about

(Dedicated to the late, brilliant, and most rational thinker of our time, Christopher Hitchens)

lyrics

(Commentary by the late Christopher Hitchens, RIP ha ha ha)

And in the aftermath we shared the poisoned spoils
Like brothers in arms
Pillaging through the intellectual dregs
We compiled the reasons to do no further harm

But alas we are bound by what we currently know
And the conquests of Reason displace the fears below
The waterline of understanding, even as we grow
We are not the first to contemplate the end
We can never know everything
On this we can all agree

Christ has fostered ages of forced banality
Enlightenment snuffed out by church sanctioned brutality
Religion is anathema to everything we are
And a hindrance to all we can achieve
When the Ten Commandments promote insidious slavery
What further proof do you need?
A morally bankrupt theology
This Christiansanity

And in the final days we realized how much we had lost
To wasted time, killing over fairy-tales, justified by unseen gods

Postulates to reconstruct mythology and lore
To accommodate new discoveries
Insights proscribed by their incipient theology
Forbidding technology
To explain the Universe around us
And everything that doesn't fit their faulty history
We will never know everything
On this we can all agree

I do not believe in vicarious redemption
In murdering another man for my sins
Bronze Age dogma begets righteous indignation
We can no longer pretend

And at the End of Days we realized how much it had cost
By manufacturing jealous gods

If you choose to believe the impossible
Your faith is clearly not for me
There are no miracles in what you have seen
Only new science yet to glean

And now once again we arrive at this awkward place
Face to face with a lie
Change is occurring at a dubious pace
And only the Truth will survive
We are on the cusp of and logical and intelligent decree
Our most rational epiphany:
There never was a god and we were always free

We can no longer tolerate the incivility
To kill in the name of mythology

We will never know everything
On this we all can agree
