lyrics

Excuse me how dare I suggest
Propose to take your sacred soul in jest
Because of what I've seen contrary to your word
You can't stand out in a believer's herd

If your life is spent striving to be perfect
Clean and innocent sinless morality in effect
You might as well give up the ghost while you can
Turn your foggy discipled head from the healing hand

A drop of water turns to blood in your book
A thousand men drown in shallows in your book
People died because they lied in your book
But was it real is it real in your book?

A man confronted me about my false wisdom
That i should dismiss mine and enter his kingdom
I said it's not the ideals or the logic which repels
It's the source of your truth which I dispell

He offered me his help to cast the demons out of me
To rid myself of what I was not allowed to see
It seems I was proud of my earthly science book
But to reject his king all it took was just one look

An evil serpent gets his way in your book
A jealous angel thrown to hell in your book
A man dies and comes back in your book
But was it real is it real in your book?
