Sightless

Live as he lived, suffer as he did

Feast upon these lies like a peasant fed ambrosia

A leech on the wound, verminous knowledge unfiltered yet still consumed

Persecute those who have denied, escaped, exposed this divine prison

Worship he who embraced the wrongdoers; become an arbiter of the noble

Teach humility and practice arrogance

Praise peace and annihilate the wicked

A sheltered life insured by blind faith

This policy defined by the interpretations of your clergy

Bringers of truth or a deceitful disease?

Construct this your pedestal-- high upon it you rest

Deluded from the moniker "sinner"

The blind lead the blind into the depths of an exit-less pit

Suffer as he did

Suffer for your god

Shunned from the diversity of the light

Cast down to be shackled by vague prophecies

You've taken false hope and enforced it on the free

Suffer as he did

Suffer for your god

You've sheltered your eyes from the sun and become blind

Saved from your sins by your effortless conviction

Ask for forgiveness so thou can be cleansed, now able to look down upon the miscreants

Praise your idol, praise your church, praise your priest

You will always be sightless

You believe he died for you, but would you suffer for him?

Through the centuries you have fallen from your grace

Created senseless violence from a prophecy of peace

Forged a cult religion with a focus on true greed

Become so diseased you can never be freed

Hierarchies of insolence control the flock of sheep

Sinners turn to preachers then to spreaders of disease

The bodies of the dead build your towers to the sky

A good word turned to poison by your infinite lies

Sightless
