I oft feel that I'm alone in the dark
with nothing but blind faith guiding my way.
Yet, I reject religions and their Gods,
I don't need a ceremony to pray.
I believe in spirituality,
death's not the end of life; it's part of it.
But religion focuses upon sin
and damnation to get souls to submit.
God doesn't liquefy a dead saint's blood
or cause porcelain statues to drink milk.
But religious leaders pretend He does,
adorning their icons with gold and silk.
I believe the human soul cannot die,
yet religion spews an obvious lie.
