lyrics

Let’s begin with the first sign of religions ill effects/ early Mesopotamia with the Epic of Gilgamesh/ Stories of gods who flood the Earth as killers/ wrath on the population, does it sound familiar/ A man named Abram hears the story and moves away/ settles in another land where he knew the way/ His presence felt by all his descendants/ Sections of the Epic become Noahs story as lessons/ Meanwhile the Egyptians had made their own religion/ thousands of gods, not a single contradiction/ 500 years after all the Jews were taken captive/ their firstborns were killed, others tortured by famine/ Now they praised their god for this natural occurrence/ hurt many persons to be put into his service/ On a righteous path to try to get it right/ so they genocided and killed all the Amalekites/ Hinduism formed with a polytheistic description/ and created the Vedas, the longest religious text ever written/ Thousands of pages with over a million inscriptions/ many came together to make a more intricate vision/ Moving onto the gods created by the Greeks and Romans/ epics and Odysseys written by Socrates and Homer/ Ignited violence decided when cultures collided/ Herod killed babies, later aided by Pilate/ Crucifixion of Jesus because of his newer vision/ led to a powerful split within Judaism/ The disciples preached his message throughout almost every land/ but the Gospels were written decades later secondhand/ the church was founded on this so called indivisible force/ but almost none of them came from an original source/ Wondrous, because of their Christian covenant/ they were killed on sight by the Roman government/ Few deterred, they believed in the birth by a virgin/ which Constantine saw as a connection and converted/ In between matches and attackin shit/ the Vikings and Mongols made their own practices/ Even Native Americans were praying for a benefit/ Many gods of nature had always set the precedent/ But the Aztecs heard the gods, their stomachs growlin/ thunder soundin meant they started sacrificin thousands/ Enter Muhammed the prophet of proper Islamic/ concoctions which started some diabolical problems/ Through conversion they spread where they were searchin/ but were soon divided by Egyptian and Turkish/ In 1095 God needed warriors, he chooses some/ They killed whole villages of Jews on the way to Jerusalem/ Hate and arms brought by the Crusader army/ hardly any Arabs were spared by their strongest posses/ Tens of thousands slaughtered by burning down cities/ pity was not with Christians during this history/ And this spread global with over 9 Crusades total/ focal point of all, the fall of Constantinople/ 6,000 European children, all lost to the wilderness/ because the Pope thought theyd be protected by their innocence/ Simple pages of history skip over the Middle Ages/ it left the European population in killer anguish/ Science was hindered by ancient biblical texts/ no one even believed that the earth was round yet/ The church gained control within a simple position/ decisions started to begin the mass Inquisitions/ Slaughtered endlessly, tortured for centuries/ all across Europe with no ending release/ any enemy of the Vatican or nonbeliever of Christ/ would be stabbed again, cut up and sliced/ The Black Death spread now throughout the mid-1300s/ It was thought of as a righteous Gods justice/ Church people rushed over as soon as the symptoms presented/ so Christian and Islamic priests were the first people infected/ Simpletons thought theyd be saved by the innocence/ as the disease consumed them and they prayed for deliverance/ The Plague ended and the rebuilding process began/ but once again the foundation was set firmly on sand/ The walls around the Vatican grew and got thicker/ they began hiring priests who didn’t even study the Scripture/ The sickness brought a severe shortage of ministers/ these new recruits injured the church by being evil and sinister/ Henry VIII wanted a son for all of life, as often he tried/ so he tried to find out why he couldn’t by divorcing his wife/ In vain again he asked the Pope to change it then/ but he didn’t so to abstain from sin he became an Anglican/ the exact same church, with the allowance of divorce/ thought it was righteous, giving him control over the courts/ When people landed in America, they had their first interaction/ with people they condemned to inferior for not being Catholic/ attacked them, made them slaves with their straps in/ unmatched for power, America became an attraction/ The Puritans formed a colony just so they could practice/ being role models without French Calvinist distraction/ It was Imperative the Puritans burned all Heretics/ hundreds burned alive in Salem for refusing penitence/ For over a hundred years war was raging in Europe/ over 11 million dead, only from this one sure cut/ Separation of the eventful presentations, estimated/ that this hatred stemmed from the German Reformation/ All while Bishops demanded from peasants every penny that they owned/ just so they could take out an indulgence on their soul/ Now the American immigrants are calling themselves civilians/ which led to the massacre of many millions of Indians/ The war between Muslims sects were still going on/ massacres between Christians, still going strong/ The government issued a word of caution to the Mormons/ made them leave their land, through guns and extortion/ Its especially sad that so much death exceptionally/ has been caused by religion in the 20th century/ Fuck em, corruption at this level is abundant/ the Christian Armenians genocided by the Turkish Muslims/ Wailing in fear as they died in the sand near/ almost comparable to the American Trail of Tears/ Millions of Armenians wiped out in a few short years/ all because of religion, as should be often clear/ To some six million Jews, it seemed all was lost/ Hitler bent on eradicating them all during the Holocaust/ Whatever it takes, he said he was cleansing the state/ millions burned alive simply because of their faith/ Here it is again in the clearest sense/ thousands more subjected to medical experiments/ Then the war ended, we thought we’d make laws better/ but then Israel was formed simply because of more pressure/ Exceptionally true, almost no true difference between Arabs and Jews/ except when the Palestinians were attacked and then had to be moved/ It has me confused, these are things religion can actually do/ that was 1949 and till this day they’re having a feud/ Backtrack a bit to around 1947/ Hindus genocided for those looking to heaven/ Take lessons, as now these issues mentioned are still a presence/ Muslim extremists doing the work of God on 9/11/ Power spills as the world is being devoured still/ that day alone because of faith, there were thousands killed/ Its all fiction and wrong fakes, missin the point played/ as another 86 are killed by an extremist Christian in Norway/ Even today in Islam, women are stoned and beheaded/ people killing off sects just for their little pieces of heaven/ Priests stand on the altar, praising Jesus and smile great/ by next Sunday, they’re facing a few charges of child rape/ Picking and choosing certain holy book passages/ religion the only reason we still don’t have gay marriages/ Religion is nothing, just another empty shell/ ask yourself If you’d still follow without any threats of hell/ Religion has killed more humans than any other invention/ religion realizes that fear is its most powerful weapon/ Be free in the scheme of things, use logic and reasoning/ turn to YOURSELF if you ever see resolve weakening/ Besides, it’s clear to me that no God exists/ cause if he does, he’s one evil son of a bitch/
