[Verse 1] Knowledge is one of the best ways to demolish it Good ideas can stand, no need for apologists But as long as people use faith for solace, it Might not work to rid us of gods and goddesses I'd say how odd it is it's lasted so long But some will always hold on when pressure is so strong Prolonged artificially, misled from infancy We need entropy to enter these entities Its bigotry pervasive, but it's still persuasive We have the means but not the will to replace it So it stays in stasis, precepts of regression Need steps of egression, redress the deen lessons World hasn't seen weapons unleashed on the ma**es That were this disastrous, we have to move past it Let it all turn to ashes, let a new age begin d**h is a part of life, all things come to an end [Hook] Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left [Verse 2] Paint's been on canvas, monuments been erected Symphonies been composed, they don't need to protect it Check it: If it had a purpose, it's already been served A vestige hanging around longer than it deserves Preserved for the benefit of degenerates Who claim they can make your insignificance infinite Inclimate to the insolent, influencing the innocent Vigilant in their diligence to mask its impotence By playing to sentiments, not to your common sense Bottomless promises, vomited from prophet's lips Confidence in providence just bolsters the soldiers When we need to get their arms close to the holsters Disposed of and sobered so one day we can k** this Idea of sin, that psychosomatic illness We'll never see our brilliance if we stay in the dark It might take some time, but I can't wait till it starts [Hook] Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left [Verse 3] They see the cracks and adapt so it won't all collapse But they sing the same song prolonging the final act Perhaps if they accepted that it doesn't ring true They wouldn't hold on so tight to the things that they cling to Whatever it brings you, look at it with some pragmatism It's gotta go, the catechisms need cataclysms Antagonism for lack of visions and bad decisions Keep up the activism, one day we will crash the system You don't need to ask permission or give apologies Let the homilies and prophecies become mythology Honestly, it'll probably become comedy And believers will be seen as novelty or anomalies Think responsibly, teach your progeny reasoning Every day, a little more logic is creeping in The iron fist is weakening, encrusted in rust Change is coming, you know what wind does to the dust [Hook] Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left Let the books decay, let the statues fall Let the paint just fade and peel off the walls Let the stories go, let life manifest Let it break, crumble, till there's nothing left [Outro] Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust Let it rot away, let angels become angel dust
