Dälek - Opiate The Ma**es lyrics

1. Spit sacrilege Blasphemous breath remains accurate Context of text lost its core concepts Who speaks our truth? Convicts or prophets? Must maintain logic Who murdered Gnostics? Fevered mind's slip Vision off axis Knowledge kept backwards Through iris refracted Light formed of darkness Sacrifice offered Throat slit on author For teaching these paupers Falsehoods fostered force us to react Blind faith forms fanatical combat Speech figured deep as the learned adapt Papal armies poised for attack, well in fact... Your precious books written by hands of human This Christian Jihad will bleed the poor man Beliefs and ideas can't stand congruent Morality myths kept the common mind ruined. chorus: Opiate ma**es Knowledge kept backwards Religion organized gave rise to ill factors: Genocide from Genesis to last chapter Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black(er) 2. Manipulated mental Misguided myths You pray to crossed sticks and nails through each wrist Discard that true gift Truth still elusive Illusions used to strip strength from last human Past omen's looming Awake the dead Misread basic meaning, best left unsaid What sanity? Sift though soul hold to thread Did missionaries wield swords or break bread? Your holy books only increase bloodshed Those holy books only increase bloodshed From first moments they moved to subdue populous Pagan beliefs interweave to form doctrine Ironic when you speak of heresy These priests can't even see their own diseased fraternity So f** that sour wine and stale wafer Your pale portrait of a hippie could never be my savior. chorus: Opiate ma**es Knowledge kept backwards Religion organized gave rise to ill factors: Genocide from Genesis to last chapter Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black(er) Bridge: The role of religion in the domination and the destruction Of African civilization, Is so shameful... No matter how you look at it, the picture is negative Because all of them did more harm than good All of them made their God.... Ungodly. chorus: Opiate ma**es Knowledge kept backwards Religion organized gave rise to ill factors: Genocide from Genesis to last chapter Concealed the fact the man Jesus was Black(er)
