Atlas Volt - Memento Mori lyrics

The gift of life comes with a fee Remember, your mortality Is the price to pay Just seize the day Face-to-face with certainty The only thing that's guaranteed Ain't no surprise It's your own demise Mystic rites and superstitions Wishful thinking and delusions Of afterlife Of afterlife Won't bring you closer to an answer To all your questions they will refer To your faith in some kind of prophet As your money is used to turn a profit They'll use the most repressive measures To ensure that you'll suppress all pleasures In your life With their lies They claim that faith is d**h-defying Forgive them they don't know they're lying Too afraid to say they don't know They're putting on an absurd freak show This personal relationship With “him” is just an ego trip Distorting facts to suit opinions While spreading a hoax for generations Wake up from your dreams of Heaven ‘cause fear of Hell is the true reason For the trivial forms of supplication In every organized religion Eternal life is an illusion So please don't tell us there's no reason To cry When you'll die They'll make you pay for your salvation Scavenging all your donations To wage a war on evolution This completes the whole demonstration Of the incompatibility Of science and theology And their mix in some exotic blends Will serve someone's own selfish ends Induced irrationality In childhood is a tragedy An easy answer for those who pledge To never eat from the tree of knowledge Exposing all your contradictions Of false and empty revelations You hold on tight to the traditions But you'll never answer for your actions Until you die Tell me why You deny It's a lie To me it's blasphemy To ignore reality Let's make this history The truth will set you free And all these man-made fantasies To fill the gaps with mysteries will sublime Sublime I seek the truth in what I see But I hear you accusing me Of thought crime I don't mind It's my life On the line Science will open your eyes This fear of d**h can't justify all your lies Your lies The wheel of time will keep on crushing Your life, so make it more fulfilling You're alive Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive…
