

marriage

Like the requirements of the state? These ethics are

Forced upon us at school. We are given no time to

Question. And by the time we reach a stage where we are

Quite capable of knowing perfectly well what we want,

we

Already firmly believe we want what we are told. This

Indoctrination thus leaves us in later life with

lessened

Self belief and self determination. Surely it is time

Enough for us all to question our own thoughts and

Actions and decide for ourselves what we think is right

Or wrong?... Individually.
