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
