And did those feet in ancient times
trod on America's pastures of green?
And did that anthropocentric God
wane with their thoughts
and beliefs all unseen?
I don't think so,
He's up there with the others laying low
Vying with those,
who you've traded your life
to bless your soul?
And have they told you how to think?
Cleansed your mind ofsepsis and autonomy
Or have you escaped from scrutiny
and regaled your self with depravity?
Now we all see,
religion's just synthetic frippery
Unnecessary
in our e panding global culture
of efficiency
Now don't you fear,
this impasse we have built to our future
Ever so near
and oh, so austere
Oh, so austere
Oh, so austere
Oh, so austere
