By Sinister Means

about

I wrote this walking the streets of Amman, Jordan

lyrics

Once upon a time
There was no science to explain the mysteries
Primitive minds formulated explanations
Based upon what they could see
Down through the ages fable morphed into sick religion
Imparting authority to sages
With the power to control the free
By sinister means
Drowning women in the name of their god
And burning people at the stake

There are changes coming
Enlightenment is inevitable, you’ll see
Science has provided us the means
To awaken from this primitive dream
Of gods and golems; of witches and sin
Of industrious demons with conniving whims
Still zealots threaten torture if you don't believe
To be enforced by sinister means
Jihads and Crusades are both vile extremes

We are living in the time of fact-checked
Peer-reviewed analysis
No longer can one man claim to know
What I am not allowed to understand
By divine inspiration
We can see through the evident fallacies
Past the manufactured claims to know all things
As the superstitious proselytize the canons
Of their misguided faith

We turn to the tenants of reason
We know there is always more to learn
Regardless what the preacher says
I have undying hope for Man

Preacher says that I was full of sin when I was born
Gonna burn in Hell with the wicked and forlorn
Only he can save me with the magic of his god
But first I gotta pay

And to those who terrify children
With the threat of burning in Hell
That is sadistic, evil child abuse
You are wicked and sick, there is NO excuse!

You have burned your witches
You have unleashed the soldiers of your Crusades
You can pass Shiria Law
They are each and all the same
Just sinister means to an end of freedom
In the name of god, by sinister means
