Opiate the Masses

Spit sacrilege

Blasphemous breath remains accurate

Context of text lost its core concepts

Who speaks our truth?

Convicts or prophets?

Must maintain logic

Who murdered Gnostics?

Fevered mind's slip

Vision off axis

Knowledge kept backwards

Through iris refracted

Light formed of darkness

Sacrifice offered

Throat slit on altar

For teaching these paupers

Falsehoods fostered force us to react

Blind faith forms fanatical combat

Speech figured deep as the learned adapt

Papal armies poised for attack, well in fact...

Your precious books written by hands of human

This Christian Jihad will bleed the poor man

Beliefs and ideas can't stand congruent

Morality myths kept the common mind ruined

Chorus:

Opiate masses

Knowledge kept backwards

Religion organized gave rise to ill factors:

Genocide from Genesis to last chapter

Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black(er)

Manipulated mental

Misguided myths

You pray to crossed sticks and nails through each wrist

Discard that true gift

Truth still elusive

Illusions used to strip strength from last human

Past omen's looming

Awake the dead

Misread basic meaning, best left unsaid

What sanity?

Sift though soul hold to thread

Did missionaries wield swords or break bread?

Your holy books only increase bloodshed

Those holy books only increase bloodshed

From first moments they moved to subdue populace

Pagan beliefs interweave to form doctrine

Ironic when you speak of heresy

These priests can't even see their own diseased fraternity

So fuck that sour wine and stale wafer

Your pale portrait of a hippie could never be my savior

Chorus:

Opiate masses

Knowledge kept backwards

Religion organized gave rise to ill factors:

Genocide from Genesis to last chapter

Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black(er)

Bridge:

The role of religion in the domination and the destruction

Of African civilization

Is so shameful...

No matter how you look at it, the picture is negative

Because all of them did more harm than good

All of them made their God.... Ungodly

Chorus:

Opiate masses

Knowledge kept backwards

Religion organized gave rise to ill factors:

Genocide from Genesis to last chapter

Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black
