Bible Black Lyrics

this curse, lift it from me
every word and every page, dripping disease
hypocrisy, internally contradictory
this is the doctrine of the deceived

were we born in the wrong time?
In the wrong state of mind?
damned with the powers to discern wrong from right?
to turn away from the herd and cast the scriptures aside?

bound in human fear, inked in our own blood
engraved in our culture, stigma poisons our thoughts
and the result is a people who depend on the Church
the blind are leading the blind with moral guidance their crutch

this is truly the holy book of the living dead
I feel compelled to atonement for every page I've read
this is truly the source from which all hatred is fed
the most divisive and ignorant text I've ever read

incest, sacrifice, animal and human alike
prostitution, false prophesy, truth made into a mockery
sexism and phobia, lies against science and history
mass genocide and racial pride, all within these pages lie

in the bible black (a plagiarized text)
the bible black (a bloodletting fest)
a plagairized text (the curse of an age)
a bloodletting fest (and we all must be saved)
we have all been force-fed (the lies we’ve been fed)
your humanity is bled (from the book of the dead)
by the bible black (the bible black)
by the bible black (the bible black)

burn the book, dissect the lie
cut the head off from the serpent and the serpent dies
break the chains, the serpent will speak no more
trace the evil of Christianity to it's source

this ethically bankrupt manifesto of more than dubious authorship
this discredited composition, I refuse the poisoned word it gives
for those who've turned off their own instinct for what is right and what is wrong
you're a danger to yourself and others, and in this world you don't belong

this divine conglomerate of conflicting values which confounds only, not confirms
this ghost-authored text from disassociated imposters, teaches not, only unlearns
for those who've denied their sovereign right: be your own judge, rule your own life
you're a failure for a human being, and in this world you won't survive

this curse, lift it from me
every word and every page, dripping disease
hypocrisy, internally contradictory
this is the doctrine of the deceived
bound in human fear, inked in our own blood
engraved in our culture, stigma poisons our thoughts
and the result is a people who depend on the Church
the blind are leading the blind with moral guidance their crutch
uproot the chains of false upbringing, we ask for more
than the father, son, spirit and the blessed whore

it's the curse of an age
and we all must be saved
