Humanity's Poison

Sacred words etched in stone These holy carvings engraved upon humanity The burning belief leaves its mark Division is born to bring about unity A Dystopia disguised as an Ethiopia arises Empty promises made Retribution demanded Damaged lives fallen in the name of "God" Freedom shackled by the belief of hope; To not feel alone, nations crumble To not feel lost, millions slaughtered To not feel weak, power is corrupted Demons disguised as angels preach An evil so ignorant it's innocent A belief so strong it becomes reality A hate so strong, that love fades away Alas, this is the tale of a terrible poison A poison that was once a sacred elixir A poison that has engulfed the world A poison so potent that not even death can cure it; This is the poison of Religion
