Get off your knees
Take off your veil
The wine is wine and

The bread is bread.
Quit talking to the clouds
You only look like a fool.
Stars are unanswered prayers,
Infinite and unending.
We cling to beliefs while the truth gnaws at us.
Never close your mind around one thing
So that it cannot open.
Technology advances, but we do not.
We need an answer for everything,
But sometimes there are none,
So we turn to fairy tales for comfort.
Religion is a man-made reason to argue,
A vague, empty thing to defend.
A justification of hate.
We like to believe in things that have no value
Like angels and prophets.
How many men have died
In the name of imaginary men?
How many men have died in vain
For imaginary men?
Get off your knees,
It's the position of a whore, not a saint.
