I wrote lyrics to a new song tonight... it's about "holy violence" or people hurting and killing each other because of differing beliefs... pretty brutal as far as wording is concerned and I am going to post it for you folks but here is my disclaimer: I am not opposed to religion, I am opposed to violence by any means, and I do not believe that the Gods that violently religious people believe truly exist as the same God that those people worship. SO the song is about violence, not speaking against religion... here goes... p.s. the bridge is not written yet so this is not a complete work and I wrote it in like 10 minutes like I always do:

Asceticism of the Proletariats
A necessary evil
For a temporary good
Oh brothers aid me now
How hideous the weak become
For truths remaining misunderstood

The incarnate of the pain that weve been forced to endure
We wound the flesh, we offer death
So that our God creates us a cure

But they bear resemblance to our brothers, share our names
We bury shame with our denial fueled by faith
And still so cruelly our catastrophe reveals
So much more blood to shed, before our wounds can heal

We bear no mark
(WE STAND IN FEAR)
We are our Gods
(WHEN HATES DRAWN NEAR)
We claim our faith
(BUT WE LUST FOR BLOOD)
Our God is dead
(SO WE KILL ON)
In our own name

We stand atop this barren waste
Weve pried from hands of fallen faiths
Lain to waist the weak with such grace
But no ones left to hear his name

Weve scorched the earth and burned the bodies of those we came to save
And now it seems that our God was the pride of digging graves

And so our books will die with us
And so our truths will die with us
And the fact remains that weve served no purpose but our own

We bear no mark
(WE STAND IN FEAR)
We are our Gods
(WHEN HATES DRAWN NEAR)
We claim our faith
(BUT WE LUST FOR BLOOD)
Our God is dead
(SO WE KILL ON)
In our own name
