Here it is again the moment of doubt
It's the only faith I can't do without
Survived the brainwash, I was shameless throughout
We've all been screwed by the truly devout
I scorn the word, I must confess
Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness
No ancient fiction, soothes my despair
No righteous judgment, pretending to care
No second coming, no useless prayer
So many yesterdays I did fail the test
Like Dr Pangloss I know it's for the best
So many times I should have known but I guessed
My daily bread is a continuous quest
I scorn the word, I must confess
Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness
No ancient fiction, soothes my despair
No fearsome phantoms, no angels' lair
Now is eternity... bow to infinity... sure as uncertainty... pure as hypocrisy
Forever more... always the war... we all keep score...'til time slams the door
Take the last dance... no second chance... vultures romance... shadows advance
Here I am somehow in spite of it all
Fired down the barrel on a cannonball
Yes gravity will soon decide how I fall
No fear today no savior I can call
I scorn the word, I must confess
Yet I'm not guilty, I don't need forgiveness
No ancient fiction, soothes my despair
No second coming, no useless prayer
