Conflating fallacious idioms into a single rotten seed
To germinate between the rhymes that foster hate and greed
Will putrefy the essence of the here and now we see
With gratuitous claims of certainty concerning hoax realities
False prophets with their broken scriptures
Invigorate the whore
That is the promise of salvation
Married with the appetite for Holy War
Traumatizing Innocent minds with fables
Of flocks of raping angels sating carnal need
Proselytizing heretics enable
Fractured moral tangles of violence and greed
Oh, let us pray
For the capacity to reason
To dispense with the make-believe
Once and for all time
And let us give thanks
For the bounty of our intellect
Which frees us from superstitious hate
The surrender of reason
Is not the way to go
1,600 years of Dark Ages
It's time to let god go
Accreting caustic dogma to support this travesty
Laden with myopic nonsensical historicity
Is an attempt to sway the masses
As did the primitive Pharisees
To assuage the anger of their unseen jealous deities
It is time to forgo
The strictures of religion
That have limited our growth
With painful inquisition
Give us commandments for reason
Belief in prosperity
A call to intellectual arms
A doctrine of equality
Oh, let us pray
For the total End of Religion
A hail to common sense
To respect and decency
And let us give thanks
That we are striving toward understanding
Let us open our eyes
To the truths of reality
Rejoice that we live in enlightened times!
Religion is broken
A stagnant episode
It's time to shed this filthy yoke
It's time to let god go
Let god go!
The surrender of reason
Is not the way to go
1,600 years of Dark Ages
It's time to let god go!
