lyrics
Obey submit worship praise
I AM
The open hand to meet your mind's clenched fist
The ever anti arbiter, anti mystic list
And every sign that's claimed divine, I come here to resist
And though they might coerce, well I continue to persist
So BOW DOWN
They command, but I just won't enlist
So use your mind and give mankind your single greatest gift
Conformity comes easy, you know. Ignorance is bliss.
But hold your head up high while they continue to insist
You BOW DOWN
While we all raise our voices up and sing
And praise our own ability to question everything
And if our answers don't hold up? Then let their death knell ring.
So boldly face tomorrow's truth, whatever it may bring
So BOW DOWN
They demand, but hold your head up high
And though they push you to the dirt, keep looking to the sky
And to the stars we'll go before they let those warheads fly
Misguided and consumed with hand for hand and eye for eye
So BOW DOWN
As they place their boot upon your back
Inform you of your sins and all the glory that you lack
You see, the greatest threat to them is a woman who talks back
So quick to profess their god's love as they beat you blue and black
So BOW DOWN
They cry as you are screaming from the roof
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof!"
To understand our purpose, well, we all must seek the truth
See, the greatest sin is to allow the brainwashing of youth
So BOW DOWN
And label me whatever you may wish
Call me heathen, blasphemer, skeptic, atheist
But trust I'll rattle off the hundreds of gods you've dismissed
The only thing that divides us?
I've crossed one more off my list.
