Faith

Beat me into submission with your cross

Preach to me of pain and loss

Sit and pray for my soul

Control your only goal

I am evil…you are pure

How can we be sure

Make me confess sins I did not commit

Stop underestimating my wit

I know the truth others are afraid to see

I see past the man you pretend to be

Slander those who try to fight

Push them from man-made light

In the darkness the true light shines

For those who realize the signs

Religion is man and faith is God

Break free from the mindless pod

Let the truth set you free

Open your eyes and truly see
