Capitulation

 
Why are we placating religion
Why are we pandering to its dogmas?
Why are we excusing evildoers?
Stoning’s, beheadings, paedophilia
Honour killings, rape, murder,
Sharia courts, beatings, racism

Does God really hate fags?
Does the Ten Commandments
Not really apply when God is on your side
Do you really get seventy-two virgins?
When you're a successful suicide bomber
Or do all suicide victims end up in hell

Is religion a serial killer?
Killing infidels, killing Catholics,
Protestants, Jews, Hindus, atheists
Are holy wars ever holy?
Are crusaders just rapists, thieves and murderers
Are those bringing jihad sanctified

Giving into religious demands
Like giving a vampire blood
Like giving a junkie free crack
Like giving a wife beater brass knuckles
Like giving a cutter fresh razor blades
Like giving a child abuser holy sanctuary

We are witnessing the destruction
Of western secular societies
Where extreme religion is becoming normal
Where creationism is taught as science
Where the sentence for apostasy is death
Where Jews get ethnically cleansed

There will be blood
Flowing in the streets
As religions vie for power
Crucifixions, beheadings,
War on the streets
A holy backlash is coming

If you give them an inch
They will take a yard
And they will keep taking
Until your secular human rights
Have all been removed by force
By dictate and body counts


Do not bow the knee
Do not hoist the white flag
Not in my name or on my watch
I will not respect a religion
Where evil is the given practice
That includes most of them

Offence? Be deliberately offensive
Challenge every religious dogma
Blaspheme their gods
Help them with their mental illness
Insult their imaginary friends
Let them know it's open season

If we placate and excuse
If we give in to their demands
We will be undone
We will be destroyed
Secularism, humanism,
Logic, reason and science
Are worth fighting and dying for
