Secular Saw

Belief that's cast in iron Your tenets carved in stone Those tablets of the highest law Are just books of blood and bone Your chains of superstition Growing rusty from the doubt Suspicion revs your engine Is this what life's about? Rip through the reverence Cut through the noise Scientific severance For all the girls and boys It's the power and the glory That blinds us to their flaws We'll cut you from the prison of religious law It's that Hoodoo that you do That leads you to crawl Dismantle your deity with the secular saw The blade is sharp as reason It's powered by science It grinds up your bigotry It won't stand for violence Sever their stories, bisect the lies Cleave off the guilt and detach the rites Removing the limbs of a shaman's control It shatters the fetters they put onto your soul Break through the violence Smash through, roll back the rock Complying with the silence As they prey on their flock I'd really like to buy one I hear you bravely ask It's waiting in your temple It's hidden at the back of mass And it's free if you should want it Just search inside your mosque First you question your dogma Then you just cut it off It's not you, they didn't ask you for permission It's fine to resign Patriarchy, violent misanthropy Ideas had their time
