d**h of an Era - The Illusionist (Pt. 1) lyrics

Your faith will cease Your church was invented to control it's people In the name of something greater than itself It demands your blind faith But nothing ever comes with ease Their lies will hide contradiction You must choose to see through the lines An institution founded on fear Obey a god or suffer so-called righteous wrath Your bible leaves too much to question There fails to be consistency What kind of god would you seek That only brought destruction on his child? And a jealous god who turned his back on man? Where was your god When his own people bowed to their knees And died at the hands of Hitler? Where was your god When thousands of Christians were tortured and k**ed At the hands of the inquisition? Throughout the ages God has only shown us tribulation and fear Omnipotent, he won't save you God looks on carelessly as the whole world burns Tell me where your god is Tell me how he's worked in your life All I see is a path of destruction and unanswered prayers I've stood here idle and said nothing For far too long I'm here to warn you of a church that's done you wrong When everything falls down around you And there's nothing left You will remember my words And you will pay them heed
