Smear Campaign

[Music: Embury, Lyrics: Greenway] 


Though we later may walk 
In a valley in a shadow of death 
What should we logically fear? 
Perhaps the complacent urge for a deity 
To make us whole and guide us through 
To fulfil an image that is cloudy at best 


Where was the help previously 
When appeals went unheard? 
Huge effort expended in devotion 
For nothing in return 
Grimly clinging, predetermined 
To prop up an image that is cloudy at best 
Resigned rigid, predetermined 
To covet a vision that is forced on the rest 


Life becomes an exercise in cutting down your options 
Existing becomes a joyless parade to the end 


Life becomes a platform from which to attack free thought 
Existing becomes a prison where self-discovery's forbidden 


The fatalist 


Any fool starting afresh would surely ditch this 
After two-thousand years of schism 
Only irreligious hearts can do the saving
