Moment of Doubt

Here it is again the moment of doubt It's the only faith I can't do without Survived the brainwash, I was shameless throughout We've all been screwed by the truly devout I scorn the word, I must confess Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness No ancient fiction, soothes my despair No righteous judgment, pretending to care No second coming, no useless prayer So many yesterdays I did fail the test Like Dr Pangloss I know it's for the best So many times I should have known but I guessed My daily bread is a continuous quest I scorn the word, I must confess Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness No ancient fiction, soothes my despair No fearsome phantoms, no angels' lair Now is eternity... bow to infinity... sure as uncertainty... pure as hypocrisy Forever more... always the war... we all keep score...'til time slams the door Take the last dance... no second chance... vultures romance... shadows advance Here I am somehow in spite of it all Fired down the barrel on a cannonball Yes gravity will soon decide how I fall No fear today no savior I can call I scorn the word, I must confess Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness No ancient fiction, soothes my despair No second coming, no useless prayer
