lyrics

Rip me to pieces and tear me to shreds
I won’t leave this alone ‘till I’m dead
Pull me apart at the seams and release
The anger I hold that is so dear to me

Life is too long to be optimistic

Hung on a cross for all to see
I’ll have your master serving me
Arise unscathed from the debris
Of wars made just by prophecy
Of empty lives – clean, steralised
We vomit bile, heave it dry
The globe is choking with disease
But ancient scriptures justify

We cough
We choke
They steralise the strychnine smoke
The globe is choking with disease
But ancient scriptures justify
We vomit bile, heave it dry
We vomit bile, heave it dry

You’re ruining the planet and your logic is feeble
Your religion’s a crutch and it justifies evil

Strife born from faith
Philosophies misplaced
Greasing up the gears
Of prejudice and fear
Shed the veil of belief
My vision of God disappears
We’re all alone here

Routine become the wretched lies
As viraly we multiply
And choke our host, blacken the sky
In nuclear winter we decide
Even the fittest won’t survive
Turn back, resist, while there’s still time
