Lavation

He's laying face down on the ground
His last thoughts are searching for a light that's not to be found
The only sound he can hear is that distant thunder
While he drowned in his own blood he wondered where his mom was
She's crying as she clutches her cross
It's just about the only thing she has to comfort her loss
Across the street, the troops boots march to the beat
The drums come with the gunfire, tanks and heat

I wonder-
What if there was no religion?
What if there were no debate?
What would we kill for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
What if there was no division?
What if we said no to faith?
What would we die for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"

Now read the writing smeared on the wall
It's scripted in blood
Been several thousand years in the squall
The fall, The son, our father, and the holy gun
Begun first with Osiris- then it spread like a virus
So Kamikaze pilot the plane
Our future crashes down faster than the hot metal rain
Don't call it insane-
We're praying for eternal rest
Good old self satisfaction and virgin flesh
Of course, this was all Invented when the planet was flat- the sun circled round the earth
Believe and leave it at that
From blade to gat
Fission bombs- cleanse and blaze
And with a little luck we just may bring the end of days

I wonder-
What if there was no religion?
What if there were no debate?
What would we kill for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"
What if there was no division?
What if we said no to faith?
What would we die for then?
They say "Nothings going to change this world"

Well I dare you to doubt them

Gona take it as far as we can take it
Gona take it as far as we can go

All my time is owed
I'm gone but I can't go
Into that shallow hole
There's got to be more to life than this
