"Christianity came into existence in order to lighten the heart; but now it has first to burden the heart so as afterwards to be able to lighten it. Consequently it shall perish" [Friedrich Nietzsche] As the symbols of the metaphysics of the hangman are taken off the walls of our living rooms Humanity emancipates Christ statues fall and die of age Just like us: in/organic decay The myths of the martyrs have waned No longer do we mourn their loss Their children dance and play their games In the shadow of the great old white cross Wealth heals all wounds and alleviates any kind of pain The shroud of collective oblivion coats any individual scars The widows of the skepticals have passed away before they could retaliate And those who baptised the world with the sword have long been buried And have not arisen from their graves The guardians of righteousness have lost their immaculity The rise of the enlightenment has defeated Christianity But its legacy of submissiveness prevails in many brave man's heart and soul: The saddening conception that humanity cannot choose its own destiny With our lives based on the hope for salvation The humanist paradigm is nothing but a charade Condemned to inertia: a passive race We wait and contemplate And even in these days and age some people still believe That Earth is at the center of God's own universe Letras de cancionesAnd that man was made the 7th day, evolution is a myth And that even bones of ancient creatures are no evidence of the fact that we are not the end of the chain And they wont leave their ship That is sinking They refuse to leave their ship And while they spoke of grace and love, forgiveness from above They nailed thousands of non-believers to their crude symbol of love The myth that man is the crown of God's creation Breeds the excuse to deplete the Earth today The myth that man is the crown of God's creation Supports our present anthropocentric misconception From Letras Mania
