Reasonable doubt (narrow escape)

When I stood in the congregation
And hung my head in shame  
For I no fear to turn the tide of mitigation  
Untied but still remain  
 
When the vicar asks the question  
Bitten tongue your awkward silence  
Does any here  have good reason  
They not be wed and to have that licence  
 
For when I started out a ferris wheel  it soared  
The lift of expectation the mezmerizing ride  
A labarinth of feelings no chance of feeling bored  
 Finally feel connections deep inside  
 
The strength to face what make you tick  
Religon's anchors hold fast that ship  
The ceremony familys all expect  
Cards all down could I make that switch  
 
Brotherhoods of rituals cult, seek ultimate control  
Heart and head torn in rended fire  
Skullcap or the beard so full  
Which is truth and which is lie's  
 
A straightjacket of costoms and thoughts  
Believe or be dammed that prophecy scribed  
Now just a child a piece in a broken jigsaw  
No winners no losers the time to say goodbye
 
 To procede down a one way street  
A conscience weighed with fears distraught  
All is lost to those that hesitate, pecieve a future bleak  
To cheat and blame another cause  
 
For there is a preacher a dictum not shallow  
To come with the package a smile and a glower  
Who lays down the laws the mantra to follow  
A motherinlaw an escape oh so narrow
