Chains of Virtue Lyrics

But what are religions other than shackles
With which the stronger wants to bind the weak?
With this intention the stronger asserted
That a god had forged these chains of virtue

Religions are truly nothing but trammels
With which the stronger wants to bind the weak
The stronger utilize these chains of virtue
Lies obscure the rotten reek

Separation of cultures, rupture of what should be one
See the vultures circling around emergent carrion
Tin gods, idols, I can't see any value in them
The river of time devours every creation

I see the masses following blindly
A leader who does not exist
I see their inner void expanding
In a vain attempt to resist

Neither any persuasion is persistent
Nor any regime or the existence
Many men fall into deep despair
As they conceive this nightmare

Mysteries - that make the sane mind shudder
Dogmas - that offend the nature itself
Grotesque ceremonies – that only disgust
Break these chains, let them decay to dust

I see the masses following blindly
A leader who does not exist
I see their inner void expanding
In a vain attempt to resist
