lyrics

Aeons ago
From beginnings of all time
All life has evolved
By fates grand design

A tangled web of dissent
Has bred modern man
For the waging of wars
Over blood and sand

A defect in the minds
Of those who fall in line
To destroy fellow man
And never question why

Theocracy to captivate
Ruthless rulers subjugate
A primal reign inside our minds
As punishment for all mankind

Enslaved by nothing but figments
Of our own imagination
We realize what we've left behind
A legacy of desolation

2,000 years have passed
Since the fateful blaze began
Knowledge unsurpassed
Has been lost to the hate of man

Hiding behind the mask of progress
Such are the messengers of God
To enlighten all who stand before them
And wage a fictional jihad

"Blasphemous traitors must be put to the sword
Burn the tomes that mislead and confound
Such knowledge is a burden in the eyes of the lord
We must burn it all down to the ground"

Self deceit driving the spirit of man
Into heinous acts of violence
To destroy based on race and creed
Drawing lines to divide us

The curse of humanity
Imbued with potential to create
Consumed with such vanity
Leaving only destruction in our wake

We've reshaped our natural geography
We hold the power to make the stars fall from the sky
But in our masochistic way
Our race will be the first to die

We hold the potential for progress
And cast it all aside
In search of an afterlife
That eternity has denied

Aeons ago
From beginnings of all time
All life has evolved
By fates grand design

A tangled web of dissent
Has bred modern man
For the waging of wars
Over blood and sand

"Now, though meek and blind
We march side by side
Towards the divine
The stars have aligned
To proclaim we've arrived
On the other side"

Theocracy to captivate
Ruthless rulers subjugate
A primal reign inside our minds
As punishment for all mankind

Enslaved by nothing but figments
Of our own imagination
We realize what we've left behind
A legacy of desolation
