Awakening

from SIMPLE TRUTH by GREGORY

/

lyrics

In these ancient fictions, I can no longer believe

No memories of a past life
No indications of sorrow or mirth
I posit nothing before my birth
And so I love this life with a fervent passion

Infinity scrolled out before me
In natural perfection
No need of religion’s ambiguity
Time to forgo these depraved superstitions

Time for us to realize
We are wonderful
Despite the lies
We have no need for deception
Or fairy-tales or truth belied

No more killing over fables

I need no fear of punishment
To instill a sense of morals
No threat of burning Hell to live well
I don’t believe in your gods
And I don’t need you to save me

I choose nature’s symmetry over gruesome canonized poetry

Science has dispelled the make-believe
And bestowed a grander mystery
Disciples explain it away with their illusory Bronze Age deities
But any intelligent person can see
The natural world is enough for me
Time to shed these fantasies
And so I usher in this awakening

Thank God for rational minds
In these ancient fictions, I can no longer believe
Just open your eyes and see
We have but one chance to live, so live well
