Faith Junkies Lyrics

THEY ARE THE PRIVILEGED FEW
WHO WON THE LOTTERY OF BIRTH
YET SPEAK OF THINGS UNTRUE
BEYOND THIS LIFE ON EARTH
HOPE OF AN AFTERLIFE
WHERE JUSTICE SHALL BE DONE
AN ETERNAL PARADISE
EMBRACED BY THE HOLY ONE

AS THEY DRAW THEIR FINAL BREATH
NOTHING AWAITS THEM BUT THEIR DEATH
BLACKNESS SO VAST AND UNFORGIVING
NOTHING THRIVING, NOTHING LIVING

THE SOUL WON'T SURVIVE THE DECAY OF THE BRAIN
IN DEATH THERE WILL BE NEITHER PLEASURE NOR PAIN
THEIR BODIES ARE ROTTING, FROM LIFE THEY ARE TORN
COMPLETE NOTHINGNESS AS BEFORE THEY WERE BORN

FAITH JUNKIES FAILING TO SEE
THE VAST RIDDLE THAT IS LIFE
FAITH JUNKIES APPEARING TO BE
LIVING UNDER GOD'S KNIFE
HOLY SCRIPTURE SEEN AS TRUTH
SCIENCE AS THE GREAT LIE
VAIN HOPE OF ETERNAL YOUTH
BODY AND SOUL WILL SURELY DIE

AS THEY DRAW THEIR FINAL BREATH
ONLY DEATH! ONLY DEATH!
AS THEY DRAW THEIR FINAL BREATH
DEATH!
