Now I See

They told me
to bow
before I sat at the pew
they told me
to make the sign of the cross
before I "prayed"
If only they knew
that I would rebel
If only I knew
I didn't have to be a slave
to their oppressive control

I cannot conform
I will not bow
you have unleashed a storm
ready to take you down

I was misled
confused and lost
now I see
where I truly belong
and it's not with you
and your self righteous
bullshit
it's not with you
and your empty threats

this "God" of yours
knows who and what I am
don't tell me otherwise
I'm fed up with this mess
that you created yourself
so now I see
the true nature of your heart
now I see
that you mean to take me apart

at first you were good
spreading your thoughts
but then you became demanding
selfish
lustful
a glutton of power
a leech
sucking hope and joy
from the innocent
breaking your own commandments
because your god "told" you to

you burned innocent
girls and women
at the stake
you sexist bastards
millions of families
terrorized and tortured
for their beliefs
my people were pushed
to the brink of existence
because of your tyranny
because of your injustice

I am now in better hands
they tell me to respect you
even though you never earned it
to hell with what they say
I hate you
may the Goddess forgive me
because it's true
your reign has come to an end
you no longer have
the upper hand

Now I see
from a good angle
your true intentions
it's not good
and you still don't see
that I'm finally free
you try to place orders
upon me
well, it ain't working
so...

FUCK OFF!
